A conveyor belt that won't work

[OverlordMao 0]

I've tried to make a conveyor belt setup that would work like this.

Event 1: Left Arrow

Set Move Route : Player (Wait)
              : $>Change Speed: 5
              : $>Walking Animation Off
              : $>SE: 'Cursor,' 80, 100
              : $>Move Left
              : $>Change Speed: 4
              : $>Walking Animation ON

 

Event 2: Up Arrow

Set Move Route : Player (Wait)
              : $>Change Speed: 5
              : $>Walking Animation Off
              : $>SE: 'Cursor,' 80, 100
              : $>Move UP
              : $>Change Speed: 4
              : $>Walking Animation ON

As it should work: Once you step on event 1, it pushes you onto event 2 which is then set off. However, when I try this, it only pushes the character onto event 2 without setting it off. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

Note: everything within the code box is exactly each event command as best as I could copy it.

hmm, i tried in VX and.. it stopped when touching the event, doesn't in XP tho, sooo, it'll have to be done by viariables - unfortunately I don't know much at all about them. I'm sure someone else here can sort you out :)

That's a little defect in VX. If you move onto another event from a "Move Route", the event you move over will not activate. Try to make the whole conveyor belt route with one event while the others are blank.

Here's my version of a conveyor belt. I used the signs because it's good to have a tile that the player can't walk on at any time, only at the places you want him to.

 

Also, I would suggest making the conveyor belt an actual tile. Preferably replacing a water tile.

yeah i'd say that way as well, i thought of it before, but for some reason i thought it couldnt work O.o must have been the coffee i drank

I don't see why you want to do this with more than one event. Just do it all in one event. Also, here's a quick charset I compiled for you.

 

 

 

Make sure you name it with a ! and $ before the title.

Thanks for the character set, but I actually used those very conveyor belts and replaced the stone arrows that naturally come in RMVX.

I didn't realize that it was a defect in the game... :shok:

Anyway, if I'm going to have to set up the conveyor belt system like what you did, rgangsta, then I might as well get started. I'm using it as an obstacle in my game, like what they did in the Pokemon games for Team Rocket's hideout (or warehouse, I can't remember anymore).

That's why XP owns VX. You can do anything in XP that VX can do. You just have to be patient to event some processes.

I'm not patient. This is why I use VX mostly.
