Why doesn't the player move?

[Bob423 52]

ok, so i have an event that, does this:

 

there is a box, and if you press enter, it moves in the direction you are facing, and keeps going until it hits a wall. if it touches a certain tile, a switch is triggered.

 

here's the problem. when i press enter, the box moves, but the player is frozen, as if there is still an event running.

 

here's what i have

"Wait For Move's Completion" is bit deceptive.

 

Everyone, including myself when I started using RMXP, assumes it means "Wait for THIS Move's Completion", but its not.

[Bob423 52]

so then what is it? what is it waiting for? obviously something that will never happen

Check out this script. Zeriab made a a fix for the Interpreter that also include the feature to select which event's move to wait for.

k thanks

 

but it looks like it just fixes the call script command. what exactly is it supposed to do?

Read the main topic. It is explained in detail.

You can use that, or you can use this. Found another "bug" in it that I missed, with Player Repeat Move and "Wait for (Every) Move's Completion"

 

Interpreter Wait for Repeat Bugfix

 

 

class Interpreter

# Initialize loop count
@loop_count = 0
# Loop
loop do
  # Add 1 to loop count
  @loop_count += 1
  # If 100 event commands ran
  if @loop_count > 100
	# Call Graphics.update for freeze prevention
	Graphics.update
	@loop_count = 0
  end

	for event in $game_map.events.values
	  # If this event is forcing but not repeating move route (BUGFIX)
	  #One Line of Code needed to be fixed.  Added "and not event.move_route.repeat"
	  if event.move_route_forcing and not event.move_route.repeat
		return
	  end
	end
	# Clear move end waiting flag
	@move_route_waiting = false
  end

end
 end
end

 

 

Instructions: Make a New Script somewhere between Main and Scene Debug, (select Main and hit the Insert Key on your Keyboard), in the new script, Name it something like Interpreter Bugfix, and on the Right Pane where the code goes, copy and paste the code I gave you (or Zeriab's), and the Repeat Events shouldnt cause your game to stop any more.

 

I have to read up on how Zeriab did his fix, mine was simple, two lines and you dont need to configure anything, but he definitely added a few more options and functionality making it more versatile. Which ever way you want, either of those scripts should work for your needs.
