Cannot move whatsoever

[cultus]

For some reason, I can't move. No matter what map I'm in, I can't move. I can't even turn. I added bgm to play occasionally. When I alt-tab the game, the music plays. When I open the tab, the game freezes. I don't know what's going on!

You have an autorun event that's active. If it happens on every map, it's probably a common event. Check through those and see which ones are on autorun.


If you haven't turned on any switches enabling them, see if you've added any scripts that use switches that are also used by your autorun events.

Or you added the BGM with an autorun and forgot to switch off that autorun...

 

[Shaz]

The music always plays when you switch focus away from the game. It's a shortcoming with RPG Maker. Music playing when you change the focus has nothing to do with this issue.

I have no events in my game. I cannot move at all.

If you cannot move at all, it is an autorun event or a script. Trust me.

As Shaz said, if you cannot move at all then either you broke the engine with a script or you activated an autorun.

Check your common events - if you even tried to change the trigger on one out of curiosity and forgot to change it back, that can be the autorun that blocks you now.

Maybe you have the first B tile set to X?  That wouldn't make it so you couldn't move at all, but it would make it so you couldn't travel across the map.  It needs to be set to star.

 

[Shaz]

But the OP said he can't even turn, which points to an autorun event (or script) as the problem.

It's not a passability issue, since I cannot change direction.

Then it must be an autorun or script.

Have you checked every single event on that map?  It is very easy to accidentally click the wrong choice in an event and set it to auto run when you meant something else.

Have you checked all your Common Events, including blank looking slots just in case you forgot to name one, to make sure nothing there is on auto run?

If your project is very small, you could zip it up and upload it somewhere (not somewhere that requires us to register to download) and let us take a look at it.

 

[cultus]

Figured it out. Common events thing.

You mean, like I said in the very first reply and most of the people afterwards said?
