Character Freezes after turning switch on.

[Troy168]

Hey, I'm stumped and I needed help. I'm working on a game when the character that I was controlling ended up frozen after talking to the guy that gives out the quest. I've tried several things to get passed the frozen state, but none of them were successful. I later found out that the switch caused the game to freeze. Is there a way to fix it?

And before anybody asks, I set the event to action button.

that means that this switch has activated an autorun.

you need to find the autorun controlled by that switch and either remove that autorun or name the switch and make sure it is not used for something other than controlling that autorun.

(and no, if you go on using a different switch without finding the autorun this has a chance of causing other errors depending on what else that forgotten autorun does)
it could be a common event (even one you never used and only accidentally changed to autorun) or a map event or a plugin (if you configured plugins wrong).

I see... So I have to find the switch that caused the autorun to begin. Where do I go to set a certain switch to do certain things? And if I can't do that, then where do I go to make sure that the switch doesn't activate after talking to someone?

YOU are the one who set the switch - nothing happens on its own. You just forgot that you did so.

And you already know which switch - it's the one that you used in the event that causes the freeze.
The problem is that you used it twice instead of once, and you need to find the other place.

And the places where you could have used it are those I already mentioned - in a map event on the map, in a common event or in a plugin.
you need to check every event on the map where the freeze happens, every common event in the database and every plugin with its properties that you have added to your project until your find the other use of that switch.

first check your common event to see if you used the switch there, if not, check the npc quest giver that turn on the switch,
you might have accidentally put hte next page on auto run, there is also a search for event's which you can see if you can find the switch
where you used it. Double check everything carefully.
