Help! Party problem

[Rhalex Programs RPGs]

Guys,this is what happened.

I made a battle-like cutscene and then when the cutscene is done,the player would have someone new to the party.But after the

cutscene,the player DOES get a new follower,in exchange for the controls. Simply put,you can't move.

How do I fix this??? I tried everything.

Any answer will do.

Do you teleport somewhere else after the player joins the party? If you use the arrow keys, can you turn in different directions? In that case, your tileset passage settings are not correct - the top left tile in the B tab should be set to a star.


If you can't even move, you've got one of two problems ... an autorun event that has no commands - particularly check how you disable your cutscene event - if you switch to a new page and that page is set to autorun, it'll stop you from moving. Make sure no other autorun event has been switched on at the end of the cutscene. The other problem could be, if your cutscene includes moving the player after the new member joins, and you try to move somewhere that you can't move, it could freeze things up.


If you can't figure it out, post a screenshot of your cutscene event - if it's too long to fit without scrolling, just give us the bottom commands. Make sure you include the WHOLE event window in the screenshot, not just the commands. And if you have multiple pages, include one for each page.

It's like this:

I enter a new map with a interactive cutscene:



Then,the cutscene gets triggered once I enter the map:



And I walk to said NPC:



And battle commences,I attacked dragon and won battle:



And now I spoke to NPC,and then it said "NPC Bob joined your party!"(since that's what I made it say.)

And then,I can't move but the game is still responsive.I double-checked the events,no pages have autorun enabled after the fight,no events are interfering with the main event,and still not fixed.

I'd still like to see a screenshot of your cutscene event. The map images are semi-useful, but the event itself will be better.


You didn't actually answer any of my questions. Can you turn in different directions? Can you access the menu? Did you check the Tab B top left tile?


If you can't move, there is SOMETHING causing it. The three things I said above are the most common.

1.I can't turn in different directions.As I said,I can't move a bit.

2.No,I can't access the menu as well.

3.Yes,and it has a star on it.

Here is the event window:

Dude, you don't end it with Erase Event. You end it permanently with Self Switches, that will make the event stop forever..

Edit: For my answer, make another page. And click the "If Self Switch: X is on)

Edit 2: Try to find any other events instead of the storyline event you made. I once posted a topic, and spotted that I have an event without a self switch (or event ending things)

Nope,I changed it to a self switch and the problem is still there,I can't move.

 

[Shaz]

Your third page is Action Button. So it's never going to run unless the player interacts with it.


Instead of turning on the switch, turn on a self switch. Then change the condition on the third page to use the self switch instead of the switch.


Although, I don't think that would make your game hang. I bet there's another autorun event somewhere that's being turned on. If it's not on the map, look in the Common Events and see if you have an autorun event (even one with no commands) that would be active due to the switches that are currently on.

 

[Matchitza]

Shaz is right, i once have a problem like this. You should try to check your map very carefully. Until you see an event you don't recognize, and check it if it's empty or autorun.. Try this if this resolve your problem, if it does NOT. Post a picture of your tiles for us to see..

 

[Shaz]

If all else fails, you can zip up your project folder (don't compress it) and load it up online somewhere. I'd guess it'd only take one of us a couple of minutes, max, to find the problem.

1.I can't turn in different directions.As I said,I can't move a bit.

That means you have an active autorun either on the current map or on a common event.
It isn't the event whose pages you attached above - that event has some troubled pages like said above, but it cannot cause the freeze.


Please check all other map events for active autoruns, and check all common events with autoruns to see if their switches might have been triggered in this scene or map.

DANGIT.

*facepalm* *facepalm* *facepalm* 

Shaz,thanks man,I completely forgot that I resorted to a common event earlier to try and fix it,but it was actually the problem.Thanks for the help!!

And also,XDCorez,I did make a new page and used a self switch instead of a switch,but never mind.It's been fixed.

Thanks for the help,wouldn't be able to fix this problem without you two helping me!!!

You can close this thread now.

It has already been solved.
