How to make a character move on a looping map?

[SakuraMiya]

For my game I'm using a cutscene which includes a looping map and two characters talking as the map loops (using Set Move + 1 Step Forward + Repeat). At one point the characters stop walking for a while and then resume walking, but I can't make them stop. I tried to use an event as a parallel process but nothing happens. What do I do?

I have this exact same kind of cutscene in my game. I made it a while back so I'm sure there's a more solid way of doing it, but this worked for me. I have two parallel processes. The first one has a loop, and inside that loop it has a "move down" set move route command for each character I want moving. None of the boxes are checked, and there's a "wait 10" after them inside the loop. This event has a Conditional Switch titled "walking loop"

My second parallel process handles everything else. Whenever I want them to stop walking (including the player) I just turn off the "walking loop" switch and they'll stop walking. Turn it back on if you want them to continue

edit: the loop inside the first parallel process is important because it won't repeat if there's a message box active without it.

Y-yeah....I more or less figured I needed to use a loop instead, but I'm not familiar enough with loops. Any screenshot or something? It's very important

On the second screenshot, the text("blabla") is because I'm using an external text script, but it works just like a message command.

A bit late, but it worked after all! The problem was that I didn't add any loops. Thank you.
