How to see where custom move route is leading.

[TecNoir]

Alright so I'm trying to set a custom move route for my event and I would like to see where I'm going as I'm giving it directions. Is there a way for me to move the event boxes or something or do I just need to memorize the squares the event needs to move?

You'll basically have to keep track in your head.

The maps do have coordinates that you can refer to, but there's no real way to see the route destination unless you run a test game.

it helps if u slide the event box to the side so that u can see the map as you make the move route or, you could count up the spaces b4 you open the move route . Up x4, Right x3 ect.

What I do when writing long custom move routes is just get out a piece of paper and write the directions down while looking at my map in the editor.  There is no way I could memorize it with my memory.

If you can't see the entire move route on the map, you could change the zoom so it's easier to see, then move the event boxes out of the way. For long or complicated move routes (especially when I'm coordinating several characters), I take a screenshot and paste it into Paint.NET, add a layer for each character, then draw on each layer as I'm adding the move route, so I know exactly where I am, and where the other characters will be at the same time.
