Need help with a cutscene.

[WolfDragon]

What i'm trying to do is this: The player speaks with an inn keeper and has a list of choices. One of the options should display some text and then transport the player outside the inn (map).

The player is invisible and a cutscene rolls, the scene is a sprite walking a set amount of steps then the screen goes black. The player and the sprite get moved to a different spot in the map.

The screen come back and (player still invisible) the sprite moves around, some text appears and then the player gets moved back to the inn where they where before(now visible).

My problem is that i'm having a bit of trouble with this (Can i even do this? Do i need a script for this?)

When i get the player out of the inn and outside where they need to trigger the event, the sprite follows the path but when the event reaches the end of its move route the game freezes.

Anyone know what I should do?

The "only trigger once" is simple enough - just add a switch to the event, and set up a new page for the Innkeeper's event with the switch active, lacking that cutscene.

Also, I think you'll need to put the cutscene event as an Autorun event on the map to which you teleport.

You need to show us the event, so that we can check what you did wrong.
At first guess you made a mistake when switching off the event, because otherwise it would either repeat or not freeze, but we need to see what you've done to detect the bugs

The problem is most likely that the move route is incorrect. It attempts to move the event into an occupied spot, thus preventing the action from fully resolving. If it cannot resolve, the game freezes.

From what I've seen, events cannot share tiles with other events or actors.

Hope this helps!

Independent of any other problem, there is a big no-go in your use of the transfer command.


Transfers to a different map will always break the regular execution of events, simply because upon entering a new map a lot of events are reset and restarted.


There are a few exeptions, but most commands after a transfer will not be executed, you need to give them on the map the player is transferred to.

Just wanted to add that as long as the "through" box is checked they can. I have alot of event tiles that when stepped on cause you to do stuff and move around which causes other events to move to you and through the other event tiles.
