Prevent Main Char Walking During Parallel Events?

[Ghetto]

Hello!
I have a scene in my game where I want the main character to be stationary while a couple of npcs are moving around, these events are run as parallel processes and therefore my character can move at the same time.. is there a solution to this?

autorun events stop ur character until the event is done

you could set a move route on the player and give a wait command for the number of frames it would take for the scene to play out.

That is true, but with autorun events I can not have multiple events run at the same time or can I?

Thank you! I made a new parallel event with the same condition switch as the npcs and applied the move route waiting command and it was a success

if you're asking that question, then you're doing it wrong.

you should NEVER split the commands of a cutscene between different events.

you need one controlling event (the autorun in this case) and that should remote-control all other events, giving those other events their move commands. All NPC events in a cutscene should be empty of commands, only the controlling event should have any commands as content.

Doing it with multiple parallel processes is a bad idea because it will create timing problems, lag the game more than needed and has other problems as well.

@Ghetto - that's not a good idea because you're adding an unnecessary parallel event... You should do that move route in the main parallel/autorun event and just dont tick the "Wait for completion" box so that the main event will still go with it's commands while the player will still wait for his move route to finish.

You can even opt to just make a repeating move route for the player, and undo it as the main event's last command.
