[SOLVED] Getting tripped up...

[Imperial_Steele]

I want to give the Player Character an option to "trip" an NPC. The way I figured it is I make the Actor move aside, move the other character down, play a "walk" animation to make the PC look like they're sticking their foot out, then replace the 2nd characters' graphic with a "fallen down" image, complete with sound effect.

However, I've hit a snag. The 2nd character won't move down past the PC once they've stepped aside. I've attached the relevant code snippet; what am I doing wrong?

As an aside, how can I make the "walk" animation only happen once, instead of looping? I've taken it out of the example I'm attaching because I thought that was soft-locking the event, but, nope. Still not doing anything.

Edit: updated title to say "solved"

Presumably this is what you're going for (P for player character G for Gary in this case):
1:
G
P
2:
G
->P
3:
|
GP

But three isn't happening, correct? The fact that P can move means the tile should be passable. Which means the event should work. Still, try giving Gary through and see if that works?

Well holy crap, that worked!

I had the event in the tile he couldn't move to, so that it would be triggered by the player. Since the player could move into/through it, it didn't occur to me that other NPCs couldn't.

Thanks!
