Normal Event Problem

[NunoAle]

Hey guys.

I have normal scene. It has a fire moving in paralel process, a sound repeating itself in a paralel process and finally, it has 5 events that all move simultaneously. It does everything good until the movement part. From there, it breaks, the music keeps playing, but the image is sort of stuck. What am I to do?

Thanks.

Erm, it was making sense until you mentioned something about a movement part. Can you be a tad more specific?

 

[Cruelty]

maybe make the fire sound the map's BGS instead of looping it on a parallel process?

etid-btw, i didn't quite understand this question much, either >_>

 

[NunoAle]

Well, it has the fire moving and the sound in paralel process. Then I have 5 characters (5 differente events) that, at a certain point of the cutscene, move all simultaneously. When you are supposed to see everyone and everything moving, the game like, "crashes", the screen freezes and only sound keeps playing (so I know the program hasn't crashed completly). What can I do to fix it?

The fire is BGS, there's another sound playing above the fire.

 

[Ryuzaki]

Maybe you could upload it, so we could get a better idea of what you mean. Sound playing =/= not complete crashed btw. It's probably because of your move routes being blocked, but I'm not entirely sure without taking a better look.

It's kinda big... Wait.

I know, it looks hard to understand... But, just read what I said and associate the Events and movements. When the 5 movements activate, instead of [E3, E7] moving, what happens is that the image freezes and we can't see the continuity of the cutscene.

 

[Ryuzaki]

Do you have them all moving simultaneously?

 

[NunoAle]

Yes, that's what I said! =P

EDIT: They all start moving simutaniously.

 

[Ryuzaki]

It'd be easier to understand while actually seeing a screenshot of the event and/or screen. Plus, it'd be a lot easier to find the problem.

[Ryuzaki]

Your character and EV4(?) are trying to occupy the same spot. That's the problem.

 

[NunoAle]

If that would be a problem, it would happen when you actually see the Events moving, which we do not.

 

[Ryuzaki]

Look at the arrows you've drawn. They are trying to stand onto the same square. The only way around it, is to set one of their movements to be ignored if they can't move.

 

[NunoAle]

But like, it's not their movements that are ignored. The only movements that should be ignored where the error ones, and the others with no erros don't move too. The fire you see moving stops, which means, the screen freezes.

 

[Ryuzaki]

That's because the event can't continue. It affects the whole game, not just that one thing. Try pressing ESC next time it happens.

 

[regi]

Try setting "Through" On, or "Ignore if Can't Move." If it works, then Ryuzaki mentioned the right problem.

 

[NunoAle]

It wasn't the right problem. I checked all the movements and they were all right. It's when the 5 characters are all to begin their movement simultaneously that it crashes. ESC doesn't work, nothing works unless closing the game.

 

[regi]

Hmm... do you think you could post a screenshot of the event commands?

 

[seita]

Is it safe to assume that each event has its movements in itself (which explains the parallel processing), or do you control all of the movements within one event? Please post a screenshot.
