[Events] → [Supplementary Windows] → [Set Move Route]

bm150

·Under the [Move Event] event command, the movements of actors and events can be specified in the window as shown in the screenshot. The method of setting a move route will be explained here.

·This window contains the same settings as [Set Custom Route] under [Movement Type] in map events. However, in this case, the [Character] can be chosen.

1.Character

Choose the target character/actor/event from the dropdown menu. "This Event" will refer to the last map event on the call stack.

2.Frequency

Specify the frequency of movement from 1 to 8 levels. The greater the number, the shorter the time it will take to process the commands set under [Move Event].

3.Movement Commands

·The actions of the event movement are specified by placing movement commands (see reference) onto the list. The list commands will be processed from top to bottom in order and reflected in the character/event's movement on the map.

·To add a new command, click on the location in the list (where ◇ is displayed) to insert the command (the entry will be highlighted), and click the button of the command to add.

·To delete an existing command, click to specify the command to delete, and click the [Delete] button. If the [Delete all] button is clicked, the entire contents of the list will be cleared.

·If an existing command is right-clicked, a shortcut menu will be displayed. Using this menu, the [Cut], [Copy], [Paste] and [Delete] operations can be performed on the command.

·Under [Options], two options are available for the move route settings. The checked options are enabled.

Repeat Action	If enabled, processing will return to the command at the top of the list after all the commands have been processed, and repeat indefinitely.
Skip if Cannot Move	When enabled, if the character attempts to move on a tile with blocked passage, that command will be skipped.

Notes

·Event facing direction and animation properties will put the event's own [Graphic] and [Animation type] settings at greater priority. For this reason, commands that control the event's facing direction and animation will not work when the event's facing direction are fixed and animation is off.

·If the same event processing content contains multiple event commands that control the same [Character], only the last event command settings will take effect. To make the settings of each one take effect, please add a [Resume Movement] event command after this command.

·Changes to the properties of movement speed, opacity, facing direction, animation ON/OFF, through ON/OFF, and graphic changes will persist after processing is complete.

·The move frequency has no effect on move operations other than steps or changes of the turning direction. So, if you want to slowly fade out an event using the movement command "Increase Opacity" and a low movement frequency, you should include a turning direction command between the "Increase Opacity" commands, otherwise the event will immediately disappear.
