HELP WITH EVENT CODING...

Alright, basically, I have it set so the event (a zombie) chases the player. I know you can do this automatically by having the event's move pattern set to approach, however, I want to do it the long way so I can have the zombie chase NPCs if they're closer.

So, this is what I have (with some notes)

LOOP
V1 = Player's Map X
V2 = Player's Map Y
V3 = Zombie's Map X
V4 = Zombie's Map Y
(V5 is the X distance between player and zombie)
V5 = V1
V5 = V5 - V3
(V6 is the same, but with the Y axis)
V6 = V2
V6 = V6 - V4
(This conditional branch changes the values of V5 to a positive number if it's negative so it could be potentially compared to a positive Y)
Conditional Branch: V5 < 0
V7 = V5
V7 = V7 - V5
V7 = V7 - V5
Branch End
(This conditional branch does the same, but for a negative Y axis)
V8 = V6
V8 = V8 - V6
V8 = V8 - V6
Branch End
(This next branch compares X to Y to see which is greater)
Conditional Branch: V7 >= V8
(If the X axis is greater than Y, the zombie will move in the appropriate direction, left if the original outcome was negative...)
Conditional Branch : V5 < 0
Set Move Route : Move Left
(...or right if the outcome was positive)
Else
Set Move Route : Move Right
Branch End
(Now, if the Y is greater than X, the zombie should move in the correct direction, up if the original outcome was negative...)
Else
Conditional Branch: V6 < 0
Set Move Route : Move Up
(...or down if the outcome was positive)
Else
Set Move Route : Move Down
Branch End
Branch End
Repeat Above



Now, here's where my problem lies. Everything works perfectly except moving down. The zombie just won't do it. It'll move right, left, or up towards the player consistently and correctly, but it will never move down. Any help appreciated.

Well, I switched the Move Right and Move Down commands, and now the zombie does indeed move in all four directions...however, he moves down when he should move right and right when he should move down, since they're switched. @_@ If yours is working correctly, I would love it if you sent it.

Yeah, as long as everything works, that's fine. That's actually better. I don't use them for anything else, so it'll free 'em up.

Hm, it won't let me open it...it says I don't have the RGSS RTP Standard?

Yep, with the RTP I can run the game...however, I can't open the project file to see the coding, 'cause RPG Maker XP doesn't seem to work with Vista. ._.

Got it all redone, works perfect so far! Thanks SO much. If I ever get this game finished, I'll be sure to credit you. ^_^
