R2K3 TEST PLAY PROBLEM

Before closing down my game-in-progress for the day, I decided to do one last test play, but the character's controls were...dead. The only button that worked was the escape button to go to the menu. The NPCs were moving just fine. It was the weirdest thing ever. I'm pretty new to RPG Maker and I looked everywhere for something that could help solve this problem, but I haven't found anything useful yet. Please help, much appreciated!!

Are there common events or auto start/parallel processes running? If I remember correctly, that's usually the cause of things like this.

There was an auto-start event running. Thank you, that fixed it!
