That's a big thing I have with the move routes. Any suggestions?

You know about the "ignore impossible moves" thing, right? I know that sometime that can ruin things even more.

Depends on a few things, but sometimes you can have a separate page for when the NPC is moving and use the "collision with hero" trigger and put in a move hero command. That way if you bump into the NPC it will push you aside.

You could also put the NPC on a different layer, below hero or above hero. Then take special precautions to make sure that they stay in the boundaries of the objects on the maps(if they move outside of a specific set path). Or even just put them on a different layer when they are moving on that path. OR just use phasing mode ON when they start the path, then turn it OFF when they are done. Be careful not to interrupt the move command or phasing mode can get stuck on. If that happens you can always put a backup event to turn it off.

If it's a cutscene and the hero isn't supposed to move while the NPC is moving too, you could disable player movement. Check the player's coordinates and if he's in the way, move him before the NPC starts moving. If NPC movement is triggered by an action key event, put in a branch that doesn't allow the player to start the movement if they are in the way of the NPC path.

haha Just some random thoughts, I never really had to test these things myself. If you need me to explain anything further I can.

*oh this is VX ace. I don't know how much of this applies to that engine or maybe there are different options available. I always think in terms of 2k3 commands.

Also couldnt talk to any faireis or read signs.
EDIT: game froze at my coronation ceremony

Haha he didnt catch me, oh great an idea.
