TUMBLINGAPART_DEV'S PROFILE

Ok, I am trying to run a fairly complex portion in my game. It requires messages to run while still allowing player movement. I was using Galv's (this dude is AWESOME by the way) Messages Without Wait script, but it does NOT allow the action button to work while messages are running. I then found PK8's script, which does.

However, I also use Yanfly's stop player from moving script, and have to apply it fairly often during times when I have to run parallel process rather than autorun. The problem is that the two do not seem to be compatible. Using PK8's script makes the other script stop working.

Is there a small modification I can make to either of these scripts that will still allow me to forcefully stop player movement with a switch while running PK8's? I can't use autorun as a substitute because the pages are already full of control switches and it isn't really possible due to the complexity.

Here is an example where all my event pages are already taken up, and making a ton of additional event pages to switch between parallel and autorun isn't possible.

Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance.


Here is the pk8 script:

Move During Messages v1.1S
by PK8
Created: 5/22/2012
Modified: 5/25/2012
Coverted for VXAce by Roninator2 on 19 Jan 2019
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¦ Author's Notes
This script was originally made as an event system around the
18th of October, 2005, purely out of accident. I was attempting to make a
very quick Pacman-esque demo (I forgot why), and came across player
characters moving around via move route while a message window was visible
during a test play completely by accident.

A few modifications to the event system and 7 years later, that system is
now a script.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¦ Introduction
Move During Messages allows players to... well, move during messages.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¦ Features
o Players can move during messages.
o Creators can set which maps enables/disables it.
o Creators can set how far the player can move while a message is being
displayed.
o Set multiple maps at once using ranges. (New to v1.1S)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¦ Changelog
o v1E (10/18/2005): Event System initially released.
o v2E (11/14/2008): v2 released.
o v1S (05/22/2012): It's now a script.
o v1.1S (05/25/2012): Now users can set ranges, streamlining the process
of setting which maps (dis)allows moving during
messages.

# This script provides two switches. One switch will stop all NPC events from

# Go to the module and bind the STOP_NPC_MOVEMENT_SWITCH and the
# STOP_PLAYER_MOVEMENT_SWITCH constants to a switch you want to stop NPC's and
# the player with.

Good idea. Posted it in tutorials.

Very Very nice!

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

Slaughterhouse Five, and generally anything by Vonnegut, is amazing. Other good novels include House of Leaves and Choke.

Ishmael is also a book that will never leave me.

Excellent review, and you are spot on with many issues.

Putting the game on greenlight this early was not ideal, but with Valve doing away with the service, I had to. The opening scene is way too long, and is something that was overlooked when initially built. It will be much shorter in the release version. Dialogue, which is too slow in the current state, will also be much faster and more concise. And while I tried to improve upon the rtp assets, I am no artist, but hope to have one when/if greenlit. I agree with all of these issues and they will be corrected before release.

The main focus of Tumbling Apart is the incredible story of Isaac and McKenna. And while it takes a leap of faith to believe someone when they say "trust me," I'm going to ask you to do just that. Tumbling Apart is going to make you feel something emotionally that won't leave you once finished. It's rough (especially the demo), but when the polish is there I believe you will be rewarded.

Thanks for the review and feedback. It was very helpful, and I am glad you are hopeful!
