Summary

Ugh. I've tried to use Andar's answer for someone else's problem when it comes to an npc moving as the player moves, but it hasn't worked. My problem is slightly different though. The event works up to the point when the player can move. I'm hoping to have a particular NPC running round a set route repeatedly while the player is able to move, during the starting plot to my game, but at the end of the event the NPC stops at an impassable point, trying to follow the same...

The event works up to the point when the player can move. I'm hoping to have a particular NPC running round a set route repeatedly while the player is able to move, during the starting plot to my game, but at the end of the event the NPC stops at an impassable point, trying to follow the same route. Have I done something wrong, because I need to be able to talk with him to continue the plot?

As I said, the event does work.

But after this point, my NPC ends up stopping against the map.

This is after the event finishes, where the player can move.

As you can see, I have been able to move my PC.

But up to here well, the NPC gets stuck against the edge of the map. He has followed the same route after theevent finished, but wrongly. He is meant to continue going round in a circle on the path around my PC. Can anyone help me?


I would like the player to be able to move and speak with him, but if my question can't be solved I'll just have it as a whole event.
