Summary
Hi! In my game, the player is supposed to escape a room full of zombies by going through a hole in the floor. I chose a damaged floor tile, tweaked it in the Database to make it Passable in all four directions. Added an event on the tile, screenshot added below. When I play the game, the transfer player function works variably!

Hi! In my game, the player is supposed to escape a room full of zombies by going through a hole in the floor.
Is this some weird bug or something? Been puzzling about this for days, so I decided to finally make an account here just to ask this!
Would really appreciate any help I can get, thanks!
Here's a screenshot of the transfer event contents.
I've updated this upon your suggestions so that the Transfer Player function is last.

UPDATE!
After more hours of playtests, I realized that the transfer function actually works pretty consistently BEFORE a particular event is triggered.
Below is a screenshot of the exact event that immediately precedes the transfer player issues. This "Realizes everyone left" switch gives the zombies autonomous movement
and enables the battle sequence with them.

This is what it looks like when it works, I.E. Before the above event is triggered:

Here's what it looks like when it doesn't work; i.e. after that event is triggered.

Thanks all for your answers so far, please keep them coming

When I start a new game and play it up to this point, it doesn't work. The player character is just hovering over the tile, no transfer happening.
- When I save the game at this point and then load it, it miraculously works, and my player is successfully transfered to the spot I intended
