Summary

I got no idea what I'm doing wrong, I got a parallel process which has a Wait in the middle. According to the tooltip "Wait" doesn't block the character from moving while it goes in a parallel process. However, it does block movement input for the duration. WTF? Screenshot in the attachment below RESOLVED: You should never call a parallel process from a skill. Have the skill call a common event that only contains the line "control switch morhed = ON".

Have the skill call a common event that only contains the line "control switch morhed = ON".

The parallel process NEEDs the OFF-line at the end to disable itself, or it will run indefinitely.
^This wasn't anywhere near intuitive to me (just a hint for the developers)
