In RM2k, telling an event to step left causes it to keep going left until it hits a barrier. Is there any way around this?

If you have repeat on then yes, but normal it should only take one step. It should normal stop or you could you know... use the stop command.

I have repeat set to off, but I noticed a few interesting things about the problem.

• 1)It only repeats the first step in the sequence. If I put in
  
  Step Left
  Step Up
  
  it would just keep on going left.
• Since I made the target event the Hero, the problem persists even when I teleport into other levels.
• Using Movement Type 'By its route' for NPCS works though.

Are you holding down the left arrow?

Ha ha ha! I had this problem.
If you have a game pad, or a joy stick disconect it.
What's happening is if you have a joy stick then it's broken and tilts to the left. if you have a gamepad it's analog stick being pushed or you need to recalibrate it.

Is this question actually serious? It only keeps going left if tick the box marked: "Repeat Pattern" or whatver it's called.

Sling dude, didn't you read what he wrote. he said he set that off.

I had that same problem. I was trying to make one guy enter a house, followed by another guy, then a third guy. The first guy kept walking foward, opening the door, stepping inside (his sprite disappeared), then his invisible sprite kept opening the door, looping his motion. I used a switch to stop him from doing that. Then the other 2 guys kept repeating their steps. I used a couple more switches, and now it works fine.

Edit: I have a problem with the above situation. The layout:

-------------| | (door)

-----------1 2 3 (guys)
(the dashes are there because a bunch of spaces just diappear in the post)

I have guy 1 take a step up, open the door, and step inside (his sprite disappears). Guy 2 is supposed to take a step right, then 2 steps up into the house and disappear. Guy 3 is supposed to take a step left, then 2 steps up and disappear into the house. The problem: Guy 2 takes a step right, a step up, and disappears. Guy 3 takes a step right, faces up, and disappears. I have them all on different levels (below hero, same level as hero, and above hero), so they should be able to overlap, but apparently they can't. I DO have the event overlap box below their position checked. What am I doing wrong?

Can anyone help me with my problem? (I posted again because I'm not sure if editing a post marks the orange "new" paper thing next to the post, and I wanted it to be noticed).

Just use Teleport Event to place them somewhere else after they've dissappeared. This should work just fine.

OK, I'll try that. Thanks.
