I actually feel kinda embarrassed asking about this, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

In part of my code, I have two npcs walking at the same time (one basically being in front of the other). I've basically tried coding it every way I can think of, and it always results in the same thing: one npc moving correctly and the other just "sitting" there. I'm basically using two walk npc commands one right after the other with no "waits". I'm pretty sure i've done this before, but it's not working for me now.

Maybe i'm wrong and there is a completely different way to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated!

Have you already set the speed of the nonmoving NPC?
Post your plotscript here.

Code:
fade screen in
wait for all
focus camera (8,9,2)
wait for camera
wait (250)
wait for all
walk npc (2,east,8)
wait for npc (2)
walk npc (2,south,6)
wait for npc (2)
set npc direction (2,right)
wait for npc (2)
wait (15)
set npc direction (2,left)
wait for npc (2)
wait (15)
set npc direction (2,right)
wait for npc (2)
wait (15)
set npc direction (2,left)
wait for npc (2)
wait (15)
set npc direction (2,south)
wait for npc (2)
wait (15)
walk npc (2,south,3)
wait for npc (2)
wait (15)
alter npc (2,NPCStat:picture,20)
wait (30)
[b]walk npc (2,north,9)
walk npc (1,north,9)[/b]
wait for all
fade screen out


The bolded section is where the problem starts. Basically, what this part of the script does is move the camera up to a specific location. When that is done, it moves npc #2 down around npc #1. After that, BOTH npcs are supposed to walk up at the same time, however, npc #2 just sits there and npc #1 walks up alone. I've tried it several different ways, but none have worked thus far. Yes, both npcs have a set speed of 2.

Hope this helps, cause I still can't figure it out Oookay...

EDIT: The code that has the bolded TAGS is where the problem is....guess you can't bold code Raspberry!

How are they positioned relatively to each other? If they are horizontal with each other, this should work fine as long as there are no accidental passibility mistakes on the wallmap in custom. If they are vertical with each other, I'm pretty sure you MUST have the northmost NPC move first, have a wait(1) command, and then have the second NPC start walking. Otherwise they will try to walk at the exact same time and the southmost NPC will hit the northmost NPC and stop.

Alternatively, if no other NPCs are doing anything at the moment, you could use a suspend obstruction command and just leave the commands as they are currently, I believe.

The one tick wait worked!! I guess for some reason I assumed that them hitting each other wasn't the problem since one npc was moving in and out of the other npc just fine. It's fixed now though, thanks Razz

Huh? The bottom npc walks through the top npc? Is obstruction suspended? Either way, smells like a bug.
