Strang problem with stairs [Solved]

[He-Man]

This might be too simple for this forum, but the forum rules says scripting help...

Anyway, In my game the EGO must go down a stair case in back of the room. I have a region just inside the opening where the stairs start. It has this script:

SetWalkBehindBase (2,300);
MoveCharacterDirect (EGO,200,168);
while (character [EGO].walking) AnimateCharacter (EGO,3,3,0);
Wait (40);
NewRoomEx (7,256,117);Ã, 

The walkbehind is located just where the floor stops. Now I want the EGO toÃ,  move down (behind the walkbehind) but keep animating like he's walking up.
The problem is that the EGO doesn't move. He just animate with out moving down.
Please help me out here...

I don't know if I totally understand the question, but if I do the way to sort it would be to create a new view using walking up sprites in the down loop (loop 0), and set EGO's view to that for this walk, e.g.:

SetWalkBehindBase (2,300);
SetCharacterView (EGO, 4); // where 4 is the 'reversed' view
MoveCharacterBlocking (EGO,200,168,1);
ReleaseCharacterView (EGO);
NewRoomEx (7,256,117); 

Does that make sense? Am I close to what you wanted? Hopefully it's some use, anyway.

Thanks a lot! That did the trick!
I don't why I didn't think of that before...
