My fireflies freeze when other characters talk

[FocusHillGames]

I've got fireflies in my game (they are not meant to be interacted with, they're just decorative), and I've created them as characters, and they are on their own walkable area.

I have this code in Repeatedly Execute -

Code: ags

function room_RepExec()
{
if (cFly3.Room == player.Room) {
   if (cFly3.Moving == false) {
     cFly3.WalkStraight(Random(Room.Width), Random(Room.Height));
  }
}
}

This works great, except when the player talks to another character, as the fireflies then stop moving.

It's not a massive problem, but ideally I'd like to fix it.

Leave this function blank and put this code in the

Code: ags

void repeatedly_execute_always()
{
  // Your code
}

Thanks!
Is it better to use "void" or "function" before it, in this scenario?

This is mostly irrelevant.
"function" is a traditional type of functions in AGS.
"void" is a way to explicitly tell that the function returns no result.
