Title: wait until a character walks to a position before changing rooms.

I've tried this:
~~~
player.Walk(45, 270);
Wait(50);
player.ChangeRoom(5);

It works depending on the distance the player has to walk. Is there some way of waiting until he reaches the position?

Just set the character walking command to blocking, like:

Code Select

player.Walk(45, 270, eBlock);

If you don't want to block the game you can try my module:

Thanks, you guys. The block worked fine but I'll check out the modules if there is a problem.

Using a blocking walk will work fine in technical terms; allowing the player to abort the action that takes control away from them is just good game design.
