Set Hero Speed causing script to crash

I have a simple "powerup" thingy in my script and everything works fine with it until I add "set hero speed" to it. I'm not sure why either:



I'm guessing it has to do with some other part of the code, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for at this point. Any help would be much appreciated.

What error are you getting?

The indentation on lines 2 and 3 leads me to believe there was supposed to be a ) after line 3, but that might just be your formatting.

Yeah, the formatting is all messed up right now. I've made a lot of changes to the code recently and have not kept up with the format, so it does look a bit odd.

Basically, when that part is triggered in-game, the hero just runs in place and your controls are frozen. You basically have to exit out of the game manually.

Is the hero already in motion when this segment of code is activated? I see a waitforhero, but no walkhero.

Yes, if you change walking speed in the middle of a move, your hero (or NPC) can become misaligned with the tiles, and will get stuck.

If you move the "wait for hero" right before the "set hero speed" then he will finish his previous step, and change speeds while aligned, so he will not get stuck.

That fixed it. Thank you, sirs
