A move route is what determines how to move a player or event. You set a move route when you specify Custom under the Autonomous Movement setting for an event or use the Set Move Route event command.
In either case, you set the route in the Move Route dialog box. Routes are created/edited by combining movement commands that control such things as the player/event's movement and direction. For example, if you enter the move commands Move Right, Move Down, Move Left, and Move Up in that order, the player/event will move in a clockwise lap.
Available Settings
Target Character
Select the target actor/event. Specify this only when setting the Set Move Route event command.
Command List
A list of movement commands that have been added. Add movement commands in order according to the route you want to set.
Selecting a list item by clicking it specifies the position for adding the command clicked on the command list. In the shortcut menu that appears when you right-click an item, you can perform such operations as copying and editing settings.
Movement Commands
A command group for controlling the character (player/event) movement and direction.
Clicking a button adds (inserts) the corresponding command at the currently selected position on the command list. The commands are described below. Note that one step is equal to moving one tile.
Move Down/Move Left/Move Right/Move Up/Move Lower Left/Move Lower
Right/Move Upper Left/Move Upper Right
Moves the player/event one step in the direction indicated by the command name.
Move At Random
Moves the player/event one step up, down, left, or right, as selected at random.

1 Step Forward
Moves the player/event one step forward in the current direction.
1 Step Backward

Jump
Moves the player/event by jumping. Specify the distance to jump in X and Y (-100 to 100, with positive values indicating right/down). Obstacles will be passed through when
jumping. Note that when a party for which the Player Followers setting is On is moved by jumping, the second and subsequent members will stay where they are.
