Note: I could not replicate the following in regular DROD so I can only assume this as an RPG-specific bug. It also happens on the last stable version, so not related to skell's rendering changes.

If you start a room as Player Role None (because you were moved to another room during a cutscene as the player can only be this player role during a cutscene), if you restart the new room by pressing R, the player motion-tweens back to their starting spot instead of snapping to that position instantly.

See attached example hold. Once the cutscene ends, move a bit then press R.

Thanks, Kieran.

I'm running into a blocking bug before I can investigate this issue, it seems. When I import the attached hold, I'm getting an assertion failure beep that the NPC in the room has no script attached to it.

IIRC, this happened on another test hold I imported from you, where there was only a default script defined for a custom NPC. There may be a regression in 1.2.8. I'll investigate further. Stay tuned.

Yes...I believe that any exports you've been performing in 1.2.8 have been losing (i.e., not writing out) NPC parameters and scripts. I think this is a regression.

Edit: Yes, it is. I've created a separate topic to track that.

I'm putting up a new dev build that fixes this (2020-10-30). Would you please export your test hold for this topic again using the new dev build?

Here's the hold again, exported from the most recent alpha.

Thank you. Fixed!

Typically, a "wait" command is executed implicitly on room entrance, which gets the player situated properly. This wasn't happening when reverting from a Player Role None situation.

Turns out there's a little more going on with this bug.

The above fix works... if the player role is reverted back to the default role automatically when the cutscene ends.

However, if you change the player role to something else immediately upon entering the next room after the level transition, the tweening still happens.

See new example hold.

Thank you.

Seems there was a fix in 5.1 or earlier that didn't make it over to RPG.
