What is a Movement Route?

A movement route determines how a player or event will move. This is set if [Custom] is selected in the event's [Autonomous Movement] settings, as well as when using [Set Movement Route]. Either setting will be carried out in the [Set Movement Route] window. Routes can be edited when used with [Movement Commands] that control the movement, direction, etc. of the player. For example, entering [Move Right], [Move Down], [Move Left], then [Move Up] movement commands will cause the target to move in a clockwise loop from their current location.
