Check out this example:

Also, take a look at EasyStar plugin (C3 link in comments):

construct.net/en/forum/extending-construct-2/addons-29/behavior-easystar-js-96215
It's better suited for tilemaps and turn-based games than the official Pathfinding behavior.

If you want a realistic looking chain, you'll need Physics. Or you can try Pin to actually restrict the movement of the character, and Physics behavior only to animate the chain.

Actually, you probably need to include "not checked" for all other checkboxes that don't need to be checked. So your event may look like this:

Yeah, you can add a bunch of events like "Keyboard is 'D' key down -> Player simulate moving right". If you have Default Controls=Yes on the behavior, then you will be able to control the player with both WASD and arrow keys.

Btw would you happen to know how I could set it so it only travels a certain distance along the path like maybe I could set a distance of only 5 or 6 tiles?

I can't think of an easy way to do this.. You can calculate traveled distance on every tick and when its close to 5 tiles, stop at the nearest tile center.

Or you can try Tile Movement instead of MoveTo - move 1 tile at a time to the next Pathfinding waypoint. After 5 tiles stop.

From the documentation link above, it does specify this in the 'Mobile Browser' plugin which is part of the collection.

As I understand, LaurenceBedford wants to exit the application to Android home screen.

I think there is a different plugin for that - "Mobile Background". It has an action "Go Background" - "If on Android, call to move the application to the background."

It doesn't matter how you run Construct 3, addons are installed the same way.

I think this is possible with one of the addons from chadorireborn's collection:

"wait for previous action to complete" is only needed if you want to start moving the sprite in the same event. You can still use "On path found" event.

There are a few other important changes I made in your project - reduced character collision polygon, changed origin point position.

Is it possible to project the path it's going to travel

Yes, check out this demo:

Why don't you use Tiled Background?
