Boat Turns but Doesn't Move

[devonair320]

As said, my ship turns but doesn't move no matter what. I'm using the Dungeon tileset, and I'm using the first tile in A1. I've tried the second tile, and I've tried both the boat and the ship, and neither work. Both seem to be able to turn though, just not move. I've changed both tiles that I've tried to the passable "O", but nothing is working. I'm not sure what the issue is :/ Thanks for any help!

Are you using the boat vehicle, or did you just give an event the boat sprite?


If you can turn but not move, that's a passability setting.


Check the top left tile in tab B and make sure it's passability is set to a star.

Thanks for the quick response! I've tried using both the actual boat vehicle, and using the different ship vehicle but changing the sprite to the rowboat. I just checked the tile on B and it is set to star.

Boat and ship do not move by regular passability, you can read more about it in the help file.


In this case however I assume it's your setting to passable that blocks this, because the boat can only move in shallow water that is IMpassable to the (land) player.


Just think about it this way: if shallow water is shallow enough to allow the player to walk on it, it is too shallow to allow a boat to pass through it.

Are you using any custom scripts or have you made any script mods?


Can you double-check the tileset that's being used on the map? Make sure you don't have two similar tilesets where one is set incorrectly.


Any chance you have a "blank" tile in the B-E slots set to X for passability, that you might have used to "erase" tiles you didn't want on the map?


Apart from


- must use an actual vehicle (right-click, choose Set Vehicle Location)


- top left tile in B is a star


that's about all I can think of.

Hmm I'm not using any custom scripts or mods. I did add a tile that wasn't in the original set, but I've sort of "painted" over that one with the ones from A1, so it shouldn't be an issue, right? I can check again for the passability of that stuff, or just go ahead and use invisible tiles to set a clean slate there and see if that helps, though I don't think that's the issue. Otherwise, I haven't really used any blank tiles to erase anything previously.

Ah, I see what you're saying, Andar! I'll also try switching the passability back to impassible and see if that works.

Ahhh it worked!! I think it was the passibility thing, Andar! Thank you both so much! I really appreciate the help My problem is solved!
