Interacting with objects

[Stefanos]

This should be an obvious one, so if one could give a rather detailed explanation of how to interact with, say, a stove or a picture, I am sure I can pick out of it the one piece I am somehow missing, because I expect to be able to do something like this rather easily. I already can create people on the field with whom to interact, so that is not a problem.

Those "people" are actually events. Events can be anything you want them to be.
Just use a stove/picture/etc graphic for the event, and do your eventing like you do for your people events.

Right now, I am trying to interact with a map on the wall. My character is facing it, I am pressing the action button, and nothing is happening! I made sure to choose the corresponding graphic for the same square on the map. What else is missing?

You have to have the event set to same as characters (since it is on a tile you cannot walk on), and it must be one tile away (no more).

Also remember that events run the highest numbered page that is valid, so if you set up an event to have more than one page, it could run page 2 when you mean it to run page 1.

There can be many things preventing it to start:

1. Priority setting must be set to "Same as Characters".
2. Through setting must be turned OFF (under the Options section at the lower left side).
3. Trigger setting must be set to "Action Button".

And there are other factors, but it would be easier if you could show us the event in question so that we can see all of your event settings.

Do these two screenshots help?

Put the event over the right half of the map. It can't be reached because of the table.

I mean to interact with the map from the front, not the back.

It might be the tile you put the map on. That tile is meant to never be walked on (as it is meant for the ceiling), so it could be blocking it from working. Try a different tile, like the greyish ones you used on the right side of the map, as those are meant to be for walls.

Now it works! Thank you!

Ahhh, sorry, without proper walls, your map is a bit confusing. I thought all of the grey was unwalkable tiles, and that the map was to be approached from the wooden floor.
