Trouble with treasure!

[Nosyla]

So I just bought my first RPG Maker and am absolutely loving it. I've figured some out on my own and a lot with help. I'm trying to create something as simple as a treasure chest you can open and receive items. I've watched several tutorials for this version and have all the steps and everything done right, but when I go into play test the game the event/chest doesn't even appear in the world!! I can't seem to figure out what I'm missing through what I can find. Can someone please help me figure out what I'm missing?!

I've moved this thread to RPGMaker 2003 Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

please post a picture of the event you made for your treasure chest so we can possibly see what's wrong.

What about page 1?
Most likely there's a switch or something attached to it that's preventing it from loading in.

Edit: Oops sorry the page one screen wasn't loading for me.

Let me see if I understand well what you said. The event don't appear in the map? Or it appears and the chest is already opened?

If that's the second case: Check if you aren't using the Switch 0001: Chest on any other event.

Now, for the first case: It's really weird. I have no idea of what is happening.

Echoing CleanWater, if the event isn't loading at all something very strange is going on.
Because from what I see of your setup, that should work fine.

If it's the second page turning up you can hit F9 durring testplay to bring up a list of switches and variables and see if the that switch is flipping before it should for some reason.

I'd also suggest making another project to test it out and seeing if you're getting the same issue.
if it's like that in a second project too that would suggest that there's a problem with rm2k3 itself and you may want to try reinstalling.
