Is there any way to have character events on the field maps?

[gameguy2500]

I have tried a few things but, I'm assuming it is impossible. However, I have heard people say that they have worked around some of the limitations of the maker so, is there any way around not being able to put character events on the field maps?

Unfortunately you can't place an NPC on the world map, but you can make an invisible event with storytellers that simulate it. If you are creative you can get around the fact that the character isn't seen standing there. Maybe the character is hiding in the shadows? There are silhouettes in the storyteller that really help to pull this off.

I suggest you put an event that warps you to an empty town that would be similar to the field. The player talks to the NPC and it gets warped back! Be sure to put trees or stuff like that on the town.

There are always statues you can place that can represent people. And stone faces.

yes, being creative with this software is key. npcs are rather boring, a talking statue could be just what your game needs, or perhaps have a shadow itself speak to you? skies are the limit when it comes to game designing.
