Events transform items...

In my game there are events where you pres the action button and a short description is given. (EG standing next to a lantern and the text reads "An old lantern.")

But during that event, the lantern shape-shifts into an oil lamp! Fire torches turn blue or green depending on which way the player is standing! A giant statue that chases the player turns into a griffon! Oh, woe is me... I'll be the laughingstock of the entire contest if I can't fix these seemingly silly little errors!

Does anyone have a clue what might be going on?

EDIT: To better explain what I've got going on... here's a video explaining what's going on... T_T

Check 'Direction Fix ' box. Stops it turning into the next graphic.

Sounds like you forgot to check "Direction Fix" in the options on those events.

set the direction fix on the event.


Events always turn to the player when they are accessed - this is for NPCs to fact the player when talking.


If you're using a sprite that has no directions but instead uses four different pictures for grafic convenience, you need to check the direction fix checkbox to prevent the event from turning.

Oh.

Heh heh... Well.... 

You can go ahead and let me drown now. :D

Looks like I already am a laughingstock of something now...

Not a laughingstock, just needed a little info is all. Sometimes the simplest things are the easiest to overlook.
