Objects in 'Things' category that can't be picked up?

Post by meadwarrior »

Hello!

So this might be a strange one:
Is it possible to make objects from the THINGS category that can't be picked up?

The reason is that, with the ability to place 'things' in all four corners of a tile, it's an easy way to make decorative stuff like pillars (that can be seen even if the party is standing on their tile, in contrast to floor flats that can't be seen standing on their tile).
The downside is, of course, that they can be picked up and thrown around, so I'm looking for a way to switch that off.

Thanks!

You can define a same_square image in the arch and you'll be able to see a floorflat or floorupright on the same square. For example, pits and doorframes.

What would be the name of the graphic right next to the same_square image?

--- EDIT: Found it, I think it's near_side :D
