[Mini-Guide] How to make an EarthBound Object Check/Giftbox Pickup System!

This is how to make a system where you can “check” objects with Enter, similar to Undertale or EarthBound (MOTHER 2)!
EDIT: I honestly don’t care if you use this, and you do NOT have to credit. Feel free to do whatever!

Items Required

Both:

1x Button
whatever you want to interact with

Check:

1x Popup (PREFERRED) OR 1x Dialogue (ST EXCLUSIVE)

Item Grant:

1x Item Granter

Other:

Whatever you want to do, I guess

Steps
  1. Put the button down and switch “Visible In-Game” to “No”.
  2. Make the Button’s “Button Message” to something along the lines of “Check”.
  3. Add in your wire-powered visual device(s) of choice and wire them up.
  4. Overlay the button under the Prop you’re planning to have Checked.

Test your map to make sure this works.
It should look like this if you used the Dialogue device…

Effects


You can also do some rather complicated things… (Dialogue Device; Dialogue Device + Item Granter Device)

I apologize if this might be really simple, but I thought it looked kind of sleek for some maps. I hope it helps some people!

You could also do this with overlays(what am i saying i meant popups dont eat me) if you don’t have the season ticket.
“good guide”

I think that may have been what the popups were for. You could use the Banner style for that, if you so need!

this is a great guide! I remember when I was trying to make an earthbound (mother 2) game in gimkit. I only got the onnet arcade and the sharks made along with frankenstein mark 2 in the back. I might use this in my map so thanks!

fact mother 3 was never released in America nor was mother 1. mother 2 was only referred to as earthbound as it was the only game in the series that was actually released in America. so it’s mother 1, earthbound (aka mother 2) and mother 3.

What about earthbound beginnings?

Mother 1 is EarthBound Beginnings. Please don’t make this a chatroom lol

Mother 1: EB Beginnings.
Mother 2: EB (Original).
Mother 3: Not released in the US.

Not trying to

that’s what I meant

Incorrect, it was released on the Wii U virtual console, anyways back at the topic at hand, this is quite a unique guide, i have no idea how no one thought of this before lol. unfortunately I cant follow it due to it using a ST exclusive. (I’m broke :pensive_face: /j)

You can just use a Popup (Banner). I should probably mention this…
Edit: Guide edited to reflect this.
