Hello fellow RPG Makers,
First of all, sorry for my bad english and possibly wrong choice of forum. I'm new here.
My question is: Does anyone know how to trigger events without the player character actually touching the event? (Action button trigger)
Example:

I want to collect the blue dots while the player stays locked in position.
I have seen plugins for mouse cursor, but I'm making a game for android, so i don't rly want a cursor. (Mabye possible to leave cursor image blank? i don't know.)

Huge thanks in advance for any info on this topic!
