They control the object's sprite appearance as well as how it interacts with the map. For example, objects with `SPRITEMOVEDATA_WALK_UP_DOWN` appear as a 16x16 pixel sprite that walks up and down within a certain radius; while objects with `SPRITEMOVEDATA_BIGDOLL` appear as a 32x32 pixel sprite that does not move. +Map objects are defined by `object_event`s in map event scripts, and their assigned `SPRITEMOVEDATA_*` constants define their movement behavior. This controls how the objects' sprite appears, how it moves, and how it interacts with the player. For example, objects with `SPRITEMOVEDATA_WALK_UP_DOWN` appear as a 16x16 pixel sprite that walks up and down within a certain radius; while objects with `SPRITEMOVEDATA_BIGDOLL` appear as a 32x32 pixel sprite that does not move. + +(Map objects are *not* the same as sprites. A sprite is an 8x8 pixel entity, of which you can have 40 on-screen at a time. Map objects are composed of sprites—a 16x16 pixel object consists of four sprites, for instance—but sprites are used throughout the game, not just in the overworld map engine.) ## Contents |
