CT Click Trigger — Remote NPC & Event Interaction for RPG Maker MZ
CT Click Trigger is an RPG Maker MZ plugin that lets players click or tap NPCs and map events to interact from a distance. Use Unlimited mode for immediate activation anywhere on the current map, or Limited mode to set a tile-based range and have the player automatically approach before the event starts.
Features
- Mouse and touch interaction: Click or tap a marked event directly.
- Unlimited range: Start an event immediately, even when the player is far away.
- Limited range: Choose an interaction distance in tiles (default: 3).
- Automatic approach: Clicking beyond the limited range makes the player walk to a reachable tile within range, then activates the event.
- Obstacle-aware movement: Pathfinding follows passable four-direction routes; unreachable events do not activate.
- Per-page configuration: Add the Click Trigger command to an event's active page; each page can have its own range.
- Standard event behavior: Existing event commands, conditions, switches and triggers remain under RPG Maker MZ control.
- Directional interaction integration: Works alongside Cynthia Tools' CT Event Side Interaction plugin.
Setup
- Install and enable CT Click Trigger in RPG Maker MZ's Plugin Manager.
- Open an NPC or map event and add the Click Trigger plugin command to its active event page.
- Select Unlimited or Limited. For Limited, enter the interaction range in tiles.
- Playtest and click or tap the event. In Limited mode, clicking from outside range starts an automatic approach.
The plugin command is a page marker: it does not need to execute first. Ordinary map clicks still handle movement when no Click Trigger event is selected.
Important behavior
- Limited range uses RPG Maker MZ tile distance, not line of sight.
- Player input or another click can cancel an automatic approach.
- Events cannot be remotely activated while another map event is running; unreachable targets do not start.
- The plugin is for RPG Maker MZ, not a claim of RPG Maker MV compatibility.
