Hey Panic team! 6AT0 here! I'm currently working on my pulp game "Beyond The Sea" And in the middle of working on certain assets, I have this bug that popped up in which creating sprites turns them into walls automatically. And then soon after, I had another bug I encountered where I wasn't able to delete assets I had created that I wasn't pleased with and/or didn't have any use for. I've restarted my computer and refreshed pulp to see if that would do the trick. I've troubleshooted the situation with Neven a little and was able to fix the deleting sprite/asset problem but the auto turning any sprite into walls issue still persists. Any ideas as to what I should do?
This doesn’t sound like a bug. Sprite tiles are always solid. If you need a scriptable non-solid tile you need to use an Item tile.

Ooooooo gotcha! I guess that makes more sense. I suppose I'm so used to the World tiles I figured that the same logic applied across the board.
It’s not super obvious why but but the reason for the distinction is in the default behaviors of Sprites and Items: you talk with Sprites by bumping into them (so they need to be solid) and collect Items by walking over them (so they need to be non-solid).
Thinking about it, that certainly makes sense in context now that you've mentioned it. Is there a way to make a object interactive? (ie Press A to activate or enable dialogue?)
I imagine that would coded, correct?
Scripting isn’t necessary for that. Just enter some text in the Says textarea in the tile’s Behavior palette. If you want to require pressing A (instead of just bumping against the tile) then, yes, scripting is required. Checkout config.autoAct in the PulpScript docs for info about that.
Gotcha gotcha! I'll give it a read!
