How can I have a player pick up gold? I assumed that I would just make a item that would add a certain amount of gold to the players total amount of money but it looks like items can only be purchased in a shop and you can't just pick them up off the ground.
Thanks.

------------------

Just create an event and use the Item Launch action and figure out the coordinates where you want the gold to appear. On the left-hand side at the bottom of the screen, you can specify a certain number of gold pieces.

Use the plug-in load calls to load the event when you enter a map.

You can also place items using the map editor. Click the "items" radio button and select your item from the window. Then use the pencil tool to place it.
