 +**Navigation and interaction** are concepts in RPG in a Box relating to the way the [[player character]] (and in some cases, [[npc|NPCs]]) can walk around the [[map]] and interact with [[object|objects]] and other [[character|characters]]. When the player character is standing on a particular [[tile]], they can potentially walk to the [[tile|tiles]] in each cardinal direction (north, south, west, and east) from that [[tile]], or interact with [[object|objects]] and [[character|characters]] on those [[tile|tiles]].
 +
 +There are several different "navigation types" that determine whether or not the [[character]] is able to perform any of the above mentioned actions between two adjacent [[tile|tiles]].
 +
 +^Navigation Type^Description^
 +|**WALK_AND_INTERACT**|Characters can both walk and interact between the tiles.|
 +|**WALK_ONLY**|Characters can only walk between the tiles (no interaction is allowed).|
 +|**INTERACT_ONLY**|Characters can only interact between the tiles (no walking is allowed).|
 +|**PENDING**|Characters cannot walk or interact between the tiles, but a connection is maintained.|
 +|**NONE**|Characters cannot walk or interact between the tiles.|
 +
 +A map's navigation paths can be modified using the [[Map Editor]]'s "Connect" mode. Changes can also be made at game runtime via scripting (see [[Modify Navigation]] and [[Replace Navigation]]).

 +In the [[Map Editor]], these navigation and interaction "connections" are visibly portrayed as colored grid lines, with each color representing a different navigation type. The navigation legend displays the color that corresponds to each type. If desired, the grid line colors can be customized from the [[Map Editor]] section of the [[Editor Settings]] dialog.
