Useable Objects

Useable objects / activated knicknacks generally have additional animations or sound effects that can be trigered by the user. You should ensure that the image used has a “run” chore and, for types 1 and 2, a “stop” chore. If you use an inappropriate image, you run the risk of hanging the client when used, as it tries to wait for the animation to complete.

These have additional options accessible from the Fiddle>Modify Object menu.
