SO WHAT DOES FORBID EVENT OVERLAP MEAN...

...on the Event screen? The Help File seems to be completely silent on this one.
I think its about not letting events occupy the same square (or moving one over the other). If one event has 'Forbit Event Overlap', other events will treat it like a brick wall.

Yep. It's nice for when you have some NPCs moving around randomly, you can just put some forbid event overlap events on the ground, and while you can freely move around, the NPCs will be blocked from going around that area. You could also find some other uses for it. But basically, yeah, blocks events from moving onto that space.

I should make use of this. I hate it when NPCs block doors and such.
Wait so could you tick it on a Below Hero Object so you can walk over it but NPCs can't? I had often wondered what that was, but yeah my helpfile didn't help either.

EDIT: Why the hell don't I just test this myself...stupid.
