I was wondering how I can make enemies that will try to attack and cause me damage, and not in RPG battles, I mean when exploring maps. So far my limit has been making things move, but I'm not sure how to make them inflict damage on contact.

As a forewarning, this is incredibly hard to do well in RPG Maker and can be done easily and more efficiently in other engines (Game Maker, for example) if you're willing to learn a bit of code.

Are you trying to create a tile-based combat system (like Rogue) or a freeform one (like a 2D Zelda)?

If your you rpg maker vx ace you could try this (don't know
if this will work):

Set the enemy or event to appoach you or random, etc...
Then just put in an event where you lose HP when the event
touches you.
You could also probably put in some animation or sound, etc...
You will probably need to program some effect that will
ensure that you can't be constantly damaged though, force
the enemy or player away...

I was thinking along the lines of a 2D Zelda.

Yeah I'll try messing around with more stuff.

If your using rpg maker there are scripts for real time fighting.
If you go to the rpg maker vx ace forum there will be a master
script list, but you never really indicated what engine your
using...
