I CAN'T SEEM TO PLACE BOATS/SHIPS/AIRSHIP

Stepping or clicking on the event works, whichever best suits the situation.

And to be fair in my bad tutorial I said you had to click on the rock(the rock being a placeholder for whatever you have to click/touch to get the boat)

But I'm assuming you got it to work?

It would be better to just walk along the ground so it shows up later than making an event, but you choose.
