Object won't move SOLVED

Hi, I'm new to ags, but I've read all the tutorials and beginner FAQ etc. However, I'm stuck on this seemingly simple thing. When my character interacts with a hotspot (a tree) he goes over and shakes it. After that an acorn (visible object) is supposed to fall out of the tree, so I put Interact Hotspot, move character, quick animation, yata yata, and then I put object, move object with the specific coordinates with speed set to 3. The problem is that when I interact the tree the acorn wont fall. I tried putting in the exact script command, but then the "watch" icon kept running after I shook the tree like it was waiting for the acorn to fall, but it still wont move.

This is probably just a simple thing that I'm overlooking, but any help is appreciated. ThanksÃ,

Have you got a walkable area for the acorn to 'fall' along? Unless you use scripting and the eAnywhere parameter, you need a walkable area for the object to move.
Also, it sounds like you're using the 'Wait for move to finish' / eBlock option - since the acorn can't move, that's why it freezes in Wait mode (the 'watch' cursor).
I know what you're thinking ... Don't think that.

Thank you so much, yes this was my problem. I added eAnywhere to the script and it works now.

Thanks again!  :)
