Could you be a little more specific? Is it a common event or map event? Do you want it to trigger when the player touches it or when the event touches the player?
What exactly is it you wish to accomplish?
A little more info on what you're trying to do would help anyone who is trying to help you.

I know whenever I ask for help people usually need more to go on than just a simple 'help me'.

If I sound brash, my apologies, I don't mean to. I'd like to help if I can, but I'll need a little more information.

Well of course it is a map event since there is no event touch trigger in common events.
Either way I don't get those to work either.

Since this isnt a script, and neither needs script support i have moved it to the general RPG Maker XP board.

On topic:

Can you post a screenshot of the event page for the one that doesnt work. Would be a good start

How exactly do you mean "doesn't work?"

When the event touches the player, does it not activate? Because, as right-clicking "Event Touch" will show you, that's what Event Touch is for-- it detects when the event touches the player, not when the event touches another event.

If you want to detect when an event touches another event, you'll need a more complicated method-- one involving Parallel Process events comparing the X and Y coordinates of different events.
