I think you can make a tile into an event, no?

That way, you can erase the event (if you want them to be able to repick the cactus when they return to the map) or turn on a self switch... like this...

Just make sure your second page ( the page that the event switches to under the condition that self-switch 'A' is on ) has nothing on it if you don't want the player to pick the cactus again.

Thanks alot for the quick response, i did want the player to return to this map later on in the game so
i'll use the self-switch method, now i know what that does too  ;D
