How to make something like Telekinesis?

Well, I need to make something like Telekinesis to move objects in the map so you can use a box to push a button without being there, just using telekinesis to move it.
I don't need all objects moving freely through the map, just moving them in especific moments just to make puzzles or similar.

Well, what you could do, you could provide the illusion of telekinesis by changing the character's image to said box and move to the part of the map where the box is. the player can then just move it around willy nilly as if the character is using telekenesis. when the box goes where it needs to go, revert back to the previous character image and back to the previous spot on the map. and then have an event where the box would be to update that tile to look like a box. when the character goes back to that spot, it seems as if the box was moved. you could do it other ways, but simply switching locations, character images, and tile images would be how i would do it.

Does the player make the objects move or is it a cutscene?
Nope, is not a cutscene, the player has control over it.

And this is a great idea! Thank's, i'll try that!

Also, i've seen a plugin that lets the character put up some objects (https://atelierrgss.wordpress.com/rmv-pick-up-and-throw/) so I thought maybe there's a way to do the same thing but with tekekinesis
