[resolved] events that show tilesets

[Bob423 52]

ok, so i have some events that show parts of the tileset, so that it looks like a wall. but for some reason, i can walk right over it. i checked all the passability stuff, and everything looks fine. its so weird

that wall is made completely of events

shouldnt events that show graphics of any kind be impassible unless you check the "through" box? that just makes sense, doesnt it?

 

in case it changes anything, im using blizz-abs

Events that show tiles from tilesets are special - they are passable if said tile is passable as well. If it is configured as impassable, though, there shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't be surprised if that ABS would have somthing to do with that, but the best way to know for sure is to test in a dummy project with the exact same tileset and without the script.

[Bob423 52]

yea, its the abs, thanks anyway, i'll go ask elsewhere

[Jon Bon 43]

So the problem is being cause by your abs system? Is this a known bug with the system?

 

Maybe try getting a fresh version of the abs, possibly it's demo if any, recreate the scenario and see if it has the same issue. This will tell you if the script itself causes the problem, or if it is something that is changed in the one you are using, or some other conflict. If the issue is present in a fresh, unmodified demo version of the script, then it is for sure the script.

I learned this one the hard way myself a couple of weeks ago. If a Tile Event is set to Through, the Tile it covers is not considered, player is allowed passability, if I remember correctly.

 

The way I fix that is to Not use Through on the Event Flag. You could also consider taking one of the non textured tiles (the invis ones), edit them in Database / Tilesets and turn their Passability bits to Off. Or not bother changing the tileset in the database, but use an Event Tile that is not normally passable, even if it looks off, then make its opacity 0 so it is invisible, but still functions the same way. Opacity doesnt have any affect on Passability. Bunch of ways to fix that.

that doesnt help, i tried the exact same map without blizz-abs, and it worked perfectly. but its ok, i posted a reply to the official blizz-abs topic explaining my problem. i hope someone can fix this. thanks anyway

[Bob423 52]

i figured it out :D it was the abs. "LiTTleDRAgo" on chaos project gave me a script fix for it.

[Jon Bon 43]

Awesome, congrats! Do you think you could post it here, and add (resolved) to thread name? That way if anyone stumbles across this and has the same problem they can easily have it solved too.

mmk

but first its important to know exactly what this script does. it makes it so ALL events, are impassable unless the "through" box is checked.

i want it to only do that for events that have graphics, so im still waiting for help on the other forum.

edit: LiTTleDRAgo made a new script that fixes this

   # impassable if standing on impassable tile
   return false unless $game_map.self_passable?(x, y, d, self)

   end

   return true
 end
end

 

 

again, this script is made for blizz-abs
