1. RMMV How to make the highlighted room dark and make it visible only when the player enters it?

    Hi! I want to make these two rooms connected so the player can see both at once, but the one on the left I wanted to make it dark, like the lights are off, and it would turn on only when the player steps into it. Are there any ways to do that?
