Buildings question

[hittauru]

Hi, im new to RPG MAKER and im just wondering if it is possible to say have 4x4 blocks of grass in game but then allow the player to use gold they've earned in game to buy the land to then build a house on?

As well as being able to go into there house and being able to build it how they want inside? 

If that is possible is there a way so that income can be gained from owning house etc?

I look foward to hearing from your replies!

Thanks!

Possible, it is, but would require a LOT of work. and unless that's the game (a harvest moon / animal crossing fangame, perhaps?) I don't think it'd be worth it...

This feature would be one of the main features to the game, its going to be a trading/empire building game, although I don't know how to do it the buildings part, any help I would be very grateful for!

You need the sprites first.
I think you could try using variables and forks, each variable value a page, each possible setting a different variable value. of course, if you can set the sides without setting the other, multiple variables, one for each side, would be better.

I'm talking about the outside though, for the insides you'd need a map per configuration of the room (much easier if the rooms are on separate maps, so you only need to do it with the teleports between them)

Building the house wouldn't be a problem even if the player can decide between different styles. The problem would be if you want the player to decorate the inside how they like without fix positions for different furnitures.

Getting income depends on how you want the income to be counted. Daily income? Then you would have to create something to let the game know that a new day has begun.

All of that is possible, you'll just have to prepare for it with several switches, variables and scripts.
There are currently two scripts that can change the map to make the buildings appear. Tsukihime's Tileswap affects single tiles only and requires a bit of knowledge, so I would rather suggest Fomar's Region Map Loader

Then you need to provide the maps for the inside of the house, and specify by events when and how much gold the player should get from it. You might want to play the Variables Guide and read the basic tutorials if you aren't familiar with how to handle switches and variables. Follow the link in my signature to get there.
