Change a single tile

[NikoPalad]

Hey guys!
I want to test out a system that changes a single tile on the map with an event. By tile changing, I mean changing a tile into another tile from the same tileset (for example when unlocking parts of a map that were previously blocked). How can I do that?

Typically you'd use an event for that, e.g. 2 pages:

1. No condition, event blocks player.
2. Condition Switch X is ON, event does not block player.

Otherwise, I think your options are limited to one of the following:

• Have two nearly-identical tilesets then use the Change Tileset command; or
• Find a plugin that lets you switch tiles out independently of their tileset.

Condition Switch X is ON, event does not block player.

Not blocking the player? With what event command?

Either this :


Or by setting priority to "above" or "below" characters

Alternatively you can give the event Priority: Below characters or Above characters.

Or you can use a tile image (sheet B~E) and the event will use that tile's passability.

Should also work for MZ

No command. You're not wanting the event to do anything, you just want it for the tile image.

My understanding is that you want it so that you originally have an unpassable floor tile and then, after a particular thing happens, the floor tile is passable? If so, you don't need to change tiles. You can put an "invisible" event there that prevents the player from passing.

Page 1 has no image, and is set to trigger by Player Touch. I left the priority here Same as character as this will prevent the player from moving past it.

Page 2 is conditioned with a switch. You will need to turn on that switch in another event after whatever you want to happen happens to make the new area passable. But now the event is Below character so the player can pass over it. I put in a transfer on page 2, assuming it would take you to a new map. But if it's an area of the same map, you just leave the Contents area empty.

If you want the area blocked off by an object or an NPC, just use that as the image on Page 1.
