CityShrimp's Cover Tiles

[cityshrimp]

CS_CoverTiles v1.0.2
CityShrimp
Introduction
Cover Tiles for RPG Maker MV. Based on Neon Black's Terrain Tags script for Ace VX. Allows setting specific tiles as "covers" where the tile is passable and also drawn above the character. Common use case is to allow events and characters to walk behind walls and roofs.

Free for commercial and non commercial use.

Features

1. Create cover tiles that are passable and drawn above events.
2. Create block tiles that are always impassable

Change Log
1.0.2

• Fixed bug where Tiles B-E do not show up when a tile is marked as a cover tile
• Added a "Pass" tile. Does not change the appearance of a tile, just allows players to pass through.

1.0.1

• Fixed bug where cover tiles are not in right layer after loading game.
• Added support for non-WebGl graphics (never tested!)

How to Use

• Download CS_CoverTiles.js
  
• Place it into your project's Plugin list
  
• Check description in file for latest Parameter

Notes and Limitations

• Weird stuff happens when you using mouse and character tries to run off screen. This causes the x, y coordinates to screw up and the covers won't work properly anymore.

@cityshrimp In the "How to Use", should it be "Download "CS_CoverTiles.js"?

@cityshrimp In the "How to Use", should it be "Download "CS_CoverTiles.js"?

LOL, just saw that

Oops, guess it's obvious what I used as a template to start this script
Fixed.

Edit: I just found this script: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/inde...ssages-plugin-v2-05-updated-2018-05-05.88047/
My script is basically the same thing but with less features. Wish I'd find that sooner... oh well.

Wow! excellent plugin!!!

 

[ThePreparator]

Thanks. It's easy to use and works great but it eliminates the shadow if you have shadow above your tiles or at least it did for me.

@ThePreparator Welcome to the forum! It's been a couple of years since the plugin's author was last seen here, so you may want to post a topic on the JS Plugin Support board if you're looking for help getting the shadows to work correctly with this plugin. Maybe someone else who has used this plugin can help you there.
