Let us suppose we are concerned with the default event triggering system, where only players can trigger events.
Suppose you have a small, 17x13 map with 20 events, each with custom event ranges. Some of them have linear line of sight, while others have circular, triangular, or various shapes.
Whenever the player is in sight, the event that sees it will activate.
Now, both the player and the events can move around, so everytime someone makes a move, checks will need to be made.
When an event moves, only that event needs to check whether the player is in sight.
However, when the player moves, all events may potentially need to perform checks.
1. Assuming we have an efficient way to determine whether the player is within an event's range, what are some ways to avoid having to update every single event?
2. Furthermore, can the solution above be generalized to a system where any event can potentially trigger any other events?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
