Enhanced Events v2.2
Introduction
This script adds in some new features for events, including extra conditions (such as script calls or requiring more than one actor to be in the party), moving like a boat, ship, or airship, and changed passability so that events set as Below Characters or Above Characters no longer block the movement of events set as Same as Characters, unless they include a certain tag in a Comments box. v2.0 adds in the ability to alter the effective size of an event for passability and activation as well as the ability to adjust the event's draw position.
Features
Usage
This script is controlled through tags placed in comments boxes on event pages as well as through the Conditions hash in the SES::EnhancedEvents module. Instructions for the hash are detailed in the module itself, while information about the tags is provided here.
Script
This script is available from SES VX Ace.
Installation
Place below Materials and the SES Core and above all other custom scripts.

Features
- Fixes event passability - events set to Same as Characters will no longer be blocked by events set to Below Characters or Above Characters.
- Allows you to specify alternate sizes for events - both rectangular and complex!
- Alternate passability settings for events - create boats!
- Events can generate sound effects whose volume is affected by their distance from the player - create waterfalls!
- Give event pages extra conditions! These can consist of *anything* that evaluates to true or false. See the Condition Suite addon for a large list of examples, and feel free to post questions!
Usage
This script is controlled through tags placed in comments boxes on event pages as well as through the Conditions hash in the SES::EnhancedEvents module. Instructions for the hash are detailed in the module itself, while information about the tags is provided here.
<Adjusted !XY!: !Val!>Place this in a comments box to adjust the position in which an event is drawn. You may have up to two of these per event, one for X and one for Y.
**Replacements:**
!XY! should be either X or Y, depending on what you want to adjust.
!Val! should be an integer value. If you're adjusting the X, negative values will move the image towards the left side of the screen and positive values will move it towards the right. If you're adjusting the Y, negative values will move the image towards the top of the screen and positive values will move it towards the bottom.
<!Dir! Size: !Val!>Place this in a Comments box to adjust the size of an event. This affects both passability related to the event and spaces in which it can be activated. This is particularly useful for things like doors that are two spaces wide. You can have up to four of these tags per event - one for each direction.
**Replacements:**
!Dir! with the direction whose size you wish to alter. Possible values are Left, L, Right, R, Up, U, Down, and D.
!Val! with the number of spaces to add in the specified direction.
<Occupies: [!X!, !Y!](, [!X!, !Y!], [!X!, !Y!],...)>Place this in a Comments box to specify spaces for an event to occupy. This affects both passability related to the event and spaces in which it can be activated. While the <Dir Size> tag is used to enlarge an event's rectangular size, the <Occupies> tag is used to allow events to have other shapes like triangles, circles, or octopi. Each [X, Y] pair placed in the tag will specify an offset - [1,1] would point to the space below and to the right of the event, while [-1,1] would point to the space below and to the left.
**Replacements:**
!X! should be the X offset for a given space. Negative values indicate spaces to the left of the event. Positive values indicate spaces to the right of the event.
!Y! should be the Y offset for a given space. Negative values indicate spaces above the event. Positive values indicate spaces below the event.
<Condition: !Cond!(, !Cond!, !Cond!,...)>Place this in a Comments box to give an event page extra conditions. You can include as many of these as you would like on a page, though as each tag can contain multiple conditions it seems unlikely that you will need more than one.
**Replacements:**
!Cond! with the name of the key in Conditions that you want to use as a condition.
<EventBlock>Place this in a Comments box to cause an event to prevent other events from passing them, regardless of their priority type.
**Replacements:**
None.
<MovementType: !Type!>Place this in a Comments box to change the movement type of the event page to that of a boat, ship, or airship.
**Replacements:**
!Type! with Boat, Ship, or Fly.
<Sound: !SE!, !MV!, !MD!>Place this in a Comments box to cause the event to produce a Sound Effect when the player is near.
**Replacements:**
!SE! with the name of the file in Audio/BGS (without the extension).
!MV! with the loudest the sound is allowed to be (max 100).
!MD! with the maximum distance that the player can be and still hear the sound (albeit faintly); this is also used to calculate how loud the sound is at various distances.
**Replacements:**
!XY! should be either X or Y, depending on what you want to adjust.
!Val! should be an integer value. If you're adjusting the X, negative values will move the image towards the left side of the screen and positive values will move it towards the right. If you're adjusting the Y, negative values will move the image towards the top of the screen and positive values will move it towards the bottom.
<!Dir! Size: !Val!>Place this in a Comments box to adjust the size of an event. This affects both passability related to the event and spaces in which it can be activated. This is particularly useful for things like doors that are two spaces wide. You can have up to four of these tags per event - one for each direction.
**Replacements:**
!Dir! with the direction whose size you wish to alter. Possible values are Left, L, Right, R, Up, U, Down, and D.
!Val! with the number of spaces to add in the specified direction.
<Occupies: [!X!, !Y!](, [!X!, !Y!], [!X!, !Y!],...)>Place this in a Comments box to specify spaces for an event to occupy. This affects both passability related to the event and spaces in which it can be activated. While the <Dir Size> tag is used to enlarge an event's rectangular size, the <Occupies> tag is used to allow events to have other shapes like triangles, circles, or octopi. Each [X, Y] pair placed in the tag will specify an offset - [1,1] would point to the space below and to the right of the event, while [-1,1] would point to the space below and to the left.
**Replacements:**
!X! should be the X offset for a given space. Negative values indicate spaces to the left of the event. Positive values indicate spaces to the right of the event.
!Y! should be the Y offset for a given space. Negative values indicate spaces above the event. Positive values indicate spaces below the event.
<Condition: !Cond!(, !Cond!, !Cond!,...)>Place this in a Comments box to give an event page extra conditions. You can include as many of these as you would like on a page, though as each tag can contain multiple conditions it seems unlikely that you will need more than one.
**Replacements:**
!Cond! with the name of the key in Conditions that you want to use as a condition.
<EventBlock>Place this in a Comments box to cause an event to prevent other events from passing them, regardless of their priority type.

None.
<MovementType: !Type!>Place this in a Comments box to change the movement type of the event page to that of a boat, ship, or airship.
**Replacements:**
!Type! with Boat, Ship, or Fly.
<Sound: !SE!, !MV!, !MD!>Place this in a Comments box to cause the event to produce a Sound Effect when the player is near.
**Replacements:**
!SE! with the name of the file in Audio/BGS (without the extension).
!MV! with the loudest the sound is allowed to be (max 100).

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
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.
