Introduction
The tileset database in RPG Maker MV contains a flag that allows a tile to be marked as a "ladder". Any character (player, follower, or event) which moves on this tile will have a fixed direction of "up", to make the ladder movement appear more realistic.
Even if an event uses the tileset graphic that is marked as a "Ladder", the character's direction will not be fixed to "up". This is a simple plugin which allows events to be treated as a ladder.
New v2.0: This plugin also allows events to have the properties of a "Counter".
Any event with a graphic set to a tileset tile that is marked with the "Counter" property or has a notetag of <counter> is treated as a counter.
"Counter" allows interaction with other events from 1 space away.
(Example: Speak to a shop owner standing behind a table)
Ladder created from the tileset will cause the player to always face up.
The lower ladder is made of events which are activated by the switch.
These screenshots are with the plugin installed.
Practical Usage
A ladder may 'appear' by solving a puzzle or triggering a switch. In this case, the ladder is composed of events that are activated by a switch. With this plugin, this ladder will operate the same as a ladder created from the tileset.
How to use
Use a notetag of this format on any event that is to be treated as a ladder.
Code:
<ladder>
New v2.0: Use a notetag of this format on any event that is to be treated as a counter.
Code:
<counter>Credit

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!
