Moving to Ace Support. Next time, you can either report the post and ask us to move it, or just edit your post and ask us to move it, rather than double posting


You draw your wall first, and then use shift-mapping to do the water. This means holding down the shift key while you are drawing, so it doesn't draw in the edges.

Oh okay, I understand!!!


thanks you for instruct but I tried that and it's not working

Don't use the blue color, that's for admins only. As you're putting the tilesets hold shift. That's all there is to it.

I removed the blue text from your post. As EtphTheElephant already said, that is reserved for mod use only. Please read the forum rules, linked at the bottom right of every single page - you've made 4 posts and you've already broken them 3 times.


Do a search on the forums for shift click mapping. There are a number of threads that explain, in detail, how to do it.


To be honest, I don't like the way Ace does its autotiles - it tries to be clever and anticipate what you want to do, but most of the time it ends up just messing things up, making you spend even more time fixing it and doing it properly. I much prefer XP's mapping system.


Draw your water where you want it to be, AND draw water one tile inside/above that area (where you want the base and edges of the wall to be). Then on a different, blank area of the map, draw the wall. Now, hold down the shift key, and with your mouse, right click on one corner of the wall and drag the mouse to the opposite corner of the wall, so you've selected the whole wall while holding down the shift key. No go back to your water, and again holding down the shift key, click with the left mouse button to place the wall you've copied. Holding down the shift key tells Ace NOT to redraw the water or put edges in.

OK, here is another try to explain it to you, I hope we can get beyond the language barrier:

The A-Tiles in the editor are the so-called autotiles. That name is because they automatically try to select the tile to be drawn from a number of tiles with the same border, depending on where you draw them.

You're having problem with that because this automatic tile selection places a small border between the wall and the water tile, and to change that you need to disable that automatic function.

This disabling of the automatic is done by holding down the shift key while drawing the tile - but this also depends on when you hold down the shift key, because in reality there are four different drawing modes in this so-called shift-mapping, and it depends on whether you hold the shift key down while selecting which tile to draw, or while selecting where you want to draw that tile, or holding shift down in both cases (or in none like you've done so far).

It will take a bit of experience to learn when to hold shift and when not to hold shift to get what you want.

This is a tutorial specifically done on shift-click mapping:

http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/14387-shiftclick-mapping/

It's done with hill autotile instead of water autotiles, but the techniques are the same as both are autotiles

I hope that will help you better.
