How to make a tileset "transparent" in game?

[acriimony]

I just finished making my custom tileset but there's one problem.. when I place it over an object it just replaces it. For example, if I place a lamp in front of a window that's also larger than the lamp the window disappears. I was wondering if there's a way to fix this so that the 'lamp' (as an example) doesn't replace the object behind it.

(It doesn't replace walls, if that helps, and I have it under Inside > D.

You only get one layer for all objects on tiles B-E. So, you either have to use an event as an extra layer, or re-position your tiles a little.

Thanks so much, I got it to work.

EDIT: Why do Graphics A1-A5 not show up in the selection menu?

Because the A-Slots are for autotile-Formats, and those tiles are formatted differently than the tiles for B to E slots.
The regular autotile has 64x96 pixels, but is displayed in the editor as a single 32x32 pixel tile.


Effectively Ace has six different tilesheet formats - each of the tilesheets for A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 has a different format (and often a different size) than the tilesheets used for B to E slots.


Check the help file or export the A-sheets from the resource manager to see how they are created.

Okay, thanks.

I guess that makes this solved.
