Is there a way to allow walking "closer" to walls?

[Banjo]

I've suddenly become interested in shifting objects so they are "up against walls", leading to a much less blocky map design. It looks great when I tested it by editing the tilesets (shifted all cupboards, beds, etc. up 24px), and I even found a plugin that will do this without having to edit the tiles (Shaz' Terrain Tags).

However, it's all for nought if the player maintains a distance from the walls where there are *no* objects. I'm hoping there's a plugin or script somewhere that can be used to fix/bypass this... say, similar to TerrainTags but that will let a player walk on a "wall" up to a certain point if that tile is marked. I've tried both OC Ram's Passages and and OrangeRegionCollisions, but while both almost allow what I want, they don't stop the player short of the wall edge. Presumably, the issue is that RPG Maker MV only allows the player to move in single-tile "blocks"... so perhaps the answer is with changing player movement instead?

Where I want to be able to walk (but not on the actual wall or furniture):

Achieved the screenshot using Hudell's SuperOrangeMovement plugin, but it isn't a solution as it allows walking on the furniture too.

Hope that makes sense!

So if I'm reading this correctly, you want to get rid of tile-based movement, correct?

The QPlugins directory has this script which allows for non-tilebased movements. They require a master script though, so you also have to install that. Hope that helps.

this is not easy, because by default movement is grid-based. And simply shifting the sprite would need different shifts depending on direction and position, not easy.

you would need a combination of pixel movement and pixel collission to solve this problem - it is possible and there are several pixel movement plugins, but the pixel collision one would be critical - I think there was one try but I don't know what it was compatible with.

Yup, you read it right... sorry, I found it hard to explain what I wanted, but I was assuming I would be far from the first person who'd want this.

I tend not to be a fan of scripts that require "master" scripts unless it's something I want lots of their changes (i.e. a "core" is fine if I want to use multiple addon scripts, but I try to avoid them when it's just to tweak one thing) but I will check out the one you linked to. Thanks!

Thanks. I am currently messing about with a combination of SuperOrangeMovement (pixel movement divides each "tile" into four steps) and OrangeRegionCollisions (allows passing through walls) and it feels *almost there* for what I want. Not sure if that combo will do it, but a similar combination of two plugins seems like it will be the only way. The main problem is that from what I can tell, I need "pixel collisions" that work the same way as movement in SuperOrangeMovement, so I can block the player halfway through a tile rather than just at the edges. Any plugins that can do that?

[move]JS Plugin Requests[/move]

Thanks for moving it, but to be honest I wasn't asking as a plugin request specifically; I was asking "is this possible in any way?" I'm new to MV so don't know what others have done so far, meaning it could need a script made, there could be an existing one already made (so not a request, just a "where do I find it?" since searching here seems pretty unreliable) or could be totally non-script related, as in "you need to edit all your tilesets" or even "it can't be done, sorry!"

I'm quite happy to make this a formal "can someone make this as a plugin" request if anyone is willing and able, however!

"Where do I find a plugin to do X?" is one of the functions of Plugin Requests, it's not just for asking for a plugin to be written.

Triacontane has a half-tile movement plugin you can try.
