Thanks a bunch for doing this.

You're welcome!

Seems like a good script to add mood to a creepy scene/area. Or affect the mood in other ways

Thanks.

This can actually act as a map count saving solution too(for maze/puzzle map), 1 map (unlimited hue of colour).

Have your transfer area set up with a counter variable, and have the player repeat the same map over and over again with different hue colour until the counter reached X. Then do a real transfer to next area. Pair that with a random dungeon generator and you can have 99 floors in just 1 map all different colour.

This might help with the lost woods portions of my game to let the player know there on the right track. Not just with eventing bushes, trees, ect...

Since this is hue, unlike tint, it can work in rainbow colour. So, yes, a complex map puzzle based on hue colour can be done.

And you can still use tint above the hue too, so do whatever chaos mess you like with the colours. Imaginations the limit!
