'Passable under the tile' issues for tall sprites

[Cow_Children]

Hello! I usually make trees (and other small but tall things) so the bottom row is impassable (X) and the upper tiles are passable under tile (a star).

This works fine if my actors are only one square tall, but when I use larger actors (or other moving events), when they walk on the tile below the tree, their top gets cut off. Here's an illustration of this, where the upper traction-engine is a moving event, but its chimney is cut off by the tree, despite this not making visual sense:



Is there any way in RMMZ (or plugins) to get around this, so a traction-engine would be covered by the tree if it passed behind (on a row higher than thu trunk) but not cut off when the main tile of the traction-engine event is below the tree? (This happens with the very top of characters' hair even if they're just two squares tall, 96px)

If not, can anyone suggest a workaround other than making my sprites smaller or my entire tree impassable?

tl;dr help, I am so tall my head goes behind the tree I'm in front of.

I had the same problem which has been completely solved with Tonbi's plugin

Great. I have the same pro lem but in MV. I'm just gonna try if this plugin work, although I doubt it.

Tonbi also wrote a similar plugin for MV.

Thanks. I had some trouble setting it up, because the help file is of no use and any video I could find was in japanese, but I finally understood from the forum post that I need to make it not-passable from the south... And then the game crashed.

For anyone who read this in the future with the same issue: If you use yanfly plugins, put this plugin ABOVE the yanfly ones, then it won't crash.

Edit: Never mind... It still crashes.
