[RMVXAce] Cell bars "☆ Icon" and "X icon"

[dahilig007]

Software: RPG Maker VX Ace

I was making an RPG, when suddenly I encountered a problem involving ☆ and X icons (Passable tileset).

I was wondering when you go near a cell bar.. from outside the bars you should look like this right?

Screenshot from outside the bars(behind):

Spoiler

I used star so it will look like the player is looking inside the cell bars

It was fine.. The player won't be able to enter the room since from below the bars there's an invisible block that well.. blocks entry from above itself.

Spoiler

But what happens when I go near the bars from the inside is like this..

Spoiler

Can someone give me a clue on how to get this thing right?
When I go near the bars from the outside it will look like im outside..
And when I go near the bars from the inside it will look like im inside..

Guys I appreciate every answer..
Thank you guys in advance ^_^

I think you should just settle for marking the bottom of the Cell bars with an X and the top with the Star. Since you're using sprites taller than the normal ones, you'll probably run into "Star" trouble a couple more times.

This script might help you.

Thanks for replying hiromu656,

yes probably I should be settled with it...

well just wondering how or is it even possible ^_^

This script might help you.

Thanks for the link EvilEagles,

Think this will really help me

it's talking about a scipt right?

I was really thinking the only way to achieve it is by using script ^_^ so thank you ^_^

there is a way simpler way to do this

 

[seita]

there's a character sheet specifically for this situation. Use !Other3 and return the star passabilities and such back to normal.

sorry for my noobish question but.. I can't seem to catch up..

what could "!Other3" be?

It's the name of the character sheet you can use to show those prison bars as characters. They'll work the way you want without having to mess with other stuff. The downside is you'll have to make an event for each bottom+top tile.

Make a new event and change the graphic, scroll through the character sheets. !Other3 is near the bottom, and you'll see the prison bar doors in there.

Ohhh~!!! thank you seita,

this helped alot~!

though there's a little problem dunno if i've done something wrong or is it really normal.

Spoiler

The player should be more nearer to the cell..

Well I tried putting an event below the "Cell" making it Same as character..

but The problem is when im inside the cell bars I won't be able to step on the event that i made >__<

Thanks again by the way for helping ^_^

That's just the limitation of the default game engine and scripts. You can do more if you install some scripts or go with what you first tried to do, but you'll still run into some problems. My advice is, go with what you have there and don't worry about the player not going all the way to the bottom of the cell, it'll cause less headaches and you can focus on the rest of the game~

Yes hahaha now come to think of it this made me headaches =))

You and hiromu656's advice is correct I'll take your advice 

Didn't notice Im over-editting my game from the start =))

(Though I still might run into this kind of stuff again so I'm still looking at EvilEagles link)

Even though my question wasn't solved Im thankful for you guys thanks for your advice ^_^

Thanks again ^_^

If you are happy then great!


Another possibility is to use this solution:

So you can walk all the way down on the tile.


But you would have to control the sprite's ability to pass through the bars, of course.

If you turn the bars into a characterset, and set it to same as character, this will solve all of your problems.
