Single-Instance event that activates when the player hits a tile with a specific R type?

[TheFerydra]

Greetings. I'm experimenting with RPGMZ to make an RPG with more varied overworld mechanics, and I got one in mind that could be done with multiple instances of various events, but I feel that would bloat the game. So I wanted to know if, using the "R" tiles that are used for enemy encounters could be used as well? For example, if I have a puzzle where the characters have to jump between some platforms, all "1" tiles let them jump 2 spaces in any direction, but if they land in a "2" tile (Which would be for the, let's say, river the platforms are on), they would automatically be transported back to tile "3" where the puzzle started.
So I can use R tiles to do something like that? Or are they limited to just customize enemy encounters?

no, they can do much more.
R stands for Region ID by the way.

and the command you're looking for is "get location info", that one can check several data on any coordinate, including returning the number of the region ID

As Andar says, they can be used for more than that. Highly suggest you make this:

◆Control Variables：#000# Player X = Map X of Player
◆Control Variables：#000# Player Y = Map Y of Player
◆Control Variables：#0# mapid = Map ID
◆Get Location Info：Region ID, Region ID, ({Player X},{Player Y})

A common event. If you have that as a regionid commonevent you can have a parallel event on your map check for player position and what region they're on and trigger events accordingly. You can make an eventID checking event as well.

I watched and recreated this tutorial many months ago and this was pretty good. It shows how to use Region IDs for an invisible path puzzle. Not exactly what you are planning, but the concept is similar.

I hope this helps.

You could accomplish it with as simple script command, where `yourRegionNumberHere` is the region ID you want to trigger teleports on. And you just put the position you desire for them to be returned to in place of the x, y.

if ($gameMap.regionId($gamePlayer.x, $gamePlayer.y) === `yourRegionNumberHere`){
    $gamePlayer.setPosition(x, y)
}

Optionally, you could put $gameMap.regionId($gamePlayer.x, $gamePlayer.y) === `yourRegionNumberHere` into a conditional command, and then put whatever event commands you want in that, such as a transfer command or just a script command with $gamePlayer.setPosition(x, y).

Just put it as a parallel event on the map, and paint your region Ids as you see fit.

Oh thanks you all! Sorry for not answering sooner, I have been busy lately.
