Tile Changer

Introduction
This plugin allows you to copy a block of tiles from another map to the current map, copy a block of tiles from one spot on the current map to another, or to change individual tiles to a specific tile Id.
How to use
Add to your plugin folder (call it Shaz_TileChanger.js) and enable in the plugin manager.
Set up the notes on the current map only if you want to copy tiles from other maps.
Use the plugin commands to copy or change tiles.
Map notes must be in the following format - one name/map pair for each map you want to copy tiles from:
I suggest doing this in a text editor, as the line won't fit in the map note window, so it's hard to see and can be easy to make mistakes.
When using the CopyTiles command to copy from another map, use the 'name' from the map note box rather than the map id. This does not need to be the same as the display name or the editor name of the map.
Plugin Commands
CopyTiles dx dy 'source' sx1 sy1 sx2 sy2 z-list
Copies tiles from another (or the same) map, where
dx is the x-coordinate of the top left destination area
dy is the y-coordinate of the top left destination area
source is the 'name' of the source map in the map note or 'self' if you want to copy a section of the current map - you need to put quotes around this name.
sx1 is the x-coordinate of the top left source area
sy1 is the y-coordinate of the top left source area
sx2 is the x-coordinate of the bottom right source area
sy2 is the y-coordinate of the bottom right source area
z-list is an optional series of z values indicating which layers to copy; if more than one, just use spaces between; if omitted, all layers will be copied
ChangeTile x y z tileId
Changes the tile at the specified coordinates and layer to the tileId
indicated. Note - no auto-formatting of autotiles happens here.
Z-layers
0 - ground layer (most A tiles)
1 - ground cover layer (A1 tiles with transparent areas, and right 4 columns of A2 tiles)
2 - upper layer 1
3 - upper layer 2
4 - shadow layer
5 - region layer
All arguments can be script commands that will be evaluated - make sure there are no spaces anywhere within the individual arguments/script commands.
Example
CopyTiles 3 3 'destroyed' 5 8 9 12
copies the area between 5,8 and 9,12 from the 'destroyed' map to the current map, with the upper left at 3,3. All layers are copied
CopyTiles 3 3 'wilted' 5 8 9 12 2 3
copies layers 2 and 3 (the upper layers) between 5,8 and 9,12 from the 'wilted' map to the current map, with the upper left at 3,3
ChangeTile 3 3 2 0
replaces the tile at coordinate 3,3 on layer 0 (upper layer 1) with tile 0 (which is the 'erase' tile - so this is removing whatever tile may have previously been there)

Notes
This plugin changes/copies the tile Id, not the image. So your other maps should use the same tileset, or at least have the the tiles that you want to copy in the same position on both tilesets. Otherwise you could be trying to copy a vase with flowers from one map, and have it turn into a teddy bear on the other.
[introduced 2018.03.24] This plugin now saves the tile changes. If you leave the map (to another map, the battle screen or a menu) and return, the tile changes will still be there. You do not need to add a parallel process event to re-run the tile changes anymore.
I have only done basic testing with this plugin. If you have issues, please provide me with a copy/paste, or screenshots of
1. Your plugin command
2. Your map note box if you're using the CopyTiles command (copy/paste that one)
3. The console log, showing the error message and the script name and line number
Change Log
2018.03.24 1.10 - tile changes are now saved. Solves issue of tiles reverting when returning from the menu or battle, and an event to re-change the tiles when coming from another map are no longer required.
