Tileset Passability Issue/Inconsistency

[DarkPlasmaBall]

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my tileset passability (in MV); I'm able to walk on walls/tiles that I shouldn't be able to. I thought it was just a quick fix regarding toggling O/X/* tiles, and I looked through other relevant threads, but none seem to be solving this problem. Toggling the actual tiles isn't helping, and toggling the blank tiles isn't helping either. Some of my X tiles are correctly impassable, and some aren't. I can't find any differences in the settings of these tiles, and I'm finding the inconsistency very confusing. I have 3 pictures attached that should be helpful in elaborating too. Any ideas? Thanks!

No, that is intentional - you're using the tiles in the wrong way.

please take a very good look at how the A4 tiles are displayed in the editor.
They are NOT all "wall" tiles!!

If you look carefull you'll see that they are displayed in fitting pairs like a tower with a top and a bottom.
The bottom parts are wall tiles, and the top parts are so-called "ceiling" tiles - and ceiling tiles are automatically walkable and you can't even change the 4-dir passability setting in the database because that is automated.

If you use those tiles as intended - with the top always being the top with a real wall below - then you can use that to simulate a two-level-dungeon on a single map. You basically need a ladder on the wall to be able to climb up and walk on the top of the walls.
Only if you don't have a wall there, that allows you to enter that ceiling from the bottom.
Or if you have too many decorations as any passable tile on the B-E tabs can give you an override to climb the wall up.

Oh wow, thank you! I was under the impression that I was able to toggle *any* tiles as passable/impassable, to make *any* of these colors or patterns as walls. Looking at the rows/pairs in the way you explained will help me remember which ones work the way I had intuited Thank you!

The A1 - A4 tiles all have their own passability settings, so you can't change them around like you can with the A5 and B-E tiles.

Okay thanks!
