Two Recommended Plugins for Parallaxing

[Yrythaela]

If you don't want to watch me just walking around, the two plugins that I recommend are Orange Overlay and Yanfly's Region Restrict.

region rrestrict type plugins are for those who try to be lazy about parallax mapping, and that is in my opinion not the best way.

it is more work but has much more options to use an invisible tileset instead - after all the region restrictions are absolute and have nothing other than walk/no walk. All the other options like ladder, counter, bush or directional passability are completely lost on using region restrictions.

Invisible tileset and Region Restrict is basically the same thing and invisible tileset is still applicable to the usage of Region Restrict. Was just talking about recommended plugins to use and invible tileset isn't really a plugin. Hope that clears things up.

then how do you setup a ladder - you know, the sprite always facing north even when going down - with region restrict? Or how do you setup directional passability - for a example a slide where the player can go left but not right - with region resttrict?

You can still use invisible tilesets with region restrict as I've said before...

If you use region restrict, its just an easy to make passable and impassable terrain and an easy way to mark which is which. Yet you still can use invisible tilesets to make ladders, directional tiles and such.
