Walking through a wall.

[Dope]

I built a room and had everything the way I liked it, then I discovered there was one tile where I could walk through the wall. I'm not sure what's going on with that one particular tile and the rest of the wall is impassable as it should be but... any help as to why the one spot isn't working right would be appreciated. The tile affected is the one above the entrance to the right. The player can walk up into the wall, but not from the left to the right.

I usually run into this when I make custom tiles, like say a picture that goes on the wall, and then forget to set the walkability to X in the database tiles properties. I'd start there and make sure that's right in your database.

 

[Cunechan]

it might be some empty tile that is passable and you might have placed it on the wall?

 

[Dope]

I def set the tile to x in the tileset because it's just that one tile.

If it's an empty tile, not sure if it is, how would I delete it?

 

[Cunechan]

place another empty tile of which youve checked the passability to be x above ^^ oh wait, its mv right? better use two empty tiles and put them above, im not sure how the build in overlay mapping handles this

@Dope Try selecting the wall tile and placing that over the problem tile. That will remove the upper layer tiles.

Well it's weird because I can move that opening on the right and no matter where I put it, the "wall" can still be walked through from the top. It's like on the last row, any direction moving up is ok, even in through a wall. I can't move in a downwards direction to walk through, only up.

Are you sure the wall tile is impassible?

I'm positive. I can use the same tile elsewhere and it works as intended. I don't know if I did something to that column, but all tiles on say the 13th column, when moving in an upward direction, the character will walk through anything. But if you were to go to the row beside it, say row 12, then try and walk into row 13, through a wall, it won't work. But if you're already on 13 and there is a wall on 13 blocking your upwards movement, you'll walk through it. I can only assume it's a glitch.

Do you mean the tile with no wall below it and only a roof on the far right? If so you will *always* walk through those if they are from the A4 tile set and you go up/down. It is so you can use them for 2 level dungeons. Put a wall under it and it will block your passage.

If it is not that tile, please mark precisely on the screenshot which tile you mean.

I think bgillisp found it. I was on my phone earlier and couldn't see the map too well but that certainly looks like it would do it. Something else to check if you use Yanfly's Region Restrictions or something similar is whether you placed any Region tiles that allow you walk in places that you normally wouldn't be able to. I've done that a few times as well.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're describing. If that's the scenario in the pic in the first post, I guess. I can't put a wall under it tho as that's supposed to be a door.

I don't use that particular plugin, I just gave up and closed it off and put the event in front of where the door should be... Not how I wanted to do things, makes no sense since the bottom door is built literally the same way, just horizontal, but I'm not going to stress it.

 

[Frogboy]

Horizontal vs vertical makes all the difference in the world here. Roof tiles are set up to allow you to walk on them vertically but not horizontally because there are no walls placed on the left or right of them. All you should need to do is place a wall tile right above the right-most entrance and it should solve you issue.

Then I have to turn that 1 square into a two square hallway. Which looks weird, especially when looking at the bottom door. I'd rather just put an event in front of the wall and treat it as a door.

Follow the link to the starting point in my signature, one of the tips there is a description of how the ceiling tiles of A4 can be used to simulate a two-level-dungeon on a one-level-map.

Actually, it looks weird in the current setup. You'll need the wall there or the first thing everyone will criticize about your game is how you are misusing the roofs and walls. Trust me on that one, I've seen it done all the time on the internet (and even on steam releases).

look at the rest of your walls, that is the only place you have access directly to that tile type. that tile type has passability from the bottom, you normally dont have to worry about that because normally, a WALL tile is in the way of it. The back of your room all has proper wall tiles, then that one doorway does not.

Put a wall tile in there, like the rest of your room. For both consistency with the style of the room, AND to fix the problem.

They are saying, do like on the left of this pic, not the right, like you have it.
