Autotile z-depth ?

[BlueScope]

I gujess the title already explains it, I need a method to set the autotile's z-level. Here's what I've got so far...

    for i in 0..6
      autotile_name = $game_map.autotile_names[i]
      @tilemap.autotiles[i] = RPG::Cache.autotile(autotile_name)
      @tilemap.autotiles[i].z = -10 # my addition
    end

It gives me an undefined method error for the command 'z' for the bitmap. Well, I have no clue why this isn't working, but that's where you guys come into play ^_^

I don't have RMXP on the computer I'm on, but try this instead:
self.z = -10

It should work, I'm not sure why it's throwing an error.

I can tell you without trying that this won't work, you have to refer to the autotile directly, else it'll set the whole scene to this level, which won't make sense, means it'll give you the same error for another reason...

Tried... what I said ^_^

 

[Elijah von Bose]

Well...... I don't know why you'd want to do this anyways? What would be the purpose of setting the Z on the map to -10? I'm intrigued.

Not on the map, only for the autotiles. I want to display the character's reflection on top of the water, but below the rest of the tiles, of course. (Almost) impossible without that.

Ah, you're also going to need to use a water autotile with the grass removed, else you'll be reflecting grass. But I'm sorry I couldn't help you with your Z problem.

 

[BlueScope]

Yeah, that's the very least problem ^_^ (you could also press Shift while placing the water, you know? ^_^)
