Event passage through other event, but not impassable tiles

[Culex]

I would like for the events to be configured so that when they're set to "Through," they can pass through other events or the player but NOT impassable tiles.

Example: There's a room full of rats and you have to wade through them. Rather than waiting for them to move or get stuck in a narrow hallway with them, they can just pass through the player or vice-versa (they're small enough for it not to look too silly). If they're set to "Through" normally, they'll obviously pass right through the walls. ;D

I thought about setting variables to each rat's coordinates and then make a parallel process that moves them to another space when their coordinates get too close to where a wall would be...but for each rat in the room...aye, that would be cumbersome... :P

Thank you for looking into this!

That involves modifying the _passable?_ method of Game_Character.  Put the following code in a new script section.  The changed method works as normal but grants a special passability exception to events named "Rat".

class Game_Character
  def passable?(x, y, d)
    # Get new coordinates
    new_x = x + (d == 6 ? 1 : d == 4 ? -1 : 0)
    new_y = y + (d == 2 ? 1 : d == 8 ? -1 : 0)
    # If coordinates are outside of map
    unless $game_map.valid?(new_x, new_y)
      # impassable
      return false
    end
    # If through is ON
    if @through
      # passable if the event isn't a Rat
      if !@event || @event.name!="Rat"
        return true
      end
    end
    # If unable to leave first move tile in designated direction
    unless $game_map.passable?(x, y, d, self)
      # impassable
      return false
    end
    # If unable to enter move tile in designated direction
    unless $game_map.passable?(new_x, new_y, 10 - d)
      # impassable
      return false
    end
    # If through is ON (second check)
    if @through
      # passable
      return true
    end
    # Loop all events
    for event in $game_map.events.values
      # If event coordinates are consistent with move destination
      if event.x == new_x and event.y == new_y
        # If through is OFF
        unless event.through
          # If self is event
          if self != $game_player
            # impassable
            return false
          end
          # With self as the player and partner graphic as character
          if event.character_name != ""
            # impassable
            return false
          end
        end
      end
    end
    # If player coordinates are consistent with move destination
    if $game_player.x == new_x and $game_player.y == new_y
      # If through is OFF
      unless $game_player.through
        # If your own graphic is the character
        if @character_name != ""
          # impassable
          return false
        end
      end
    end
    # passable
    return true
  end
end

Yay! It's poccil again! It seems you would the Wandering Script Savior...or something! Thank you so much for your help!  ;D
