Event Editing (as seen in script comments)
Code:
Event Editing Instructions
1.) Events come in three main varieties under platform mode; normal, flying, and
platform.
PLATFORM events need to have a comment that says "platform" on the first
line of the active event page. Platform events can push the player and
other events around on the screen, and even off the screen, so be careful
where you put them. Platform events automatically ignore gravity.
FLYING events need to have a comment that says "flying" on the first line
of the active event page. Flying events ignore gravity, but don't push
the player or other events around; they bump into other things as normal.
NORMAL events are events without a "flying" or "platform" comment. They
are affected by gravity.
2.) The three movement types are HIGHLY modified.
First of all, custom movement needs a lot more statements to move an equal
distance compared to a tile-based movement map. This is because each move
command only moves the event one "step" of its movement speed. Movement
Speed 3 requires 16 move lefts to move one tile to the left! This was done
deliberately so you can customize movement paths outside normal tile
boundaries.
Second, toward player only works with left and right unless the event is
flying, in which case it works up/down, too. There is no pathfinding if
something is in the way.
Third, random movement only moves left or right, even for flying events.===================================
