Requesting a Guard Can See Player script

[DaedalusMachina]

Working on an idea for an RPG, and was wondering if I could get a script.

Once a command is given, an event (say a Guard) will search for the player. If the player falls within a Visible Range (6 tiles long by 3 tiles wide in FRONT of the guard's current facing), then the player can be seen, unless the switch "Is Hidden" is ON.

I'm mostly asking for the script which will return boolean if the player can be seen or not, then checks if the player Is Hidden.

If you need more information, I'll do my best.

P.S.: If someone could possibly tell me how I can turn a terrain tag into a doable script (for instance, using a shadow terrain in order to trigger the "Is Hidden" switch) that would be great, too.

You can set a variable equal to a character's terrain tag through the event's "control variable" option. So if you make a prallel process event check the player's terrain tag and set a variable equal to it, you can then check that variable to see if the player is "hidden"

I think what you want is cmpsr2000's "Stelth detection System" it lets you choose the range an event can see to and other things like if a rock is in the way, can he see whats behind it. it also lets you choose what heppens when you get caught.
