Terrain Tag [A] = Higher Priority than Picture [X]

[Northern49]

I'm looking for a short script that when called converts tiles with a given terrain tag to overlap a certain (or any) picture number.

Let's look at the picture we want to under lap over the tiles, shall we?

Now let's look at an in-game screen shot currently. This is without any script of the sort:

Now, with the script, we'll set the terrain tag of the tiles I want to overlap the truck to 7:

Now the picture shows beneath the bridge cables instead of on top of them!:

And thats what I need.
Thank you!

I may be wrong, but this would require using the Tilemap rewrite, which lags pretty bad. Instead you could just make the car a character.

I would make it a charcter instead, except I doubt I would be able to make a character with 16 directional movement.
Also, RMXP lacks the ability to allow characters to strafe (move from side to side while moving while retaining direction), which is what cars do.
And things like the sheer factor of character moving in blocks and having very noticable speed transitions (between fast and faster), which is something I really want to avoid.

Wow, making 16 dir movement would be really hard with the default engine :] Another thing I thought of, to avoind using the Tilemap rewrite, is to draw the cables to a fog, and make the fog overlap the pictures (that would be easier to do). Would you be satisfied with something like this?

 

[Northern49]

Already using a fog to darken the map for a night effect.

Here is a video of the scene. Try to tolerate the bad sound quality and FPS problems. Both were caused by youtube and the screen recorder.

It's possible to add another fog, defined from a "script" command or within the script itself.

edit: Is this only a cut-scene?

 

[Northern49]

Tried that, it is incompatible with a script I actually need. Plus the map is too large to use a fog for such a purpose. It's about 400x400.

Had somekind of error and it double posted.
