Terrain Tag

[Souloux]

What exactly does the terrain tag do?

Basically, there are eventing and scripting commands that check if a tile has a certain terrain tag, and acts depending on it. For example, if you wanted to have a swimming script, you could program the script so it checks if the tile in front of you has terrain tag 1 (you would set it in the database to the tiles), and if it does, it lets you dive in.

You can also set terrain tags to variables, etc. for events. Use your imagination, I'm sure you can think of things to use them in.

Search before you make topics. There is a whole thing that tells you all of it and how to do it. I belive it was started by Rawr.

Say I have a jumping system through events. how would i set the terrain to prevent the main character from jumping onto a ledge that is too high up?

A terrain doesnt do that kind of stuff, you just got to make it "Ignore if cannot move"

i've done that and it still allow the character to jump onto it. do i need to take a screen shot to explain what i mean?

 

[Cheeze]

Well then you messed up in the coding somewhere.

how could i have messed up with the coding if i haven't even coded anything yet? i think you need to read my posts again.

May I have a look at your jump system first?

Because I'm pretty sure character can jump to anywhere if you set "Through ON" in command "Set Move Route..".

Or check at the Passability of tileset and layers in map. The passability of tile in highest layer will replace the lower one~
(e.g. you put the water(cannot walk on it) on Layer 1, and put grass(can walk on it) on Layer 2, the character will be able to walk on the grass even it is on water.)

it's under this thread.

the link to a demo is in rpgfanatic's post furthest to the bottom.

OK I got it,
all you have to do is same as you're making the bridge. (read tutorial here: http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=14804)

Basically, what you've to do is make condition branch before jump to check if hero is in same height. (you may create other variable called 'hero_height', and check if its value = variable Height)

 

[Souloux]

yea that would work well if i could understand all of it. it so damn confusing...

Basically you set a variable depending on the height of where you're at. You make it impossible to jump to a higher ground if the variable:height of that tile is higher than the tile you're currently on; but you can jump to lower ground if the variable is lower than the tile you're on.
