Specific Animations which are not shown under specific terrains

[Stray]

Hey hey~

Is there a script, that hides specific animations which are under specific terrains? For the areas where is nothing or walls.
I need this for lights. The part of the animation, which is under the terrain/the field should be hidden.

I didn;t get you. What animations are you talking about? Event animations, autotile animations or battle animations?

from what I get, you want to make some animation didn't show at specific terrains?

That's how it looks normally...

That's how it should look like.

*bump*

There's no script, which can do something like that?

Almost.
But unfortunately, the animations should be shown on the events too.
Only not on these tiles which are walls. It's important that I can use big light effects.

I'm so glad about your help and thank you, but the charsets are still above the animations... :ll

[nathmatt]

sprite.z = 150

just keep messing with this line and see if you can come up with a number that works

[Stray]

This is the the line with sprite.z = 555

Spoiler: ShowHide

It's not important how high or low the value is.
If you try it with all priorities you'll see the effect. Anyway, it doesn't work very good.

[nathmatt]

that is about the only way i can think of to do it

[KK20]

I think you need to edit the z-values of the tilemap. Why? After studying the z-values of the tiles and characters, their values are almost identical and can clash into problems. For example, a character located at the VERY BOTTOM of the screen has a z-value of 511 while a tile with a priority of five can be less than that (like 160). My solution is to modify the z-value of tiles that have priority to something much bigger (like 1000 or more), thus the need to edit the Tilemap class.

Problem is, the Tilemap class is hidden. Users have made their own versions, so it's not that big of an issue. Whether you can program or not is essentially your biggest problem.

That said, I think I've found the solution, but I'm not ready to post it yet.

[Stray]

I'm not sure, what I have to change now. Also, I don't know much about scripting.

Do I need to change something in "Spriteset_Map", in the ".z"-Values?

In the Tilemap_Class, I added a constant that you may change. Find whatever value best fits your needs. I also suggest giving tiles the highest priority (a value of 5 in the database editor) if you want animations to play BEHIND the tile.

Oh god, it works! Thank you SO much!

Only one question now: Do you think it could make problems, if I used it with the blizz ABS?

[KK20]

Sadly, I cannot answer that question. I haven't studied Blizz ABS enough to notice any compatibility issues. Nor do I know how much changing the Z-values does to the graphics (like windows, fogs, screen transitions, HUDs, etc.).

But if there are any issues you happen to come across, I'm here to help. 

[Stray]

Okay thank you.

My next question is, if this smooth scrolling script could be adjusted to these priorities.
I think it looks so pretty and makes a so much better effect... like a swinging camera.

So this script makes the scrolling while walking on a map more smooth.

The script can't work with the new scripts that we have here.
As example:
The hero walks 1 field up -> smooth scrolling for the hero sprite (and the lowest layer).
But the layers we have edited or added aren't mentioned in the "smooth scrolling"-script, so these layers
just move normal so that the map is collapsing.

Maybe I'm a bit insane to require this, but if there is a solution to it I could die happily.

Is it that impossible?

I tried looking into it, but I was going into it blind. There are a ton of variables and numbers to keep track of to understand what is the issue. I don't think I can figure it out anytime soon. :\

Too bad, the effect was so cool... I am just lucky your help was there.
