Alright, I'm sure this has been done before, but I didn't check, and I wanted to do something productive, so I came up with a simple treasure hunter event system that allows you to set up hidden items around the map and allows your player to be alerted when he is in front of one.

Here's screen shots of it in play!  (If your imagination doesn't allow you to just quickly visualize what I'm talking about)
The Player sees something!: ShowHide




Oh my goodness!  Look what we found!: ShowHide




Okay, so first set up an event with 2 pages.  First page checks to see if the tile in front of the player has treasure and it looks like...
this!: ShowHide




The second page prevents the animation you choose to show as your hint that there is treasure in front of you from playing over and over again and it looks like...
that!: ShowHide




All you have to do with your "treasure" is set up an event that has it's graphic as whichever piece of terrain you chose to be your "treasure tile" (in this scenario I'm using a terrain tag of 2) and add whatever funky stuff you want to, to the event page, letting the player feel satisfied that his brilliance found a secret in the game!

Setting the Treasure event's graphic: ShowHide




Anyway, pretty simple, but something people may or may not use.  I'll probably throw it into my game somehow, and activate it once a player gets a certain "treasure hunting" item or something *Bleepidy Bleepish* of the sort.  Enjoy.

Tsk tsk tsk...
Your use of a word near the end makes me go >8I

Anyway...
That sure is a different way of going about it than what I thought.

Yeah I didn't take a look at any other scripts or event systems doing the same (or similar... probably better) thing.  Just doin' some mind yoga.

And whatttt word are you talking about???   :ninja:  Bleepidy bleepish?

Nice, Hex, but wouldn't it be more simple to do something like this:

Of course, my way the player would have to hold the search button and walk over the area again.
Just my two cents. Your way works fantastic already! Great work!
