Is it possible to call a common event whenever my character examines a tile with a terrain tag?  This would have to be the tile in front of the character, not the current tile the character is on.

I'm asking because I've written my own fishing event system, contained within one common event.  I want the player to fish in water anywhere in my game, but I don't want to put an event on every water tile (I've tried that, and of course it was horrible).  There must be a better way.


EDIT: Also, since I don't want to make two posts at once, I'm looking for good HP/SP Bars to be on screen at all times.  (It's called a HUD, right?)  But the only bars I can find are BlizzABS-only, and I'm not using BlizzABS.  Help?

Blizzard

Tons of Add-ons has a HUD that works with the normal map. It's similar to the Blizz-ABS HUD but without Blizz-ABS.

I'll see if I can get time to make you an event tomorrow. I already have some ideas on how to.

Here you go. This is exactly what you need with the terrain tags. Run the demo, go near the water and press space. Quite awesome in my opinion. <3

This is bloody brilliant and it's exactly what I needed.  Thanks Game Guy!

And thanks Blizz for the HUD tip!  I'll look it up :)
