VXA question regarding off-screen events
#3
Okay, I got it solved sorta... See, I am using the Ultimate Overlay script that handles ground and parallax just fine, it's just a situation of splitting a graphic for the tiles that a player can go in front of and the ones that a player will always be behind in the viewport... Now, in the case of a tile that's over 2.2 Tiles tall, it becomes a bt tricky to get it to work. However, by resizing my sprites to just UNDER 2 tiles, I can easily fit them inside the span needed for clean matching between the ground overlay and the over-overlay...
No events needed...

Now, instead of trying to break apart each and every sprite into those two layers, i Can create the whole map place things wherever I want them, and instead cut them out from photoshop as one major layer... But releasing the two sprites (one as a ground, and one with the parallax and shadow on it, works just fine for this endeavor... Leavy stuff on trees will overlap this 2 tile boundary just fine... and tree trunks (or literally anything touching the ground will have one tile... (a character stand in front of a tree trunk and the tree trunk occupies a space, so all is well, anything beyond that, stays as part of the foreground and is fine

(PICTURES will come soon)

This leave s me to explore all sorts of ortho-isometric rendering possibilities, to create a unique style that renders my maps in the same way as Baldur's gate... Since movement is arrow or mouse based, I can still use the diagonal and basic RPG Movement tilebase,a nd use the basic RM collision for areas...
