While looking at tilesets and maps i had this idea pop up in my mind about tile layers you can hide/show or better yet change it's opacity.

for example, if you are under a specific tile like trees their opacity changes so you can see your character or even a hidden pathway that was covered and hidden by a wall.

If anyone else needs a demo example check out blasphemia abs hud or other huds that turn transparent once your character goes under it.

so if anyone knows a script or can make one that would be great.

I thought VX Ace already had a "Bush" setting in the Tileset editor that allowed certain tiles to be partially see-through-able?

im sure i just cant set a wall to a "bush" and have that hidden entry effect. xD

bump...anyone?

I was thinking that (for RPGMaker XP) that two scripts handle something along the lines of layers that have a form of transparency. SephirothSpawn made a 'removable layers' system which was more towards a debugging tool, and there's MGC's posting of an ISO system where you actually have translucent walls.

I'm not an expert on the tilemap systems and I don't even have RPGMaker VXAce, but I am trying to peak some interest here as I wouldn't mind a cross-platform version (XP,VX,VXce) of this myself.

Personal standpoint...
"I believe in giving people options, not 'forcing' only one script or system upon everyone. Adaption is key, not specialization. Overspecialize, and you breed in weakness."

I found a script yami made called "overlay mapping" and you can hide/show them with a switch.
it deals with images the size of the whole map and not just seperate tiles though...but maybe it works the same o.o
