Event Transparency
Version: 1.0


Introduction
This script is simple in premise. If you walk behind an event with a special code attached to its name, that event may become transparent so you can see the player behind it. A useful script if you have large forests or mazes filled with tall or large objects.


Demo
Nah. Too lazy. And it's not hard to use.


Script
Ooh! Clickies!
It's a unicode .txt file with a .doc extension.


Instructions
Paste below Scene_Debug and above Main. After that, it's just a matter of attaching code to the 'name' of your events like so: EV003 [Trans 2] or Tree [Trans 2] . It's the [Trans 2] letting the system know that the player can be up to '2' tiles behind the event and for it to still be transparent.


FAQ
Personally, I'd like a system that made the actual layer2 or layer3 tiles disappear, but this'll do. And it's not bad actually.


Compatibility
Initially designed for RPGMaker XP, but I have RPGMaker VX too and was told it works fine even with RPGMaker VXAce.


Terms and Conditions
Free for use, even in commercial projects. Due credit is all that's requested.

I can't download the script. Can you upload to other service?

RE: Event Transparency - DerVVulfman - 08-10-2012

I don't like using box.com for these. I'll switch it back when my preferred fileserver site fixes their uploader.

EDIT: Figures. The moment I complain and use Box.Com, they fix it. Back to my file sharing site. Box.Com's downloader annoys me to no end.....

The link is working. Script is good ;) Thanks.

Just to let you know this script works with VXAce also.

Can I turn ON / OFF this script ?

?

RE: Event Transparency - DerVVulfman - 03-09-2013

Nope. I don't see much of a point in turning the feature off either. If you want the player to be invisible behind a tree for a cutscene, you could use the [Set Event Location] to swap a transparent tree with a fully solid tree. There are always workarounds, but I don't plan or intend to make an off switch for this feature.
