You know how in Final Fantasy and many other games that there were certain "Regions" of the map that had different monsters than the other? I have created a script that allows you to have different troops rove a particular place of the map, using simply x,y coordinates. If the "regions" happen to overlap one another, monsters from either area can attack you, and it should be compatible with all other scripts. You were able to do this easily in Rm2k and 2k3, but with XP this functionality was lost, and it quite annoyed me. Anway, hope this helps.
