Hey folks, I've been making a prototype game using SRPG Gear MV for some time now. However, while I was trying to construct more interesting and challenging battlefields using the 4-way Direction settings in tilesets, once in battle the system would completely ignore these things and just plot movement over them.

Here's how it looks under the tilesets tab for example:


Now here's how the battle system processes it: (The witches are enemies, so I cannot move through them.)

(Excuse the poor quality of my placeholder sprites.)
Can somebody familiar with this plugin help me? Is there a way to fix this with the tools available to me? Or will I have to get elbow deep in the plugin's code to fix it? If the latter, are there any good samaritans willing to help out?

Here's a link to the main plugin's steam page:
I'm also using it with Yanfly's Battle Engine Core purely for Animated Sideview Battlers: https://yanflyengineplugins.itch.io/free-starter-pack-essentials
