Introduction
The tileset database in RPG Maker MV contains a flag that allows a tile to be marked as a "ladder". Any character (player, follower, or event) which moves on this tile will have a fixed direction of "up", to make the ladder movement appear more realistic.

Even if an event uses the tileset graphic that is marked as a "Ladder", the character's direction will not be fixed to "up". This is a simple plugin which allows events to be treated as a ladder.

New v2.0: This plugin also allows events to have the properties of a "Counter".
Any event with a graphic set to a tileset tile that is marked with the "Counter" property or has a notetag of <counter> is treated as a counter.

"Counter" allows interaction with other events from 1 space away.
(Example: Speak to a shop owner standing behind a table)


Practical Usage
A ladder may 'appear' by solving a puzzle or triggering a switch. In this case, the ladder is composed of events that are activated by a switch. With this plugin, this ladder will operate the same as a ladder created from the tileset.

How to use
Use a notetag of this format on any event that is to be treated as a ladder.

New v2.0: Use a notetag of this format on any event that is to be treated as a counter.

New v2.0: Events with their graphic set to a tile on the tileset with either the Ladder or Counter flag will function as a Ladder or Counter, respectively.
