Introduction

This plugin uses region IDs to determine a player 'floor level'. Even autotiles can be drawn ABOVE players (if player is on lower ground). I have tried to find this type of plugin for a long time, then decided to code one my self.

I know you can use different tilesets or events to accomplish this, but this saves a lot of tiles in my tilesets. And no more event switches to toggle higher / lower ground.

Use event comments <lower> or <higher> to assign event floor level. If autotiles A3 (roofs) or A4 (walltop) tiles are used "Auto-assign" (no comments found) will assign the event to higher floor level, else event is assigned to lower floor level.

Also works (for example) with "OcRam_Local_Coop" and Yanfly engine -plugins (no issues known).

ps. You can use this plugin indoors as door passages also (shown later).

Here's what you need:

1. "OcRam_Passages" -plugin
   
   
2. Mark regions

• RegionID 16 = Underpassage (this will set player to lower ground)
• RegionID 17 = Overpassage (this will set player to higher ground, also draws B-E layers)
• RegionID 18 = Cover tile for tiles B-E (transparent background)
• RegionID 19 = Autotile Cover for A tiles (opaque background)
• RegionID 20 = Always block passage (for blocking ie. door way sides)
• RegionID 21 = Block passage AND draw tiles ABOVE, if on lower floor
• RegionID 22 = Block passage to underpassage region (can be used to fix RMMV core "bug" where passable tile, like "bush", allows passage over cliffs)
