Has anyone else encountered this? The ZLevel Script that is provided with PV Games downloads seems to behave incorrectly when making your sprite transparent. Here is a picture example of the issue I am having: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next",

Has anyone else encountered this? The ZLevel Script that is provided with PV Games downloads seems to behave incorrectly when making your sprite transparent. Here is a picture example of the issue I am having:

When I move behind this mysterious wardrobe (or any item that has star passability) my sprite turns transparent as intended. But once I reach the upper right of this wardrobe this happens:

The script works while behind a star tile. But it also makes the sprite transparent while standing one tile to the right of a star tile.
This is done on a completely clean install (aside from the added graphics.) It seems like the script is checking and adjusting the tile to the right of any star tile in addition to the star tile itself. Unfortunately my scripting is too poor right now to figure out how this is happening.
I've also tried the script from several downloads (as I've gotten three different PV Games downloads) and they are all identical.
Thanks!
