Introduction

• Inspired by the game Fatal Labyrinth for Mega Drive, I have created this plugin that can cover a map and let the player reveal it as he moves!

Features

• Cover the tiles marked by regions with a 48x48 image of your preference.
• Can choose the regions that will do the cover.
• Player can reveal these tiles as he moves!
• Set the range, in tiles, that the player is able to reveal when he moves(through a variable value!).
• Set the revealing type to square, diamond, linear, or region!
• There is a special reveal type "OneRegion" That only reveals the player's region! All other ones stay covered!
• Can reveal or hide regions at once.
• Can hide and reveal tiles by coordinates too!

How to use

• First of all, create an image with the size of 48x48 and save it in the system's folder. Then set it on the plugin parameter "Cover Image".

• Choose a default value for the revealing type in the parameters:
• Square - Reveal the tiles with a square range.
• Diamond - Reveal the tiles with a diamond range.
• Linear - Reveal the tiles in a straight line range.
• Region - reveal all tiles in a region at once.
• One Region - This is a special type that will only reveal the player's region tiles.
When the player leaves this region, it will cover that and reveal to the other that the player has moved in.

• Choose a variable to hold the range value, in tiles.

• You can also change the visibility parameter to reveal tiles instantly(toggle) or use a fading effect(That I made just for fun).

• Paint your map with regions in the place you want to be covered. As the player moves, he will reveal the tiles based on his range value.
You can use only one region if you want, but using more will make it easy when you want to reveal or hide one specific place.

• Finally, set a note tag in your map if you want it to use the cover feature: <CoverMap> (It's not case sensitive).

• You can use plugin commands to cover/reveal tiles by coordinates, event positions, and regions.

NOTE¹: For now it's advised to use only with tiles 48x48 and resolutions divisible by 48.

NOTE²: After 80x80 covered tiles, sometimes I had experienced fps drops.
That does not mean you cannot use it on a map with more than 80X80. It means that maybe you will have fps drops with more than 80x80 tiles painted.
It will also depend on the machine running it.
