Hidden Autotile Script

[BlueScope]

Hidden Autotile Script
v1.1

Introduction

This script allows the game designer to use autotiles for debugging that won't be displayed ingame. Those can be used for passability/non-passability, or simply marking paths for events or similar.
The autotiles I provide have 50% transparency and a descriptive text on them. I think that's a good way of marking the areas. Of course, you can use all autotiles you want with this script.


Script and Resources

Spoiler: Script

    for i in 0..6
      autotile_name = $game_map.autotile_names[i]
      if $DEBUG
        @tilemap.autotiles[i] = RPG::Cache.autotile(autotile_name)
      else
        if autotile_name.include?("Overlay_") == false
          @tilemap.autotiles[i] = RPG::Cache.autotile(autotile_name)
        end
      end
    end

Instructions

Just replace the default for-condition inside class Spriteset_Map with the code I posted.

For rendering an Autotile to not be shown ingame, rename it to something containing "Overlay_" and copy it into the Graphics/Autotiles folder.

Nice script. But I have one question.
Were do you place the script at?

-=edit=-
Nevermind got it

 

[Me(tm)]

unless $DEBUG and autotile_name.include?("Overlay_") 
  @tilemap.autotiles[i] = RPG::Cache.autotile(autotile_name)
end

^
Why not?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Neat ^_^

 

[BlueScope]

@Me: Try it, it won't work... ^_^ You need an else-case at least, because you need to draw autotiles in both cases ($DEBUG true and false), but while $DEBUG, the tiles with "Overlay_" should also be drawn... I haven't found a shorter way to do it, but I'm pretty sure your way doesn't work... :P (I'll try it out when I'm at home, though)

EDIT @Seph: Thanks... though I doubt you meant that serious :P

 

[SephirothSpawn]

No, I did.

I believe this is what you are meaning?

    for i in 0..6
      autotile_name = $game_map.autotile_names[i]
      if $DEBUG || not autotile_name.include?("Overlay_")
          @tilemap.autotiles[i] = RPG::Cache.autotile(autotile_name)
        end
      end
    end

 

[Me(tm)]

unless (not $DEBUG and autotile_name.include?("Overlay_") )
  @tilemap.autotiles[i] = RPG::Cache.autotile(autotile_name)
end

I forgot the not... It is pretty much the same as sephs, except the bitwise thing/logical thing

 

[Chaos_Prime]

It's very cool indeed especially if your creating a dungeon map with hidden areas or covered areas that holds hidden treasures or an optional boss.

 

[Necrile]

Its not workin for me...autotiles show up even outside debug..

 

[BlueScope]

The usual: Test it with a new project, legal latest version, double-check the instructions, ... if it still doesn't work after those, place this directly above Main:

If this works, you know you did something wrong before :P

 

[Chaos_Prime]

Works for me. In a new project but when I try it out in one I've been working one I still see the
auto-tile sets.
And I've done exactly as you had it. What could be the problem?
