[REESOLVED]Autotile Fix

Autotile Fix
December 11th

Summary
Alright, you know how when you use autotile walls and ceilings it looks as though you should be able to walk behind the last tile but you can't? I'll post screenshots to specify, but doesn't that just annoy you to death? Don't you wish you could actually walk BEHIND the building or structure, rather than around it? I do. I'm asking if someone could write a script that lets you walk behind the last tile. An example could be where it checks to see if there is another autotile from specific groups directly above the ones placed, and if there isn't, it sets the priority to "above player." Something like that. I'm a terrible scripter, otherwise I'd probably do it myself.

Features Desired

• Ability to walk behind top autotile for ceilings.
• Priority to be Above Player
• Ability to set which autotiles have this feature (optional)

Mockups

Everybody understand? Ceiling autotiles or level-surface autotiles only. Walls might be useful too, but are not necessary. If anything, it'll probably just get complicated.

[hearty laughter] @ the mockups xD
I think Wall Tile Extension does this.

EDIT:
Does not have the option to choose which autotile has this effect and which not, since there's no configuration.

[Strak]

Ah, I don't have an account with that site, so it won't let me view the script.

[heisenman]

I would have linked to a thread in this forum but apparently it hasn't been posted here.

Here's the script.

And here's the credits.

Terms and Conditions:
Free to use in Non-Commercial projects. Credit (MoonMan). You cannot use this in Commercial projects.

Credits:
(MoonMan) for the Script, Mr. Anonymous for the initial translation, Danyetman for full translation, Mithos for compatibility patch.

Major Credit goes to Leebot for figuring out what the hell the <NOBACK> function does!

[modern algebra]

That's not the script, just a compatibility patch if using SwapXT with it.

@Strak - just make an account. It's free, cheap, and there's lots of other great scripts there.

[Strak]

Eh, I guess I have to huh? Thanks for the link, I guess I was just being a lazy f***. Don't want to sign up for some other thing. Whatever. I probably would have soon enough anyway.

[heisenman]

Oh, right, the script's actually in the demo. I should have looked more carefully :x
I take back my previous statement of it not having configuration, I only looked at the patch.

[Terra-chan]

You could also use Original Wij's Overhead Ceilings. It does ONLY what you requested.

Moonman's Wall Tile Extension does the overhead ceilings bit and allows you to set differences for stair tiles and walking on roof tiles and secret passages and other passability things. However It does tend to have issues running with several other scripts that read maps and tiles.

[Strak]

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for, without all the complications.
