Ever wanted to have a counter that is more than one tile thick? With this code, the game will keep checking for counter tiles, in a straight line away from the player, until the table/counter ends.
Simply insert this code into Game_Player, starting with line 165:
# Allow for table-counter
b = 0
while b == 0
if $game_map.counter?(new_x, new_y)
# Calculate 1 tile inside coordinates
new_x += (@direction == 6 ? 1 : @direction == 4 ? -1 : 0)
new_y += (@direction == 2 ? 1 : @direction == 8 ? -1 : 0)
else
b = 1
end
end
