characters behind walls? [SOLVED]

[rpgmakers 0]

Hello, is it posible to have characters be able to step behind walls like in the picture below:

To change the characters z priority related to the wall tiles somehow.

Thanks.

Well, in the tileset in the database, you would change the passable setting from a circle or square to a star.  However, this would require 1 of 2 things.  Your character sprite to be larger than 1 square (for example, the default character sprites wouldn't work) OR the tile would need to only cover up half a square (which most "wall" tiles aren't going to do.)

Thanks, but the wall tile I'm using only let's me to change it to a circle, that means below the character. No, the passability is not gonna cut it, it must be scripted. I've seen this done for RPG Maker VX, I just couldn't find the script anymore and I think XP had this feature by default.

 

Edit:

Here is it, I found it, Original Wij's script for RMVX. I just can't get it to work with Ace. Hope someone helps me:

#==============================================================================
# Overhead Ceilings
#==============================================================================
# Author : OriginalWij
# Version : 1.2
#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================
# v1.0
# - Initial release
# v1.1
# - Made ceiling passability dependent on adjacent tile
# - Added auto-shadow work-around fix
# v1.2
# - Added ceiling passability dependent on adjacent tile option
# (now works with "above" or "same level" tiles)
# - Added detection of adjacent water/lava tiles
#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================
# This script automatically restores the overhead function of "ceiling" tiles
# for the A3 (roof) and A4 (wall-top) tilesets like it was in RM2K3/RMXP.
#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================
# NOTE: Auto-Shadows are disabled for the "ceiling" tiles because of their new
# orientation. They will still show in the editor, but not in-game.
#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================
# AUTO-SHADOW FIX:
#
# To re-enable auto-shadows for "ceiling" tiles:
# 1) Change the REPLACEMENT_TILE number as stated below. (2840 → 7760)
# 2) Change the passability of the "purple-vine" wall-top tile, (ID# 7760)
# located in Tab A, to "below" character. (change it from 'X' to 'O')
#
# NOTE: The "purple-vine" wall-top tile will be no longer be usable as a
# wall-top tile if this fix is used. (can be used for flooring, though)
#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================
# TO CHANGE ADJACENT TILE CEILING BLOCKING:
#
# $game_map.block_tile = true/false
#
# false = ceiling not passable if adjacent tile is ABOVE (☆)
# true = ceiling not passable if adjacent tile is SAME LEVEL (X)

FenixFyreX made something for Ace that might be what you're after:

Yeah, I think this is pretty much it, thanks.
