Alright, here's the thing. I'm making an RPG, and all the status systems and preperation is going fine. The problem is, I don't exeactly know how to create a tile set for my characters to walk on. I've tried numerous times myself, and failed. I'm a moderately experienced scripter for one thing, but I'm going to need some help.

The characters and tilesets are both 25 x 25 size in pixels. I want the character to not only be able to take regular "skipped" steps of 25 pixels in four directions, but to also reconize them when he steps on them. This way, I can easilly track whether the character is on mud, quicksand, a pit, water, and so on. It's more of the tileset engine that I need the most, however, it would be nice if you could tie the action script for the tile-walking, too.

If you need any more info, just ask! I'd also love to help in any way possible, because I hate feeling useless (like I feel now). Thanks in advance!

There's a really good tutorial on building tile-based RPG games and levels at www.gotoandplay.it

I'd read that if I were you :)

Thanks, I'll check into that. Although I am technically looking for something more advanced. I usually only find wrong websites.

Fair enough - but I think that tutorial should show you how to create a fairly good tile system, which you should be able to build on top of to give it the functionality you want.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you can't figure out how to do that, you probably shouldn't be building an RPG! No offense, just rings in my head like the million other "I wanna make a rpg lol" threads, if you know what I mean.

good luck :)

Thanks a ton. And it's not exactly the "Tileset" problem I need help with, it's integrating the tileset with the variables. I might have made the simplist of the mistakes and not noticied it; I've tried multiple times. I gues I worded it wrong? I'm not very suitable for explanations, so I guess I'll check if that works similar to my script.

The bad thing is that in America all the websites are spam and useless ... Also, the search engines only show [.com] files.

have you ever used the internet?
