Create parallax map and paint tilemap grid-free in realtime using a visual editor, WYSIWYG · By
Hello Sang, I have a nice idea I think... Not sure if it's implemented already or not, but would be super awesome if there will be an "asset switch" thing, where for example when switch X=ON, then asset X looks different. With this we could make a game with seasons, too, like the tree that have switch Winter = ON is covered with snow, or sth like this. What do you thin kabout this? Is this even doable?
Hi! This is actually already possible with the plugin's existing layer control commands.
One simple approach would be:
Green_Tree). Snow_Tree). Example:
Control Map Layer Layer Name = Snow_Tree Action = Show Permanent = true
And:
Control Map Layer Layer Name = Green_Tree Action = Hide Permanent = true
Then simply run those commands from an event page conditioned by your Winter switch.
The same method could be used for seasons, destroyed/repaired buildings, day/night decorations, story progression changes, and similar map variations.
So while there isn't a dedicated "asset switch" feature that automatically swaps images based on a switch, the current layer control system already allows you to achieve the same result quite easily.
