Aug-25-09 Working in Layers

Well, it turns out it is possible to work in Layers in RPG Maker VX. Since pictures always move with the player instead of staying still, which is annoying, a script is needed. This script is a "fog" script, and it came from HBGames.org, formerly RPGMakerVX.org.

As far as I know, it is only possible to have two layers with this method, but that's still better than the RMVX default. There probably can be 3 layers, but I haven't come across the need for that. Any more than that, and RMVX probably will start lagging.

Besides, the areas that you don't want the hero to walk on should be defined as part of the map, before adding layers.
