Ok I just switched my main character to the world map in test play... I noticed quickly that I couldn't move around, so I went to passability in my map settings. I have noticed an "x","o", a star, and a square.

I don't really know what any of those mean so could someone help me out?

I want to be able to move on the world map... My guy is stuck.

X = blocked
O= passable
star = overlaps the hero

Why don't you test them all?

And the square (on autotiles) lets the tile act as a rooftile.

I never knew that. What's it good for?

It has special logic for walking underneath. You can walk under the top row of roof tiles, but cannot passthrough 2 or more.

A functionality that I have to admit I miss in VX.

I tested it and noticed that, but... in what kind of situation is it useful?

If viewed from a 45-degree (or similar) angle, a person would naturally be partially or totally obscured ("walking under") by a tall wall or roof when walking next to it. It thus gives a sense of depth and diagonal viewing angle to the map.

Without this, the impression we receive is that we're looking at the map from a 90-degree angle (from the top), and that point of view tends to conflict badly with the majority of chipsets, sprites, and panoramas that are made and/or used.

More important than the aesthetic issue, it allows for making secret passages like in some old school SNES style games.
