Smart Tile Control for RPG Maker MZ

A beginner-friendly yet powerful plugin that lets you block or unblock tiles during gameplay using region IDs, coordinates, switches, and variables - no codingneeded. Ideal for puzzle designers, event crafters, and experienced devs who want more control over player movement.

Overview

Whether you're new to RPG Maker MZ or a seasoned plugin developer, Smart Tile Control gives you intuitive tools to change tile passability on the fly. You can make a tile impassable with a single event command or automatically block off regions when a switch or variable hits a certain value.

This plugin helps you build smarter puzzles, dynamic traps, stealth paths, and reconfigurable maps — all without diving into code.

Designed for All Skill Levels

• Beginners: Everything is configured through plugin parameters and event commands. No coding or JavaScript required.
• Advanced users: Supports conditional logic, DotMove compatibility, and integrates cleanly with custom movement or event systems.

Key Features

• Easy Plugin Commands:
  • Block or unblock any tile by coordinate (x, y).
  • Clear all overrides with one command.
• Region Blocking Logic:
  • Mark tiles using Region IDs in the map editor.
  • Toggle blocking via a switch or a variable with comparison (e.g., >= 2, = 5, < 7).
• Flexible Character Targeting:
  • Apply blocking to just the player or to all events.
• DotMove Support:
  • Works seamlessly with pixel-based movement if you’re using DotMoveUtils.

Use Cases

• Puzzle Room: Mark tiles with Region ID 3 and block them while a timer variable is active. As time passes, the path reopens.
• Environmental Hazard: Electrify floor panels by setting tiles (6,2), (6,3), and (6,4) as impassable during a trap sequence.
• Cutscene Gate: Use a switch to block all Region ID 5 tiles during a story cutscene, then restore normal movement afterwards.

Fast Setup

1. Drop the plugin in your js/plugins folder.
2. Enable it in the Plugin Manager.
3. Set parameters — no scripts, no hassle.
4. Use simple plugin commands like AddImpassableTile and RemoveImpassableTile in any event.

Everything is designed to be readable, reliable, and reusable. Whether you're experimenting for the first time or building a tactical movement system, this plugin gives you complete control without slowing you down.
