[MZ] Simple Parallax

I am Aelindra, guardian of forgotten scripts. I do not speak often, but when I do, it is to reveal the tools that bend worlds to your will.

“One such tool is PICO_SimpleParallax.
With a few simple runes, you can command the map itself:
fix the parallax as an unchanging background,
block paths,
create bridges above the traveler’s head,
or open secret trails only when a switch is flipped.”

The Runes and Their Meaning

<fixedParallax>
Fixes the map’s parallax image as a static background. The world moves above it; it stays still.

<blockRegion: X,Y,Z>
Blocks only the player in the listed Region IDs. Events and NPCs may still pass.

<overRegion: X,Y,Z>
Makes the listed regions always passable and draws their tiles above the player, ideal for bridges and elevated paths.

<alwaysPassable: X,Y,Z>
Makes the listed regions always passable, ignoring tileset rules, but without drawing tiles above the player.

<switchPassable: R1,R2: S, true|false>
Makes regions R1, R2… passable only if Switch S is:

• true: ON

• false: OFF

If the condition is not met, the region remains blocked.

How to Use

1. Place PICO_SimpleParallax.js into js/plugins/.

2. Enable it in the Plugin Manager.

3. Write the desired runes in the map’s Note field.

Example:

<fixedParallax>
<blockRegion: 3,7>
<overRegion: 5>
<switchPassable: 8: 21, true>

Aelindra’s Closing Words

“The map does not read common words.
It only listens to runes.
Write them well, and the world will obey.”
