Really like the puzzle!

For a short cut you could make the player spawn beneath a tile which covers the player? Just make an identical floor tile with the down tile copied in to the up tile section? :3

Then let the levelscript change the player sprite, then after use the setmaptile command to change it to a normal tile and reveal the cursor.

About VRAM I mean the area the game stores all the graphics of the game (sprite, tiles etc.). Basically, by modifying the bytes in VRAM you can make sprites, tiles and that kind of stuff look different before they're re-loaded again.

"I'm not 100% sure how to write to the VRAM. I agree it makes it look messy but I'm not sure how to fix it I'm afraid ;__; "

You actually need assembly to do this (because it's much less effortless than by doing with scripting only). You'd have to make the script call for a loop code. This is basically used to "copy --> paste" data from rom/ram area into another.
You can for example load the red square somewhere from the rom data and then copy its graphics to VRAM and replace player's sprite that way.

(And yeah, I forgot that the script I told about in my latest message calls for this kind of assembly code so it's not a pure script although I said it was...)

But as Swiftsign's suggestion sounds doable (and especially easier than mine unless you get someone to do the assembly script for you), go for it!

Thanks, and that could work, I'll use that if there's not a more proper solution :3

edit: Yeah, miksy that does seem like a lot of work. I think I will go with Swift's suggestion. Thanks for the help though, both of you guys ;3

Thanks again dude :D

Just posting to say that I've taken down that previous video and reuploaded a new video which shows the new area image (courtesy of cuddlesthefatcat - credit also goes to the epic DrFuji for helping me insert the image) and got rid of some of the bugs shown in the original video (such as the brief moment where you see the overworld sprite of the player change).

Enjoy!

To early people, it may not have finished processing yet. Come back later :3
