[Help workshop] Map help thread

I want to know how to link certain areas together with AMAP. For example, my hack will have new areas since its basically FR, with new areas, and features. I want to make a new map then insert it to a new area and link it to another area. Is this possible?

I need to know a few Pokemon ID's. D:

Yes, it is possible.
You click on the four arrows thing. It's a connector map. You can Add one, say which direction is goes to and put in the map number. The offset is to move the map left or right (or up or down) to put it in the right position.

Like if there was an exit from a town that is 20 Squares wide
----------x---------

And the map your connecting it to it only 10 pixels wide and the exit is there
----x-----

If you didn't set the offset the maps would connect like this.

----x-----
----------x---------

And it wouldn't work. You have to set the offset so it would end up like this.
Offset

----------x-----
----------x---------

The maps should have opposite offsets of each other. (i.e. 12 and -12)

Hope that helped.

Anyone know how to (if it is possible) make it so when you step on a tile, a tile is on top of you, but when you are on the tile below it, you appear on top of it. like, the 'up' part of a tile appears on top of you only when you step on the tile. ?

Movement Permission 3C.
Let's see... Imagine you have a bridge.
Set it's MP as 3C
Where you'd go under, set the place as normal height.
Where you'd go above, set the Movement permission that part as higher (10?) and put 00 next to it.
If you don't understand, I'll give you a screenshot.

hi i made a map, and its a route i want usea warp to go to anthoer route i made the warps and everything and when i walkk up to the warp it does nto teleport me there can anyone help

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

The tile has to be set to be a warp.
Anyway, why would you want to warp to another route? Then the screen will go black and stuff.
Just change the map connections for that route to go to the other route! The Map Connections thing is the four arrows in A-Map.

no theres no one there yet its a new map

 

[.:God:.]

Do any of you know why this happens?

Spoiler:

Do any of you know why this happens?

Are you using Neti's rom base? It could be because those tiles are located in the bottom right corner of the tileset. You need to remove everything from the bottom line except the first 6 8x8 pixels.

In my hack, whenever I go from Route 81 to a town, and then back, the game Freezes. Not glitches up, Freezes.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?

I think It has something to do with map conections:\

This should go in Simple Questions(I think)

i think this is the right place to post this: in advance map her are two saffron cities one has events and one doesnt can anyone explain this im just curios about it

The one without events is bigger as well I think, I've wondered about this too. I don't think that there is any real significance though. They probably just forgot to delete the map or something. AFAIK theres no way to access the second Saffron in-game.

 

[DarkShadow]

so how do I fix my problem I warp to a route and the screen goes black

Hmm, I beleive that the empty one is there because of the tile errors you get when passing directly into the city, you see how on one, the hallway is part of the city, and isn't on the other; its so, when you are in the city, you cant see out, and when outside the city, you can't see in?
Thats what I thik.
