Making wild Pokémon appear indoors

Hi everyone,
In the game I am making, part of the story requires you to go into an abandoned light house, which is now inhabitied by wild Pokémon. The problem is that I do not know how to program the game to allow random battles using the "inside" tilesets. Basically, I want to have battles randomly start as I'm walking through the building. Thanks in advance! :)

Are you having trouble setting what pokemon appear or getting the tiles to spawn the pokemon you set?

Getting the tiles. The only ways I know of to have a random battle start are in grass, water, or caves.

Make the lighthouse a cave encounter.

Sorry, I'm still pretty new at this. How would I go about doing so? Do I just added the necessary tiles to the cave tileset?

You can edit a tileset's terrain tags in the database.
For a list of terrain tags, look here:

Thank you Applesauce262! This is exactly what I was trying to do! It's so close to being perfect. The last thing I need to do with this is to remove the grass rustle animation when walking around. But I only want this to happen inside the buildings, not while actually walking on grass.

I think you can remove the bush flag in the database. Not sure if that is what is causing the grass rustle animation or not. Still kind of new myself.

If your run the game through rpgmaker. Go into your menu and move down to debug and scroll through the list to find "SET ENCOUNTORS" pick your map and make the encountor type a cave. then you don't need to have grass tiles.

Please don't listen to Applesauce. He's confusing you.

As others have said, use cave encounters. It's incredibly simple and exactly what you want, and it won't mess up anything else.

Isn't the bush flag what causes the grass rustle animation though?

EDIT: Never mind I see what you are saying, sorry about that.

The grass rustling animation is caused by stepping on a tile with terrain tag 1 (Grass). Another effect of terrain tag 1 is that, when you step on it, you may trigger a wild encounter.

The bush flag makes your feet disappear.

Oh ok, sorry, haven't messed around much with wild battles yet, I was just going off of what I know.

Thanks Maruno! I was definitely over complicating things. I works exactly how I want.

I gave you the answer over 24 hours ago... Clearly you didn't even try it... Sometimes I think to myself, why do I bother?!

You should always try to help, Nicklooose! If you see a question you can answer, answer it :) . You've helped so many people with their problems.
