RPG Maker MV 3D Tileset: Troubleshooting Passability Issues

As a developer working with RPG Maker MV, you may encounter passability issues when creating your own tilesets in the 3D mode. One common problem is that some tiles seem to behave like boxes, allowing characters to enter but not exit from certain directions.

Recently, I experienced this issue myself while testing my brick tileset. I created a separate wall with just the brick tile and found that it acted like a box, allowing me to enter from the bottom but only exit in the direction I first entered. This behavior was consistent across all connected tiles.

While this may seem counterintuitive at first, it's actually due to the way RPG Maker MV handles passability settings for 3D tilesets. According to Hajami, rooftop tiles can be entered from their borders, but if you connect them to other tiles, characters will be able to run on top of them.

To resolve this issue, I recommend resetting your tileset and re-examining the passability settings. It's possible that there is a bug or glitch affecting the behavior of your tileset. Additionally, you can try using events to repel players from certain areas, but preventing them from moving forward into impassable tiles.

Fortunately, RPG Maker MV provides an easy way to make tilesets impassable. By setting the 'passability' attribute for your tileset in the Database > Tilesets tab, you can ensure that characters cannot move through specific tiles. This feature is especially useful when creating custom tilesets and ensuring that players follow a specific path or route.

If you're still experiencing issues with passability, it may be worth checking out the default new-project tilesets, which are correctly prepared to work seamlessly within RPG Maker MV. You can also consult the Help > Contents section under Database > Tileset Settings for more information on preparing and customizing your own tilesets.

In conclusion, while creating a 3D tileset in RPG Maker MV can be challenging, there are ways to troubleshoot common passability issues and ensure that your game runs smoothly. By understanding how to set up passability settings and using events to control player movement, you can create immersive and engaging gameplay experiences for your players.
