Micro tip: Placing multiple events in the same location

Heyo!

I should start with a disclaimer: I have under 40 hours in RMVX Ace, so I'm no pro by any means.

I have, however, managed to do this nifty little trick which you might find helpful.

This can be useful if you used an event to place shadows and want to place an NPC underneath it, for example.

To place multiple events in the same location, create 3 events:

Event A will be placed normally.

Events B and C will be placed somewhere obscure, like in an unreachable area of the map.

Make event C a parallel process. Add in the following command:

Set event location (Event (xyz,xyz)(xyz,xyz) being the coordinates of Event A, as we want to place event B there.

That's all there is to it! I believe you can place up to 3 events on top of each other by setting their priorities correctly, but I haven't tried that myself.

I should note that this method has its limits. For example, Event B will not be able to move around (I.E NPC will be stuck in place). Also, I have no idea what will happen if both events have actual commands in them and they are both activated at the same time. Try it out at your own risk!
