Orange Event Hitboxes - Make larger events

Introduction
This plugin will let you change the size of events, so that they trigger collisions and events on a bigger area

How to Use
First of all, activate the plugin on your plugin manager.

There are 4 tags that can be used to configure the event hitboxes:
<hitboxX:0>
<hitboxY:0>
<hitboxWidth:1>
<hitboxHeight:1>
The hitboxX and hitboxY tags are used to relocate the top left position of the hitbox. The default value is 0.
The hitboxWidth and hitboxHeight tags are used to resize the hitbox. The default value is 1.

All values are on tiles. If you change hitboxX to -1:
<hitboxX:-1>
then the hitbox will start one tile to left of where it would usually start.

Those tags can be added to the event notes. If you want a different size for a specific page, you can add those tags on a comment on that page and the plugin will understand that it should use that configuration for that specific page.

Hudell, won't you try to make the pixel collition too? Since you asked for it in other thread, I'm really hyped about it and I'm kinda waiting for you for mapping in parallax ^^'

I will, but I still have a few other plugins with higher priority.

Any chance for decimal/increment support?

I'm using this along with your pixel movement script, so being able to resize them based on decimal input would be nice (I tried inputing 1.5 for hitbox height, but it's still treated as 1).

My pixel movement script allow you to set the height and width for the actors using pixels, on the same format as this script, but this script is not necessary for that.
Events can only be changed in tiles for now. I plan to change it to support pixel sizes at some point, but that will be a lot of code to write and I have many other plugins I want to do first, so it may take a while.

Ah, I see. I'm currently fine with the actor sizes so far; it's just events I'm more concerned with since there may come a time when I'll be using a large sprite.

Our parallaxing anxiety will wait just a few :D

I'd like not putting salt on the wound but suddenly I found this https://twitter.com/QuasiXi/status/658782040741904384

Awesome.

My script already has pixel collision working too, I just need to make some way for the user to configure it :)

I found a very small error, the name of the script at the top says

Just thought I'd let you know.

Oops. Thanks for reporting it.

Someone else told me they would be making a plugin for pixel collision compatible with Orange Movement, so I won't be working on that for now. But if nothing shows up, I'll think about that again.

Awesome plugin.  Is it possible to set the hitbox based on direction? I have a few objects (like cars/person holding large object) that change their width/height depending on the direction they are facing.

Hey Hudell! No problems with your script (in fact, it works really really well and I love it very much~) but I do have a question: The first post says that it's dependent on the MVCommons plugin/framework, right? That plugin doesn't seem to need to be ON or even in the plugin list for the hitbox plugin to function correctly, so what's the relationship between the two and how do they interact?

MVCommons is a failed attempt to standardize some plugins. The idea was to avoid having each scripter have their own "Core" plugin like it was so common with Ace. It failed because as far as I know only 4 scripters embraced it.
Back when I first created the EventHitboxes plugin, MVCommons was a dependency, but I later changed it to work without it.

@Hudell ahhhhh gotcha. That's a shame about the commons standardization, but it's neat that it works without it! Thank you for making such a useful plugin! :kaocry:

Thanks for linking me to this plugin, there is however something I'm not understanding.

I have an event that is 3 tiles long and my settings are.
<hitboxX:-3><hitboxX:1>
When the " - " is added to the tags, the event is no longer a solid barrier.
Strangely enough when the X value is 3 or less- the event is only solid in one tile space.

Is there also a method to altering the hitbox when an event is facing a different direction? I'm curious to know because graphics can appear shorter when facing down if you take perspective into it.

What is the maximum recommended size for an event's hit box?

Hello Hudell, can you help me with an event of a shark! I'm using your pluging to rezise the shark collision box, but, I'm doing something wrong. the orange square is the event, and the yellow boxes cover the area that I want collision.
The shark will only have horizontal movement.
Here is the event page. Maybe and hope, you can help me... Thankyou.

I don't remember if the plugin accepts comments or if you need to put those tags on the notes, but hitbox X should be -3 and hitboxy should be -1. (you added hitbox X twice)
