Transparent Event

A lightweight plugin for RPG Maker MV & MZ that automatically makes events turn transparent when the player walks behind them.

Perfect for trees, roofs, bridges, statues, or any object that hides the character — no more invisible sprites or manual opacity switching.

Features

Simple Comment-Based Setup

Just add a comment inside any event :

<transparent>

No parameters, no configuration files. Everything stays inside your events.

Per-Event Transparency

Each event can have its own opacity value. Perfect for fine-tuning every object on your map.

Group System

Multiple events can share the same transparency trigger using groups :

<transparent: 150, group:A>

When the player touches **any** event of the group, **all** events of that group become transparent at once. Ideal for large objects made of several tiles (big trees, buildings, multi-tile statues…).

Smooth Fade

Transparency doesn't pop instantly — it fades smoothly for a natural feel.

Works Everywhere

Compatible with RPG Maker MV and MZ, no setup difference between versions.

Use Cases

- Forests where trees hide the character

- Villages with roofs and buildings the player can walk behind

- Bridges, arches, and statues

- Any scene where the player disappears behind a tall object

- Grouped objects (multi-tile trees, big structures) that need to fade together

How To Use

1. Add a comment inside your event

Single event :

<transparent>

Default opacity:

<transparent: 150>

Event linked to a group :

<transparent: 150, group:A>

2. That's it.

The event becomes transparent when the player walks on it or behind it — automatically.

I looked at the demo. Are these shapes that are made transparent events or tiles?

Hi, for now it's only functional with images triggered by events.
