Okay, I'm looking for a script that detects when an enemy is in tall grass/shallow water, and puts the appropriate tile over the enemy so it actually looks like they are in tall grass/shallow water!
I think I've seen a script around here somewhere like this (using FFCs, I believe), but I can't for the life of me find it.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Untested but I have this:

CODE

import "std.zh"

//Set it to your water splash combo id
const WATERSPLASH_COMBO = 0;

//Set it to your water splash cset
const WATERSPLASH_CSET = 0;

global script activeScript
{
    void run()
    {
        while(true)
        {
            for(int i = 1; i <= Screen->NumNPCs(); i++)
            {
                npc enemy = Screen->LoadNPC(i);
                if(IsWater(ComboAt(CenterX(enemy),CenterY(enemy)))
                    Screen->FastCombo(1,enemy->X,enemy->Y,WATERSPLASH_COMBO,WATERSPLASH_CSET,128);
            }
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

One thing that might not work perfectly well is the position where the splash is drawn. It will work fine on 1 tile enemies and splash combo but it will have an offset if it's applied to bigger enemies...

This script will be applied in the whole quest.

IsWater() only detects deep water. You'd want Screen->ComboT[ComboAt(CenterX(enemy), CenterY(enemy))]==CT_SHALLOWWATER.

Awesome. The FastCombos should be on an upper layer, so it appears over the enemies, but that's an easy fix. I used this as a template to make it work for tall grass, too- it works (reasonably) well, meaning it USUALLY shows up.
I also added '&& enemy->Z == 0' to the if statement, so jumping enemies like Tektites don't show it unless they are one the ground. Next, I'll refine it so certain enemies use a different set of graphics, or don't trigger the effect- like DigKids; I always thought they they flew, but realize now that wouldn't work for collision detection, etc.
Anyway, thank you for your help!
