Chrono Trigger internals - Z-Plane

[thegreatcapybara]

Hello!

I'm studying how does Chrono Trigger uses Z-Planes to create many perceived "levels" on a single map.
I understand trivial cases like how do the two planes interact, transitional neutral, solid and walkable tiles but as far as I can see there are additional properties on each map tile. I'm wondering if someone knows what does the Solidity Mod integer and ZPlane Solidity flag do?

Thank you in advance!

not sure if this is allowed or not? there is a certain site on the net dedicated to romhacking, you might find some knowledgeable peeps there.

I was wondering the same thing but I don't want to change the ROM - I just want to know how does it work. Chrono Trigger Mechanics Guide (http://www.gamefaqs.com/snes/563538-chrono-trigger/faqs/14148) is still online all those years so I hope it's fine.

Thanks for the tip and have a nice day!

The CT Mechanics Guide is a LOT shorter than the FF7 one but the basics of battle are there.
Just out of curiosity - which aspect of the CT mechanics are you interested in? (I'm no expert in this, just wondering what is missing in the guide).
