Is there such a function as "Read foemap"?

I'm looking for ways to store extra information in a maptile. I won't be using the foemaps, so I thought this might be a good way.

Alas, I am fairly certain that there is no such function.

Make all of your ground on Layer 1 then write the tiles on Layer 0 to store information?

I might use harm tiles - the tiles in mind are barriers - so the player will never be able to step on it.

See, I'm considering making an obstacle that a hero can jump over. I want to be able to distinguish "jumpable" obstacles from "non jumpable" ones - I thought I might do this with foemapping. Oh well.

I'd prefer letting the player jump anywhere, but that's significantly more difficult than just triggering jumps with invisible NPCs.

You could let the player jump either whenever the tile in front of them is unpassable and a harm tile, or whenever the tiles in front of them are walkable.

I've been meaning to make the foemap accessible to scripts for a while. It might happen before Ypsiliform, but it doesn't sound like you really need it.

I was thinking just that - a harm tile with all 4 walls.
Such a tile could only be a hoppable tile - there's no conceivable reason for such a tile to otherwise exist.

Thanks.

I know - you said it! I was just repeating you. I assumed you said

[Bagne]

Oh - so I did.
Sorry, I'm not reading previous posts, and being confusing.
