Simple enough,
Is there a way I can check hero wall for multiple tiles away?
Check hero wall (me,right,2)
that won't work will it?

You want to check for a wall without having th hero walk over to it?
Yes, that can be done, but it is pretty complicated.
you have to use the "read map block" "read pass block" command, and you have to check two tiles to be sure you found the wall. It would be possible to wrap all that complexity into a simple script like the "check hero wall" command you are envisioning.
EDIT: I am writing some scripts that do this

If you want to check for a wall, that's read pass block. If you want to check for the tile, that's read map block.

Let me know if this works for you.

Oh wow, I totally didn't see any map block commands when I was first looking at this.
Ultimately, I am trying to have a keypress function for jumping anywhere in a dungeon hence why I need to detect walls that are 2 tiles away.
Edit: That definitely works James, thanks
