    Legacy GM Making tiles vanish when the player touches them?

    I'm trying to figure out how to make hidden areas behind tiles, if you go behind them they drop their alpha. I figured out how to do this for objects but I figure it would be more efficient to use tiles, more variety that way, how do I do this? I don't mind if all the hidden tiles turn alpha.
