My current biggest gripe with SoM is they did not build in a counter or switch to toggle by having certain things equipped. Please, someone correct me if I am wrong..I would love to be wrong here.
It can be done in a limited way by using the Strength/Magic stat. It's easier to do in games like Trismegistus where those stats aren't already in use for regular game combat.
To walk across bottomless pits for instance, you would have a pair of boots that when equipped increase the player's MAG stat to a value that couldn't be reached any other way. Then use events to 'plug' the pits when the MAGIC stat is at that unique value. This technique is only usable in some limited scenarios, but it's better than nothing. I'll send you an update of the Event Demo that shows what I'm talking about. Ignore the 'water passage' behind the start point; that event demo isn't complete yet.
