This script implements Areas (or Regions) in RPG maker XP, so they work the same way as in more modern RPG maker versions.
They work in parallel with terrain tags without changing anything on them, and the way to check them via script is also very similar.
To set them, execute your game in Debug mode and press F8. The option of placing the areas directly along the map using the mouse will be activated. To change the area index, press Q / W (or Page Down / Page Up) and use the directional arrows to scroll across the map. The changes will be saved in real time.
Spoiler: Side notes
If you're using the Grid-Free Doodads script I made some years ago, it has Area Support already integrated.
If you are using another Mouse script in your game, you can remove the Glitchfinder Key and Mouse and use the one you are already using (the methods in the Setup Mode script will have to be adapted).

Instructions
Download the demo and copy the four scripts on your game:
Key Input,
Mouse,
Area Base and
Area Setup.
There's not much to it apart from that.
You can define areas that are always passable or non-passable on the start of Area Base, and you can change the debug button (F8) on Area Setup.
Demo:
Area Support 1.1.zip
Spoiler: Script calls
Check the area on a map coordinate
$game_map.area(X, Y)
Set the area of a map coordinate by event
$game_map.set_area(X, Y, Area ID)
Get the current area of the player or an event
$game_player.area
$game_map.events[Event ID].area
This script also has some script addons available. I'll include a few below.
Spoiler: Addon - Event Area Restrictions
This little script allows to make some areas passable or non-passable for certain events or the player.
Ruby:
For example:
$game_map.events[Event ID].set_passable(Area ID)
$game_player.set_passable(Area ID)
You can use set_passable, set_no_passable, clear_passable and clear_no_passable.
Spoiler: Addon - Area Helper
This little script allows to define some descriptions on certain areas that will display when setting them, so you won't have to remember which IDs you had to use.
