My scripts would become way easier if I could use one of two commands:

either "suspend/resume harm tiles",
or "get harm tile damage"

Do either of these exist and I just missed them?

I don't know, but you can probably check for a certain variable or something and, if true, take away however much damage from the party.

Also, something I was curious about, is if you put a harm tile on one animated tile, but nothing on the rest in the animation, will it only hurt on that frame?

[Bagne]

That's sort of what I had in mind.
I want to suspend the harm tile damage momentarily. If I can read the amount of damage that the tile dishes out, I can store the value in a global variable, set the harm tile damage to zero with "set harm tile damage" and reset the damage later when I want to "resume".
To do this I need some sort of "read harm tile damage" command.

No, harm tile mapping acts like wall mapping. The appearance of the tile (animated or not) is independent of the wall mapping / harm mapping. Triggering of the harm tile's effect only happens by walking onto the tile.

While there's no way to suspend harm tile damage globally, you can change the harmtile damage and flash colour for the current map. Use

Oo!
Undocumented treasure!

Dang it, I might as well just document that darn command. :P

Or add getharmtileflash/damage.

I'm not very comfortable with patching the compiled plotscr.hsd scripts in a game, if that's what you're suggesting as an alternative.
