How to acess a tile

by zackl · in Torque Game Builder · 08/04/2010 (5:05 pm) · 4 replies

Hey could someone tell me how I can access a tile/tiles in script that is assigned a particular imagemap.
would it be something like this.
%this.t2dTileLayer.image = "imageMap"

I am trying to use an if statement that grabs a tile that I have a background image on.
thanks for any help.

Try this:
%this.setStaticTile(%x, %y, ImageMapName, %frameNumber);

This link explains all.

thank you for your reply.I looked at the documentation but I don't see anyway to access a tile that already has a imageMap on it.I don't want all the tiles the same I am trying just to set custom data on particular tiles.Maybe I am just not getting it. I really hate being a n00b.

Ahh, sorry, it seemed from the code that you posted, that you were trying to set the image map for a tile.

Are you trying to get the image map that is on the tile or the custom data that is set on the tile?

I am trying to set the custom data on a tile based on if it has a image map on it or not. Basically I went through the match 3 tutorial and I am trying to figure out how to have different layouts instead of just a square grid. I am thinking it needs to be based off the background of the the tile as to wether or not a tile will get generated.If that makes any sense... it has been a long night and my brain hurts.. oh how I love coffee.
