Only just noticed this post. You probably know this by now but this in the general forums.

Still having the problem?

All I can say is that "PickTile()" returns nothing if no tile exists at that world location. Not really enough info to help any further, sorry.

The T2D reference doc says

Quote:pickTile()
Picks a tile.
(int tileX / int tileY )
tileX/Y Selected Tile.
Returns the logical tile position (x / y) if valid else returns nothing. All rotation and panning is taken into account.

which makes it sound like it's expecting a row and column id parameter instead of a worldPosition parameter.

Maybe that's why he was using 0 0 (int tile X / int tile Y)

This is an old post! ;)

This doco typo has been mentioned a few times in the past and was amended.

Here's the new entry...

Quote:
pickTile() Picks a tile. ( x / y )

%values = %obj.pickTile( "100 50" )

X/Y World Position.

Returns the logical tile position (x / y) if one exists at the specified world-position else
returns nothing. All rotation and panning is taken into account.

Hope this helps,
