AddToLevel Conflicts with Tile Maps

#1 I can never remember what to do either. I *think* you have to create a tileLayer and then add the tileLayer to the scene's tileMap. I don't think you need to add the layer to the sceneGraph, just the tileMap.

Also, remember to set the size of the layer, it is something I forget to do all the time. All the time.

#2 Sliver_TGB in the IRC room thought something along those lines too. Which is a bit odd to me, because I didn't know there was one tile *map* for the scenegraph, and then you add tile *layers* to that tile map, but the layers can be independently positioned and have different tile sizes. It seems contrary to conventional thought.

It's too late for me to try it tonight, but I see t2dSceneGraph.getGlobalTileMap(); I assume that's what I have to add the tile layers too? I'll give it a go tomorrow after I get back from my morning mountain bike ride. :)

Thanks

#3 Here is the code you want:

%tileMap = sceneWindow2D.getSceneGraph().getGlobalTileMap();
 
%tileLayer = %tilemap.createTileLayer(1, 1, 1, 1);
 
// Important!!! Must load a *template* layer
// The layer can be found in your <TGB DIR>\tgb\tools\levelEditor\scripts\forms\objectLibrary folder
%tileLayer.loadTileLayer(expandFileName("~/data/tilemaps/newLayer.lyr"));
 
// You can now do whatever you want to the layer
...
%fileName = expandFileName("~/data/tilemaps/testLayer.lyr");
%tileLayer.saveTileLayer(%fileName);
