What is "setActiveTile"??

#1 Active tiles describe a tile base in the engine that you can customise to create your own behaviour/rendering.

It requires you to create them in C++. You can then specify your own custom tile-types from scripts using the function/datablock you mention.

For a little more information (and movies of this) you can read one of my old plans here.

#2 Um..... thanks.

now I know I need to use C++ if I want to use them.

Is there any tutorial about it? As it seem to be great.

#3 There are not tutorials on using them unfortunately as they're a pretty low-level and specialised feature. Someday we'll have tutorials on all this stuff.

#4 I know this is old but I was wonder if there was a location that I could view the Active Tile movies at. They don't appear to be on the sight anymore.

#5 @Brandon: As per your request I have updated the links in the original plan.

If you notice any more like this then please let me know.

#6 If you need any help on using these then please drop me an email, I'll be glad to help.

#7 Melv, you've made WAY to many blogs only to be overshadowed by the quantity of forum posts!

I will set some time aside to read over all of your old T2D blogs, just to make sure that you implemented all of those promised features ;)

#8 @Melv: Thank you for the quick reply I will take a look at them in the morning thank you for your help.

#9 Again, this an old thread, but none of the movie links work. Is there another place where I can grab these movies?

#10 They are all still on that server. I will enquire why they cannot be linked to.

EDIT: Support ticket has been raised.

#11 The movie links and pictures are not working...

You have to do a checkup on that support ticket ;)
