Capture Mouse Click on a Tile Map

by Mark Newnam · in Torque Game Builder · 05/10/2007 (12:02 pm) · 3 replies

I have searched for help on capturing mouse clicks but can't seem to get it working. I am using TGB 1.5 Indie and am working with a level that has a tilemap on it. What I want to be able to do is capture where a mouse click occured on the tilemap and return the X/Y position so I can change the tile that was clicked.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks,
Mark

In an onMouseDown event you can send the world position to the pickTile function and it will return the coords if any of what tile is under that position.

@Mark:

[edit] Actually I'm used to my own map stuff, you have to use the tile layers or scene window.

Will update in a minute with a better example.

Neo,

I got it working, thanks. What I did was pretty close to what you mentioned originally.

Thanks for the help.
