Setshape Problem

Hey Guys,

After quitting graal for a while, I've decided to take scripting back up. However, I am trying to refresh my memory of how setshape and setshape2 work.

I do remember that setshape is for pixels and setshape2 is for tiles. But do not remember how sethshape functions.

For example say this was a box for a chance event.

Would I be using setshape2? and how would I go about the width and height etc in a (,,,) format?

Thanks a lot,
Clarke

If it's just a rectangle, you should be using setShape(). setShape2() is useful for shapes that are not just simple rectangles, and can also be used to change tile types in an easy manner.

PHP Code:


		
			
setShape(1, 64, 48);

// rectangle with width = 64 pixels = 4 tiles and height = 48 pixels = 3 tiles; first argument should always be 1



setShape2(3, 2,

  { 3, 3, 3,

     3, 3, 3 });

// rectangle, three by two tiles (first two arguments are width and height); the third argument is an array containing

// the tiletypes of the shape in order, starting at the top left, going row by row; here you can use 0 to basically "ignore"

// a tile, because that's the non-blocking tiletype (see  http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Tiletype)
