Tiles script
 

[code]
if(tiles[playerx+1.5,playery+2]==1898){
[code]

Ok my question is this, how do i translate the tileset into the number at the end, say if i wanted grass how would i know what to put?

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

  message #v(tiles[x,y]);

}

---

i believe the grass tile is 511

I dont actually need that tile, it was an example, i need to know how to work them out

I read somewhere awhile back how to do this.... can't remember any of it =/

-Jinx

i know theres a simple way to find the tile number based on its place in the tiles by useing hex nums but i dont remember it

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters||timeout) {

  message #v(tiles[x,y]);

  timeout = .05;

}

---

Lay a bunch of tiles out, and then open notepad :D

When you move over a tile in the editor it
gives you the tile on the status bar on the lower
right corner. It gives you a (x,y), to convert it
to a tile number just do x+y*16, or in hex
0x[y as hex number][x as hex number]

Oh so thats how lol

ok so the grass tile is x=15 y=31

so

15+31*16=511
or
(15+31)*16=736

neither one works, with that tile command so am i doing somet wrong?

i think he was using the x and y in the level :D

There are 3 grass tiles :)
all on the very bottom row..

yes i know, and i didnt mean to quote kai up above, some guy said that it wasn't working for him, he was using the level coordinates, not the tile set

You have to turn 511, or 736 into HEX and use the hex value. (just open up windows calculator, go in advanced mode, and switch from decimal to hex (after the number is shown in decimal) and it will convert it for you.

Or you can just put "15+31*16" in as the tile value, that works also.

Try using

NPC Code:

---

updateboard x,y,width,height;

---

when you change the tiles on the board... and you don't have to use hex.

Or, in Laymens (sp?) Terms:

Open a paint program that has a grid
Each tile is 16x16, just look at the number and divide it by 16...
I'm pretty sure that'll work.

you are all making it harder than it has to be
