help me out will ya...(boards)

yes hi....uhmm... with the boards where you change tiles...
with updateboard etc...how do you know what tile has what id????
i mean it takes me hours to find the right tile i want...
please help me out, and please do not spam this topic...

Basically, you can get a tile's id by doing this:
board[x+y*64]
In which x and y are the x and y positions of the tile in the level
However if you want to know the ID of a tile to replace it with you use the following calculation:
tilex+tiley*16
tilex and tiley are displayed under he location from which you normally select tiles in the editor if you hold your mouse over a tile.
updateboard then needs to be done after any tile changes to make it visible, although the changes can only be seen by the player who is "running" the script.

thank you,
I was looking for that (tilex+tiley*16)

I got another question about this...
is it possible that you can add something in the code to let more tiles change without pasting everytime

board[blabla]=blabla;
updateboard blabla;?

please help me out cause I'm annoying myself as hell of all that pasting
maybe i didn't saw something...but thats cause its 2:42 am so please do not think i'm asking something stupid...
thank you

nm
i also just can use variables like this.x and this.y
...

what do you mean ?
you can run a function ..
but the code would be like

board[x+64*y]=tilex+16*tiley;
updateboard x,y,1,1;

or whatever...

i know that liquid
but i mean i wanted to know if i can change more tiles in one code so i don't have to copy and paste a million times
but now i tried this and it worked

board[this.x+this.y*64]=tilex+tiley*16;
updateboard this.x,this.y,1,1;

now add a timeout out and stuff and you're done...
please correct me if i'm wrong..

I would just make a function and call it netime i need to change something
like I would make

NPC Code:

---

this.tilex=20;

this.tiley=18;

this.x=10;

this.y=30;

replacetile();



function replacetile() {

board[this.x+this.y*64]=this.tilex+this.tiley*16;

updateboard this.x,this.y,1,1;

}
