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

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?

The co-ords of grass are not that at all. They're (15,127).

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.
