Tileset creation?
-
Wonderful!! thank you so very much.
if I uhmm might be really cheeky and ask one related thing, when I'm pasting the tiles in the map editor, how do I know they are in the center of the screen?
(for some reason the blue lines that mark what I assumed was the middle of my screen in the map editor, is not. my tile images are off to one side and partially off screen) -
@SteveZX81 So I am learning here too. To bring the map into the middle of the screen you need to do
centrespritecamera(0,0) -
Thanks again, its much appreciated!

I have found a nice tileset in the assets I can use (which is infinitely better than anything I could draw) but when I add the tiles they are huge!!
I've had a mooch at the command list but I don't see a command I could use to change the scale of the tiles, is it possible? -
@SteveZX81 try setSpriteCamera(0, 0, 0.5) to zoom out the camera so that it appears half the size
-
is that the only way? (I'm not using setspritecamera right now as it weirdly knocked out all my sprites.)
but thanks anyway! -
@SteveZX81 I am not going to say that it is becuase I have not had much experience of using maps. Maybe one for @Dave
-
@SteveZX81 My son and I were doing the game tutorials last night, and the call to actually draw the tile sprite accepted a scale as, I think, its last parameter. Can you try using that?
-
I use "drawmaplayer(map)" to draw the map and that doesn't seem to have a scale option.
I'm now using setspritecamera(0,0,0.5) which zooms-out. its not ideal but it works and that's all that matters but thanks anyway, much appreciated! -
@SteveZX81 Oh, I haven't tried the map editor or related functions yet.
-
@SteveZX81 There is new improved map editor functionality on the way in a future update. You'll be able to change the scale of, and rotate tiles that you're placing. In the meantime, you'll have to draw the tiles at a different scale in your code I'm afraid!
-
Wonderful! Thank you.

Thanks for creating this topic. I thought we could only use the tilesets created by other users, I couldn't figure out how to turn my assets into tiles for the map editor.
