Showing level lines

[Emera]

I was wondering, how would I make a script determine what level I am in, detect the outline of the level and show them using lines? Like FowlPlay4's OLNE. If anybody can help me out with this, it would be great!

You could just draw 64 horizontal lines, and 64 vertical lines to 'outline' it.

I.e:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  for (temp.x = 0; temp.x < 64; temp.x++) {
    with (findimg(200 + temp.x)) {
      polygon = {
        temp.x, 0, temp.x, 64
      };
    }
  }
  for (temp.y = 0; temp.y < 64; temp.y++) {
    with (findimg(300 + temp.y)) {
      polygon = {
        0, temp.y, 64, temp.y
      };
    }
  }
} 


You'll have to tweak for GMAPs though by calculating the top-left position. You can see how I do it in my OLNE code.

I just found through echoing that the level width is 640 x 640 (64 X 64)
I have been studying your code for neatly 2 hours and I seem to be getting nowhere.

A level is 64 times 64 tiles in size. Just show a horizontal and a vertical line every 64 tiles. Done.

Finished. Thanks guys.
