Tiles blocking

[sssssssssss]

I have an array of tiles x,y and want them to block and not block in code. Is there something as simple as array.block()? Ive tried .block, .blocklocal, and .blockagain, but none worked.

I don't think there is anything like that possible with default.

Nope... :{

Just move the tile to a blocking tile inside the pics1.png and re-name your image (not re-name to pics1.png...) sorry

However, if you want to block an specific area and not specific tiles, you can putnpc2 and do a setshape2 on it, which allows you to specify any shape you want to block (doesn't need to be just a rectangle).

That might work better, although I would imagine if its for cliffing, it would lag if its a lot of areas all over the gmap? If it wont then thats my best bet.

not really lag... lol are you doing it for cliffs and cave enterence?

[sssssssssss]

ran out of room on the tileset, so some cliffing that is by the water doesnt block, and it shouldnt per the tileset, but we can't move it, and we need it to block.

hmmm
just do in a script

function onCreated() {
  this.b_area = {2, 2}; //32x32 px
  this.join("block_area");
}

in the class

function onCreated() {
  this.setShape(1,16 * this.b_area[0], 16 * this.b_area[1]);

  save[1] = this.b_area[0];
  save[2] = this.b_area[1];
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  this.setShape(1, 16 * save[1], 16 * save[2]);
}

Shouldn't cause any lagg

Thanks.

If it's just for looks, you can get the same effect using tile layers.

I think it'd just be a matter of laying down some block tiles, then on top of that laying whatever tiles you'd want to show.

I think tile layers are also manipulable by script as well if that approach is desired.

You can also counter this problem differently. If you have a wide range of tiles (you said you ran out of blocking tiles, so I guess you do) you could just lay the needed tiles over some already existing blocking tiles using addtiledef2(). For example, if you have some special mountain tiles, but there are no mountains near those watery cliffs, just use addtiledef2() in the levels where those watery cliffs are.

oo good idea @ Crow
