Tiles Triggering Actions

[blackbeltben]

I want to do a check to see if the player is in a certain tile.
How would I check?
For this example, I just want to use the top left tile (1x1)

PHP Code:

onTimeOut(){
 setTimer(0.05);
 if /*Check if player is in certain tile (1x1)*/ {
  player.chat = "Found Tile!";
 }
}

PHP Code:

temp.playerTile = tiles[player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2]; 


theres also tiletype:

PHP Code:

temp.playerTiletype = tiletype(player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2); 


0: non-blocking, foreground
1: non-blocking
2: hurting underground
3: chair
4: bed1 (upper part)
5: bed2
6: swamp
7: lava swamp
8: near water
9: near lava
10: desert
11: water
12: lava
20: throw-through
21: jump stone
22: blocking
23: blocking, foreground

Do you think you could use it in an example for me, I'm having trouble understanding.. I was never good at tile stuff.

I'm using this for the check but I get errors. I guess I'm not using it in right context..

PHP Code:

 if ((temp.playerTiletype == 23(player.x+1.5, player.y+2)){
  player.chat = "found";
 } 


[Jakov_the_Jakovasaur]

temp.playerTiletype = tiles[player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2]; is just defining a temporary variable as whatever is returned by tiles[player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2], which will be unset once the current function process ends

all you need to do is:

PHP Code:

if (tiles[player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2] == 1x1) {
 player.chat = "Found Tile!";
}

error: unexpected symbol x1 at line 68: if (tiles[player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2] == 1x1) {

Don't think the check you gave me is correct..

i didnt realise graal doesnt like using 1x1 directly like that, i usually change the tile values to their actual hexadecimal value, in this case 17:

PHP Code:

if (tiles[player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2] == 17) { 
 player.chat = "Found Tile!"; 
}

A couple things...

1. Nothing is happening when I collide with the tile... Not sure if I'm missing something.

2. How did you come up with 17 for 1x1 tile?

[Jakov_the_Jakovasaur]

i just realised that the first tile should be 0x0 rather than 1x1 as mentioned in your first post, 1x1 probably isnt even valid

should definitely work if you do:

PHP Code:

if (tiles[player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2] == 0) 


taking a closer look at your snippet of code in the first post, its worth mentioning that it should be something like this if it isnt already:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
  this.onTimeout();

function onTimeout() {
  if (tiles[player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2] == 0) {
    player.chat = "Found Tile!";
  }
  this.setTimer(0.05);
} 


if something doesnt work as expected then you can also attempt to debug it like so:

PHP Code:

player.chat = tiles[player.x + 1.5, player.y + 2];

Yay it works

But can you explain how you did get 17 though? How do I calculate what tiles are equal to what value?

[Jakov_the_Jakovasaur]

there are plenty of online tools that can do it, for example:

http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/he...imal-converter

0x would unambiguously state that the following value is hexadecimal and the number before the x represents a count of 16s before it, so 1x1 is basically 16 + 1, 2x1 is 32 + 1 aka 33, 2xF is 32 + 15 aka 47 etc

whereas if you used the true hexadecimal value for 17 which is '11' that would appear more ambiguous

I really appreciate the help

But I have one more question to add to this

What can I do so I don't have to do this..

PHP Code:

if ((tiles[player.x+1.5, player.y+3] != 0) || (tiles[player.x+1.5, player.y+3] != 32) || (tiles[player.x+1.5, player.y+3] != 66) || /*etc*/){ 


just have all the tile values in one check

[fowlplay4]

PHP Code:

temp.tile = tiles[player.x+1.5, player.y+3];
temp.badtiles = {0,1,2,3,4};
if (temp.tile in temp.badtiles) {
  player.chat = "this is a bad tile";
} else {
  player.chat = "this is not a bad tile";
}

  player.chat = "this is not a bad tile";
} 


Could I do something like..

on created

PHP Code:

function onCreated(){
 player.blocktiles = (1,2,3,4,5,etc);
} 


on check

PHP Code:

if (tiles[player.x+1.5, player.y+3] != player.blocktiles){ 


Obviously I don't think this will work as written. But I want to do it similar to that way.. How can I go about this?

[fowlplay4]

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  if (!isBlocking(tiles[player.x+1.5,player.y+3])) {
    player.chat = "this tile is not blocking";
  }
}

function isBlocking(tile) {
  temp.blocktiles = {1,2,3,4,5};
  return (tile in temp.blocktiles);
}

I'm having trouble figuring out the value for each tile. I used the calculator to figure out what this tile it:

Location: Farthest to the left. Second from the top
Possible Formulas: 2xa, ax2, 1xb, bx1

I put all these in calculator and none of the values are detecting
