Simple Tiled Implementation - STI v1.2.3.0

[NightKawata]

I usually download the repo into a folder called "sti," and with Lua, you can actually just require "sti" and it'll automatically find an init.lua file for ya.

You can do that with folders as long as you've got an init.lua inside of one!
So yeah, just grab that repo, drop it into a folder name of your choice, and just require it up, dog!

Good luck out there.

There is none. With Lua you can require a directory if that directory has an init.lua in it.

Hi, I think you need to download everything into a folder called "sti" and then use it like this:
local sti = require "sti"
or
local sti = require "lib.sti"
if you have your sti folder in lib folder and so on

Hi quick question

Any idea how can I dump the stitched tilemap into an image/texture ?

[Karai17]

draw the whole map to a large canvas then save the canvas

Hi everybody,

I want to update a tile but can't get it to work. What am I missing?
When mouse clicked, this code is fired(line 77):

Code: Select all

map.layers[1].data[tiley][tilex].gid = 9

Now, when I click again I can see that the gid changed correctly to 9 but the image is not updated..why?

You need to update the spirit batch. Instead of changing the gid, you want to update the whole tile using the tiles table, then update the sprite batch

Thx for the fast response. But I guess I need some further help with that.

I can imagine that I need to use

Code: Select all

map.tileInstances[i][id].batch

and something like this

Code: Select all

map.layers[1].data[tiley][tilex] = map.tiles[id]

in order to get it work. But I somehow cant get it to work. Can you give me an example Karai17?

Thanks a lot!

Looks like you mostly have it. I think the batch id should be in the tile instance, so that will tell you exactly which part of the batch you need to update.
