Map Loading?

#1 Guess you need setArea, although it's not in the tutorial.

#2 I've just recently bought T2D also and the last couple of nights i was running though this same tutorial. here is the code i have for that specific bit.

function createLevel()
{
   $gravity = 200;
   $spawnPoint = "-20 -30";

   %tileMap = new t2dTileMap() { scenegraph = t2dscene; };
   %tileMap.loadTileMap("./maps/mario.tile");
   %layer = %tileMap.getTileLayer(0);
   %layer.setCollisionActive(false, true);
   %layer.setGroup($platformGroup);
   %layer.setLayer($platformLayer);
   %layer.setPosition("0 0");
   %layer.setTileSize("4 4");
   %layer.setSize("200 44");
   
   resetPlayer($spawnPoint);
}

I've got a couple of differences from the tutorial, i've got a different tilemap name as i made a mario based one.

I've added %layer.setTileSize("4 4"); and %layer.setSize("200 44"); as i was having similar problems to you.

I'll explain where i got them numbers from.

I created a tile map of 50 tiles wide and 11 tiles high. each tile was 4x4. It told me this when i initially loaded my map back into the tile editor Layer #0 - Quantity: 50 11 / Size: 4.0000 4.0000

So i just did the math and set the entire layer size to be 200 wide by 44 high. i got this number by

50 tiles * 4 = 200
11 tiles * 4 = 44

thats where i got %layer.setSize("200 44"); from, as for the TileSize take a peek in the tile editor and see what that's set to.

I'm sure the way i've done it is not the most elegant way, i'm still learning myself.

If there's a more experienced head out there could you please chip in and give us a pointer or two :P

cheers.

#3 This helps quite a bit. Thanks for the info.

#4 The map is probably positioned off the screen. If you made your map in the north left corner of the tile editor, try setting the player spawn point to -80 -80 instead and see if u end up at the right spot.. :)
