How do you "keymap" the tilemap
by Steve Bisson · in Torque Game Builder · 04/25/2006 (3:31 am) · 2 replies
I want to put a tiny ship in the middle of the screen and have the tilemap move underneath it to simulate moving around on a terrain.
i tried this :D.. but not use
function playerDown()
{
// Set the player moving down.
%skyLayer.setscroll( "-30 0" );
}
on another note.. is it possible to use many "objects" in the same function ?
like so
function playerUp()
{
// Set the player moving down.
$player.setrotation( -90 ) ;
%skyLayer.setscroll( "-30 0" );
}
?
BTW TGB is great ! :D

Using $ instead of % made it work !... thanks , i now understand the difference between the two of them :)

As to multiple objects within a function, yes it's possible, BUT....
When you create your tile layer, I guess you're using:
That's all fine, but once you've setup the layers, you don't have access to them anymore, as the %skyLayer variable ceases to exist.
The easiest fix is to use:
Then you can set your function as follows:
function playerUp() { // Set the player moving down. $player.setrotation( -90 ) ; $skyLayer.setAutoPanPolar( $player.getRotation, 30 ); }
