Using scrollers in Tile map builder

#1 If you want a tile map or tile layer to scroll, it has to be handled differently than a t2dScroller. What you would do is create your tile map as you wish, then in script use the setWrap, or setWrapX/setWrapY functions (see the TGB reference under t2dTileLayer for more info). You can also look in the scripts of the scroller demo to see this in action.

#2 He wants the tile only to scroll I believe.. only the water.

@Dennis: No you cannot, you'd have to modify the editor. What I would do though is, on loading of the layer go through each tile, remove all water tiles and replace them with a scroller. Those scrollers won't be part of the tile layer anymore though. Another solution would be to create an "active tile".

#3 Yes, I understand what he would like - my suggestion still applies. You would simply have a seperate tile layer for just the water, which would wrap at a certain pace, then a tile layer of beach/river bank/whatever would also be made and properly laid in front of or behind the water layer in the level builder.

A sample function would be:

function water::OnLevelLoaded(%this, %level)
{
   %this.setWrapY(true);
   %this.setAutoPanY(5);
}

#4 Thanks guys. I'll have to give this a shot. Toying around with an ultima 4/5 tile base game. I might just animate the tile via art if this is going to be a large pain.

I figured I'll need a seperate layer for water, another for more land overlay tiles. It's more or less a very big learning experience for me, but fun so far.
