Tilemaps and torqueX

#1 @Bruno - Since you're defining myBoard as a T2DSceneObject the C# compiler doesn't know that it's a tile layer object. Try making your myBoard variable into a T2DTileLayer type.

#2 Thanks Dan, that was the problem ;)

One last question, how can i change the tile on the fly ?
The documentation states that :

public bool SetTileByGridCoords(
int x,
int y,
T2DTileObject tile
)

So, i enter a tileobject in the tilemap, instead of a T2DstaticSprite.
But, if i create a T2DTileObject :

T2DTileObject test;

i have no way to assign a texture to this tile, T2DTileObject has no method to assign a texture to it.
How do i do this ? Either adding a texture or deleting.

thanks again,
Bruno

#3 @Bruno - You can set the Material property of a T2DTileType object. Try something like this:

T2DTileLayer myBoard = TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.FindObject<T2DTileLayer>("myboard");
T2DTileType myType = new T2DTileType();
myType.Material = TorqueObjectDatabase.Instance.FindObject<GarageGames.Torque.Materials.RenderMaterial>("whateverMaterial") as GarageGames.Torque.Materials.RenderMaterial;
myBoard.GetTileByGridCoords(0, 0).TileType = myType;

#4 Wow.., that's complicated, ehh, and it's working now

Thanks Dan.. :)

#5 The interface for modifying tile layers has been simplified quite a bit since 1.0. Sorry for the complicated mess. :(

#6 Not a problem Thomas , if it's simpler, the better :)
