Tile 0 Next to Tile 32?

xhunterko

Is there a way to check to see if one tile is next to another? And if it is, change it to another tile?

I think a for loop could do the trick here.. something like

for (j in 0...map.heightInTiles)		
	for (i in 0...map.widthInTiles-1)		
		if(map.getTile(i,j) == 0 && map.getTile(i+1,j) == 32)
			map.setTile(i,j,newIndex,true);

if you more complex checks you should probably check this tutorial.

Here's a snippet of how I do home-made auto-tiling using one source tilemap and several output ones (for top-down angled view):

function isWall(x: Int, y: Int): Bool
	{
		if ((x < 0) || (y < 0) || (x >= map.widthInTiles) || (y >= map.heightInTiles))
			return false;
			
		var tileID2 = map2.getTile(x, y);
		if (tileID2 == 58)
			return true;
		
		if ((tileID2 >= 87) && (tileID2 <= 90))
			return false;
		
		var tileID = map.getTile(x, y);
		if ((tileID == TILE_WALL) || (tileID == TILE_WALL_LEFT) || (tileID == TILE_WALL_RIGHT)
			|| (tileID == TILE_WALL_TOP) || (tileID == TILE_WALL_BOTTOM))
		{
			return true;
		}
		
		return false;
	}
	
function isPit(x: Int, y: Int): Bool
	{
		if ((x < 0) || (y < 0) || (x >= map.widthInTiles) || (y >= map.heightInTiles))
			return false;
		
		var tileID = map.getTile(x, y);
		if (tileID == TILE_PIT)
		{
			return true;
		}
		
		return false;
	}

function setDecorUp(x: Int, y: Int, tileID: Int)
	{
		map3.setTile(x, y - 1, tileID);
	}
	
function setReal(x: Int, y: Int, tileID: Int)
	{
		map2.setTile(x, y, tileID);
	}

......

for (x in 0...map.widthInTiles)
for (y in 0...map.heightInTiles)
	{
	var tileID: Int = map.getTile(x, y);

      ......

	if (isWall(x, y))
	{
		if (!isWall(x + 1, y) && !isWall(x - 1, y) && !isWall(x, y + 1) && !isWall(x, y - 1)) // alone  o
		{
			setDecorUp(x, y, 48);
			setReal(x, y, 64);
		}
		
		if (!isWall(x + 1, y) && isWall(x - 1, y) && !isWall(x, y + 1) && !isWall(x, y - 1)) // end L
		{
			setDecorUp(x, y, 77);
			setReal(x, y, 93);
			
			//setDecorUp(x, y, 4);
			//setReal(x, y, 20);
		}
		
		if (isWall(x + 1, y) && !isWall(x - 1, y) && !isWall(x, y + 1) && !isWall(x, y - 1)) // end R
		{
			setDecorUp(x, y, 76);
			setReal(x, y, 92);
			
			//setDecorUp(x, y, 4);
			//setReal(x, y, 20);
			
		}
		
		if (!isWall(x + 1, y) && !isWall(x - 1, y) && !isWall(x, y + 1) && isWall(x, y - 1)) // end T
		{
			setDecorUp(x, y, 11);
			setReal(x, y, 27);
		}
		
		if (!isWall(x + 1, y) && !isWall(x - 1, y) && isWall(x, y + 1) && !isWall(x, y - 1)) // end B
		{
			setDecorUp(x, y, 43);
			setReal(x, y, 59);
		}
		
		if (isWall(x + 1, y) && isWall(x - 1, y) && !isWall(x, y + 1) && !isWall(x, y - 1)) // horizontal -----
		{
			setDecorUp(x, y, 4);
			setReal(x, y, 20);
		}
		
		if (!isWall(x + 1, y) && !isWall(x - 1, y) && isWall(x, y + 1) && isWall(x, y - 1)) // vertical |
		{
			setReal(x, y, 34);
		}
		
		if (isWall(x, y + 1) && isWall(x + 1, y) && !isWall(x, y - 1) && !isWall(x - 1, y)) // corner TL
		{
			setDecorUp(x, y, 39);
			setReal(x, y, 55);
		}
		
		if (isWall(x, y + 1) && isWall(x - 1, y) && !isWall(x, y - 1) && !isWall(x + 1, y)) // corner TR
		{
			setDecorUp(x, y, 38);
			setReal(x, y, 54);
		}

          ......
       }
.......
       }

@starry-abyss
Homemade auto tiling?
Doesn't FlxTileMap already have that or your top down map only works using custom auto tiling?

starry-abyss

@DleanJeans We had a lot of special cases, that should override general solution in some places, also some cross-tilemap stuff. But maybe you can achieve this with stock one somehow?

Thanks for the help so far guys. I appreciate it! ^^

@Ali-Hassan said in Tile 0 Next to Tile 32?:

I think a for loop could do the trick here.. something like
for (j in 0...map.heightInTiles)		
	for (i in 0...map.widthInTiles-1)		
		if(map.getTile(i,j) == 0 && map.getTile(i+1,j) == 32)
			map.setTile(i,j,newIndex,true);
if you more complex checks you should probably check this tutorial.

Sorry for the long time no post. But I tried to implement this doing:

var newindex:Int = 1;

for (j in 0...map.heightInTiles)
	{
		for (i in 0...map.widthInTiles - 1)
		{
			if (map.getTile(i, j) == 0 && map.getTile(i + 1, j) == 16)
			{
				map.setTile(i, j, newindex, true);
			}	
			//add(new Player(i, j));	
		}		
	}

I switched the numbers to match what I had in my tile set. But either my tile set is not set up correctly. OR I wasn't doing something right. But otherwise I noticed no change.

I was attempting to use it to achieve a look like this: http://opengameart.org/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/dawnblocker_ortho_preview.png

However, since obviously, I did not get what was going on with the snippet, I simply said 'forget it' and just used that tile set. Since that was the look I was trying to achieve.

However, can you go through the snippet and explain what is supposed to happen? Since, I didn't see any relevant changes?

Thanks again.

The code loops through the map as it increments by its tile size height and then width. It searches for a tile with an index of 0. if at the right side of that 0 there is a tile with an index of 16, then tile 0 will change to a tile with an index of 1. if that is not what you want then just map.setTile(i+1 to change the tile that has an index of 16 to a tile that has an index of 1.

All righty thank you! ^^
