Tilemap Tiletoposition() [r162]

Link to .capx file (required! If link is blocked remove the http and www parts):

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run .capx

2. move mouse and observe mouse.x and mouse.y in text field 1

3. compare mouse.x and mouse.y in text field 2 using TileToPosition(mouse.x) &?:?& TileToPosition(mouse.y) over the Tilemap object.

Observed result:

The mouse.x and mouse.y position used in Tiletoposition() exponentially increases as you move the mouse even a pixel at a time, while the normal mouse.x and mouse.y show the correct pixel location of the curser.

Expected result:

Shouldn?t the Tiletoposition() give the x and y location of a certain tile center as long as the mouse is over the certain tile? OR at least show the correct layout x and y position of the mouse?

The positiontotileX & Y do the same weird measurements

I'm still learning all the finer points of Tilemap, so I'd like to understand the outcome of this, too.

Closing as not a bug. You use TileToPosition*, which converts a tile index to a layout position, but you give it a layout position instead. You probably meant to use PositionToTile* instead.

I think it's a bug.

If you move your mouse over last tile in every row you will see Mouse X is between 224 and 256. But TileToPosition(mouse.X) will show 7168 and 8192.

Even if you do TileToPosition(mouse.X)/32 - where 32 is tile width then it will be between 224.5 and 256.5.

So using TileToPosition(mouse.X) will result mouse.X*32

and TileToPosition(mouse.X)/32 will result mouse.X+0.5

shinkan, I agree. I was incorrect in how I was using the Tiletoposition*, however I believe the x/y coordinates are off and are a bug in both the Posiotiontotile* and Tiletoposition*. Ashley, can you comment on if this is a bug or not, and If I need to re-post it I will.

Check the x and y output of Positiontotile* and Tiletoposition* and compare to window x/y positions.
