Hello, I want to make a suggestion, the change in the opacity of a tilemap not is reflected in the main window.

Sprites if they view the change in opacity but tilemaps not.

I suggest that tilemap objects behave like sprites objects regarding opacity.

What does it mean when suggestions have no response?

You should fire a bug report about this. I also think that we should see the set opacity in the editor.

But this does not have to be a bug, I think it might be okay to make the suggestion.

Well, yes, but I think it's on the border of being a bug. I hope that Ashley notices this topic.

Copy this files in effects drawer... (opacity.fx and opacity.xml) and assign this fx to tilemap you wanr and

then you can change opacity with fx parameter..

Ok, I understand but I was talking about an official implementation of the opacity variable, although this can be useful while the C2 team fixes that "failure" with the opacity variable.

I think you should just consider this a bug since you can change a tilemap's opacity by changing it's layer's opacity.

This will be resolved faster if you post this in the Bugs Section.

I know it's an old topic but I had the same problem. What I did to bypass this, was setting the opacity of the tilemap in an event.

Like this:

(condition)On start of Layout -> (action)TilemapName - set opacity to 20

So when the game starts construct will set the opacity of the tilemap to 20

If you have like more copies of this on tilemap in your editor but you only want one particular tilemap with 20 opacity you can pick that one particular by its unique ID. Like this:

(condition) On start of Layout - (condition)TilemapName - Pick instance with UID 320 -> (action)TilemapName - set opacity to 20

The tilemaps UID is displayed in the Object type properties windows usually on the upper left side. I used 320 as an example.
