How do I erase diagonals on tilemap

Hi all

I have this diagonal Sprite Overlapping a tilemap.

I want to erase all tiles the diagonal sprite is overlapping.

How can i do that?

I know how to erase with the tile range, but that only works with a width and height.

Not X&Y to other X&Y. (By the way Ashley is this not a nice feature to implement?)

Hope someone has the answer.

Thanks!

I found a way (although this is very slow, so i still am looking for a quicker way).

The pink line are all little sprites 32 x 32

They move from left to right and check if overlapping the dark grey sprites.

If so, then the tilemap erases the tile at the position of the pink sprites.

It works, but i rather use a quick method so players don't have to wait as long when a new level is being generated.

In less then a second.

Or if it has to be exact.

Edit: offset in last one should be 13/-13, my error

Trig to the rescue!

Since angle would be a constant you could loop by the tile size with:

int(startx+cos(yourangle)*loopindex*tilesize)

int(starty+sin(yourangle)*loopindex*tilesize)

Of course you would be limited by the angle choice. Not all angles would give a perfect line.

Wow that is truly fast, and a easy way to do it!

Thank you for educating me

This is helpful in many cases.
