[Solved] Set colective tiles always over their respective

In my game i'm using normal maps for each tile. Using the container and adding the normal map.gfx no problem always that the tile is static. But when it moves?

Actually i have something like:

For each "Tile"

"Tile" is moving -> Set "Tile_Normal" at "Tile" position.

So only when the tile is moving will update the position, instead of use every tick to get better perfomance with a lot of tiles with normalMaps.

The problem is that actually i have to do an individual event for each one of movable tiles. So i though, ok, using families, one for "tiles" and other for "Tile normals" . I changed the previous code event and some variations but nothing, always there is something wrong on some site :S .

Question: Is there any way to do it with families or another way i'm missing?

These Tiles are sprites?

I guess either using the pin behaviour, or using container, or referencing the normal maps by UID or another way of picking the right one would do..

Yes, the tiles are sprites and actually all are using the container behaviour.

Yes, and all this options works with individual sprites but not on families.

I mean, i have: Tile1, Tile2, Tile3, Tile4, Tile5 and Tile_Normal1, Tile_Normal2, Tile_Normal3, Tile_Normal4 and Tile_Normal5.

If on start layout i pin Tile_Normal1 to Tile1 all perfect, allways will go with it on moving or whatever but i will have to add one pin for all the objects i want to move.

So the idea is add the Tile_Normal1 to the Tile1 container and add Tile_Normal1 to the Normal-Map-Family and use an event or something that pin automatically to all the spritees with a container inside the "NormalMap" family. THen i can add Tile_Normal2 to the Tile2 container and do in the other that always be pinned because that one event/condiction that say they have to be pinned.

I don't know if i explained well XD . I want to pin all the normal maps over all the tiles adding in their respective container and using only one event/condition instead pin every one 1x1.

Would this work for you?

for each family1

pick nearest family2

family2 pin to family1

Would this work for you?

for each family1

pick nearest family2

> family2 pin to family1

Not works or i'm doing some wrong, I made this:

Is correct? The idea looks very good i really hope this works

I made various changes about family1/2 and nothing all the combinations fail, not pin.

Arg! I thought i get it.

Have in mind that in the game i have multiples tile1,etc... so at the start there is only one Tile1_Normal, is after when all the Tile1_Normal are created due the "container" of each Tile1.

I say this because i added "F_NormalMaps on created -Z" at i get the last object pinned, but pinned with all the normaltiles XD, seems i'm getting somewhre, i hope....

You should pick the nearest to the position of the family..

Here's an example with 2 sprites

Much thanks for the example but in my case only worked when i changed "on created" by "On start layout".

I changed my condition of " F_NormalMaps On created" by "on start layout" and is working now. If i delete the condition "On start layout" not works i don't know why :S , but well is solved, thanks! very useful the Pick-Nearest! .
