How do I spawn an object on a tilemap tile?

I read the tutorials about the tilemap but I didn't find how to spawn a sprite in the tilemap tile that was touched.

I didn't find also any option in the tilemap actions. Is not possible?

Thanks in advance.

You can do it with the tilemap expressions. First you use the expressions to convert the touch.x and y to the tile column and row. Next you use another one of the expressions to to convert the row and column to the xy of a tile.

There are also expressions that combines both so the final expression doesn't become monstrous.

On Touch -> Create object at x = Tilemap.SnapX(Touch.X), y = Tilemap.SnapY(Touch.Y)

Hi R0J0hound

I did something similar (or equal) that you suggested, but it doesn't have accuracy.

Thanks, Magistross

Nice and simple solution, but I'm having the same problem: no accuracy. I'm creating objects out of the tile that I clicked. I need to create it inside the tile. How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

SnapX/Y and TileToPositionX/Y return the position in the middle of a particular tile. Depending on where your sprite origin is, you might have to shift the position a bit. e.g. Tilemap.SnapX(Touch.X) - 16

Ok, Thanks.

Is possible to check if any tile is overlapping another sprite that I inserted after the game starts (not during the game)?

can someone explain how this works to me plz ?

having a hard time with tile x,y expressions.

I need to understand it a little so i can use it.

Right now im trying to spawn a sprite on top of tiles #27 and #28.

Right now i have 0 clue on how to do that.

tile #27 is x-210 y-49

tile#28 is x-238 y-49

example i wanna spawn sprite at the start. wherever tile #27 is from tilemap
