How to use TileAt(tileX, tileY)

I have a large tilemap output on my game with a variety of tiles and I'm wanting to get the tile ID at the Mouse's location on the map.

When my mouse clicks, I'm have a textbox set the text to "map.TileAt(map.PositionToTileX(mouse.X), map.PositionToTileY(mouse.Y))"

But the textbox just outputs constantly "526870911"

I tried simplifying my output to "map.TileAt(1,5)" and various locations but I still get the exact same output "526870911"

Any ideas?

Would this be any good:

Text - Set Text to "X: " & Tilemap.PositionToTileX(Mouse.X) & newline & "Y: " & Tilemap.PositionToTileX(Mouse.Y)

Sounds like it might be a bug - post a minimal .capx reproducing it to the bugs forum.

I created a minimal .capx and it worked so I rebuilt my original game and it works now too. Not sure how I fixed cause my original game was very minimal as well but it works...

Use this

text - set text to map.tileAt(mouse.x, mouse.y)

this will report whichever tileID is under the mouse at any given time.

you were close at first :)

I found TileAt does report the wrong value for empty tiles - from the next build it will return -1.

Actually that won't work. The parameters for the TileAt method requires tile coordinates arguments. So you must convert the mouse coordinates to tile coordinates first using the positionToTileX and positionToTileY methods. My program is working now using those methods.
