tilemap.asjson to array?

Hello.

I have a quick question.

It is easy to load over from one array to other by using the load as json.

I tried to load an array with the data from one tilemap using similar method. But it didn't work in my project.

Is it simply two different formats and I have to manually transfer the data in loops or did I do wrong?

I did this:

ARRAY load from JSON string (tilemap.json)

It’s a different format. With a bit of work one could be converted to the other but it’s probably simpler to just do it tile by tile with a few for loops.

The tilemap json is a bit more compact since the tile data is compressed with rle.

Thank you for clear answer.

I already went with loops as described and it works nicely. It is just a couple lines more, so it is ok!

Here's an example of parsing the tilemap.asjson directly. It grabs the width, height and rle data then expands it into the array. But yeah, just using the for loops is smaller and simpler.
