I ask again, how do I reach PositionToTileX / Y in scripting?

I posted this in How Do I, yet they told me to post it in scripting. I think i'm missing a import function? Because asking the TileMap to use function PositionToTileX is giving me a function not found: The tempTileMap is filled... I can use other functions such as GetTileAt()... Anyway the original post:

So everywhere I read that you can use PositionToTileX function... yet this function is not accessible in my code... it says:

Error: tempTileMap.PositionToTileX is not found

var tempPlayer = runtime.objects.Player.getFirstInstance();
	var tempTileMap = runtime.objects.TilemapLevel.getFirstInstance();
	var tempTileId = tempTileMap.getTileAt(tempTileMap.PositionToTileX(tempPlayer.x), tempTileMap.PositionToTileY(tempPlayer.y));

There is no PositionToTileX in the Tilemap API in scripting. But you have all necessary to make your own.

You have to look at the manual:

https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/scripting/scripting-reference/plugin-interfaces/tilemap

Absolutely do use the manual. Sometimes certain APIs are not (yet) available, which is a bit of a bummer, and you have to make your own functions for certain things.

let tilemap = runtime.objects.Tilemap.getFirstPickedInstance();
let mouse = runtime.mouse.getMousePosition();

let tile = positionToTile(tilemap, mouse[0], mouse[1]);

tilemap.setTileAt(tile.x, tile.y, 0);

	function positionToTile(tilemap,x,y) {
	let gridX = tilemap.tileWidth;
	let gridY = tilemap.tileHeight;
	
	let resultX = Math.floor((x - tilemap.x)/gridX);
	let resultY = Math.floor((y - tilemap.y)/gridY);
	
	if (resultX < 0 || resultY < 0 || resultX > tilemap.width/gridX || resultY > tilemap.height/gridY) {
		return "outside Tilemap";
	} else {
		return {"x": resultX, "y": resultY};
	}
	
}

Yeah I looked through the manual but could not find it in there.. yet i found this PositionToTileX function in some construct post...

Thanks for the function setup. I already had something similar going on... But I thought I just did not had a main part of the scripting understood... So reason enough to ask what I was doing wrong...

Thanks champs!
