  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

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

  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.

  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!

  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
  

  tempPlayer is found, tempTileMap is found, if I use static numbers on the getTileAt it works...

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

  So where do I get PositionToTileX? I'm using Construct 3 since yesterday :)

  I changed it to

  	var tempTileId = tempTileMap.getTileAt(tempTileMap.PositionToTileX(tempPlayer.x), tempTileMap.PositionToTileY(tempPlayer.y));
  

  Yet still the error that PositionToTileX is not a function...

  Are you guys importing some modules that gains access to those functions?
