This plugin loads JSON file while the game is loading, right? How to reload a JSON during the game?

Tiles are made in this way to store information about the world (resource nodes and other stuff), so tiled background is not the decision (at least if i got you right).

And yes, that`s really a lot of tiles. But i can generate the world once and than just load it from JSON by parts (for example only 2 "screens" around the player`s line of sight).

MadFactory, you mean soft named "Tiled"? I can check it out but can i generate a random world in it?

And the problem is solved! :)

P.S. Any optimization ideas?

Hi.

My goal is to create an isometric map based on the array. I`ve got no problems with basic non-isometric tiled maps, but isometric one is harder.

The result of non-isometric code

for isometric tiles is

Quite psychedelic and interesting, but not what i need now. :)

If i was working on tiled map without arrays, the additional variable for spawning even/uneven rows could be the best decision. In my situation it is impossible or i have a lack of knowledge.

That`s where i need some help: how to spawn the proper isometric tiled map with array?

Ok, i will keep going this way. Added 2 array "levels" deep today and it looks and acts pretty good. Thanks for you help.

Yes, that is quite efficient, thanks. So, as far as i see, there`s no way to put an array into array, yes?

Hi.

I`m creating a tile-based RTS on arrays (kind of Dwarf Fortress on C2 :) ). I`m a newbie at arrays, but no matter because i`m going to raise my skill.

I`ve got a big array which is the "tiles" with sprites (graphic tiles) on it. Each tile (sprite) is a container with another type of an array - a "pile" of anything on that tile (grass, raindrops, elves, dorfs). Elves and dorfs must be arrays too, so i can store them like "body, clothes, armor, weapon and shield, enemy`s blood on the face"

So, the logic is: tiles (array) -> tiles (sprites) -> items on tile (array) -> creatures (arrays).

And the question is: how to put an array (creature) into the array (items)?

Hey, thanks a lot, that`s almost it.

"Pick all Planet" doesn`t work, but "For each Planet" works perfect. All i needed is "Set All_Units to 0".

Karma and love to you :)

Hi, constructers.

I`ve got planets with units on it (instance "planet", variable "unit") and now i need to get a total amount of units on all planets (all planets are the same object). Can anyone tell me how to do this or give some advice? (like "go get some sleep" :))

No-way-variants:

Every tick - Set global\local variable to planet.units.

Every tick pick all planets - Set global\local variable to planet.units.

I`m not a new at C2 but, whoa, now i feel myself like a noob.

So, i`ve solved the problem with wrong long- and latitude. If Google Maps plugin sets wrong coordinates, you have to add a new action to editime.js:

AddAnyTypeParam("X", "Hujur Xcoord", "");

AddAnyTypeParam("Y", "Hujur Ycoord", "");

AddAction(2, 0, "Set longitudeXY", "Position", "Set to: {0},{1}", "Set longitudeXY", "setXYgoogleMap");

(somewhere in string 70-90)

and then add a new function to runtime.js:

Acts.prototype.setXYgoogleMap = function (x,y)

   {

     this.googleMap.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(x, y));     

     this.marker.setPosition(this.googleMap.getCenter());

   };

Right after setXgoogleMap and setYgoogleMap functions.

Use it wisely and improve .js carefully :)

Septeven, i`ve got a little problem (which causes a big trouble): added map is set on the latitude and longtitude that set in the "properties" column, but when i need to change coordinates with "Set longtitude" or "Set latitude" - nothing happens or the place it goes seriously misses (example: fields near London instead of London).

I`m in and my game is done.

Here it is
