Events With Tiles [Solved]

Hello,

This is the code/event I'm trying to write:

If Box (actor) kills a Tile( an actual tile, not the actor group);
Add Tile ID ( of the killed tile)  to Tile Deleted ( Number Game Attribute),

I've been trying a while already with no success. Any screenshots would be appreciated.

What happens? Have you tried adding it to a text attribute and printing it to screen just to check its output?

No, I don't even know where to start. Can't find the right blocks to do the job. I need a screenshot of how to do it.

Hello?

To solve these kinds of issues, I made this suggestion: http://community.stencyl.com/index.php?issue=749.0

@LIBERADO, Do you know how to program with Haxe?

No.

Oh, anyway great language. You should learn it. Think about all the great Stencyl extensions you could write. Your always suggestion new and great innovative ideas to the Stencyl platform. If you are writing and coding in Haxe it would do great for Stencyl community. Just saying . I myself also plan to try at Haxe someday, but right now I have to master the Stencyl engine.

Apparently this is the reason Stencyl doesn't have these blocks yet:

The problem is that actors don't actually collide with the tiles per se, but instead they collide with a collision shape that Stencyl creates for you at the border of collide-able tiles. As a result, the game doesn't know what tile you collided with - only that you collided with a shape that corresponds to the tilemap.

About learning Haxe, despite I will always use code blocks, I would like to learn Haxe as well, but trying to learn it is very frustrating because, unlike other programming languages, the documentation that I find about Haxe on Internet seems very scant and confusing. I have never found a guide that was clear enough to learn Haxe from scratch.

I don't think so because if Stencyl is able to get the , this means that Stencyl knows what tile you collided with.

I plan to buy these 2 Haxe books soon:

Maybe I will buy some Haxe book too.

A workaround to solve your issue: in the Tileset editor, type the ID of each tile in its Tile Data field, then you can get it later at runtime by using the  block when your actor collides with any tile.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that.
