Hello guys,
I wonder if you can help me, am working on game editor for strategy game and issue that I have is how to create autotile for a map. Ya know, 2d array with pieces that if one piece is marked to be grass neighboring pieces around it will adjust so it doesnt seem like square piece > like this
code so far that I have has pieces, each of them divided to 4 parts that a,b,c and d that marks if piece will be full, half or small corner piece
public static function wrapPieces(array:Array):void
{
// Tile is constructed from 4 parts
// ___
// |a|b|
// |-|-|
// |c|d|
// |___|
var i : Number;
var j : Number;
var k : Number;
var text:String="";
// Loop thru all pieces
for (i = 0; i < array.length ; i ++ )
{
for (j = 0; j < array*.length ; j++)
{
// find the one that is full
if (array*[j].a == 1 && array*[j].b == 1
&& array*[j].c == 1 && array*[j].d == 1)
{
// get neighbors of this piece
var neighbors:Array = findNeighborsIn2dArray(i, j, array);
for (k = 0; k < neighbors.length ; k++)
{
text += neighbors[k].xPos + ":" + neighbors[k].yPos + "|";
// found non wrapped field within neighbors
if (neighbors[k].a == 0 && neighbors[k].b == 0
&& neighbors[k].c == 0 && neighbors[k].d == 0)
{
// check which side it is on and use wrapper
if (neighbors[k].xPos == array*[j].xPos - 1
&& neighbors[k].yPos == array*[j].yPos -1 )
{
neighbors[k].d = 1;
}
if (neighbors[k].xPos == array*[j].xPos - 1
&& neighbors[k].yPos == array*[j].yPos )
{
neighbors[k].b = 1;
neighbors[k].d = 1;
}
if (neighbors[k].xPos == array*[j].xPos - 1
&& neighbors[k].yPos == array*[j].yPos + 1 )
{
neighbors[k].b = 1;
}
if (neighbors[k].xPos == array*[j].xPos
&& neighbors[k].yPos == array*[j].yPos + 1)
{
neighbors[k].a = 1;
neighbors[k].b = 1;
}
if (neighbors[k].xPos == array*[j].xPos + 1
&& neighbors[k].yPos == array*[j].yPos + 1)
{
neighbors[k].a = 1;
}
if (neighbors[k].xPos == array*[j].xPos + 1
&& neighbors[k].yPos == array*[j].yPos)
{
neighbors[k].a = 1;
neighbors[k].c = 1;
}
if (neighbors[k].xPos == array*[j].xPos + 1
&& neighbors[k].yPos == array*[j].yPos -1)
{
neighbors[k].c = 1;
}
if (neighbors[k].xPos == array*[j].xPos
&& neighbors[k].yPos == array*[j].yPos -1)
{
neighbors[k].c = 1;
neighbors[k].d = 1;
}
}
else
{
// rest of the code :crying:
}
}
}
}
}
}
Is there any easier way of doing that or I have to code each part neighbor of tiles? Any sugestions?
Thanks
