I’m trying to get the x,y for the point of placement for tiles in my isometric map maker. Where:

tWidth is the width of my tile  
tHeight is the height of my tile  
yt is the y value for the tile  
xt is the x value for the tile

I’m having a lot of trouble with this, any help is greatly appreciated.
