Is there a way to create a tile map that allows a user to click a tile on the map and have an event happen? Better yet, can this be done in a web application?

View 3 Replies(non-coding request)Okay, I have my client, my server, and my map editor...a 2d online game, and yes it's written in VB.NET.I have had a lot of trouble finding anything to do with adding an animation layer something that will flash with a timer to appear as if something like fire is animated. I have a lot done so far and I kinda want to stick with VB.NET working with this.
I'm not really looking for code here, but maybe an idea of "how" an animation layer plays into a map editor and client...specifically what is needed.Running this through my head I believe I am going to need a timer on both the map editor and client, showing and hiding the animation layer...but I don't think it is that easy, and am hoping someone here has an idea of the logic of how this works. I'm almost certain that the timer doesn't go on the server to control this, but am probably wrong.
Essentially I have a half text/half graphical tile game that has a level designer. I have several sets of tiles, all of which are bunched together in one file. I'd like to read a certain 32x32 square of said bitmap, and display only that portion on specified area of the screen. I know GDI+ enough to get the display going, so I just need help with reading the specified portion of the image from the bitmap.
View 4 RepliesI've managed to implement a formula that helps me to get the closest tile's distance that meets my requirements. The only thing is, I can't retrieve the actual tile for some reason... Tiles are named "Items" also. Here is my code:

It puts green squiggly lines under ClosestItem and gives me the error: "Warning 2 Variable 'ClosestItem' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime."
Is it possible to show only the first 2 columnheaders in tile view of a listviewitem instead of all the definied columnheaders?

I have a picturebox and I have a image with a blue and red square. When I click a button it puts that image into the picturebox as background image. The background image property is set to tile. But when I click on my form to draw the image to it, it just draws the original not the one that has the tile effect from the picturebox. Is there a way i can do this to keep the tile effect?

While trying to find an answer to my question, I came across a project called OTSe, which allows people to make they're own online 2d online games. The system is based on an open X, Y, Z square tile map. For the sake of easy understanding, lets say they're are 3 types of tiles. Tiles you CANNOT walk on, tiles you CAN walk on, and tiles that SLOW YOU'RE CHARACTER DOWN.The project team has created a API class for users to work with in order to develop tools. What I'm trying to do, using they're classes, is GET the all the tiles on the current floor I am walking on, and then display them in a tile grid on my form, changing they're color depending on what type of tile they are. If the tile is NOT WALKABLE, make the tile gray, if the tile IS WALKABLE, make the tile brown, and if the tile SLOWS YOU DOWN, make the tile red. I also need it to store the information of each tile, since tiles are objects, and have properties.

So now I will try to make something more complex, still playing around with this graphics thing.I want a picturebox to display a tileset (a bunch of 32x32 tiles normally used for creating game levels etc), the picturebox is inside a container (which has autoscroll ON). The picturebox is larger than the container, so the container will make scrollbars automatically.Now, I need to be able to choose a tile or multiple tiles (if I click & drag the mouse)Basically I want to draw a 32x32 "red" box over each selected tile (so the user knows what tiles are selected).So first of all, I need to know when the mouse clicks the picture. Good. It works.Now, I need to know which 32x32 tile was clicked. Well, I think I can calculate that just fine.BUT, what if the user drags the mouse while clicking on a tile? I want to support multiple tiles selected, but I am clueless about tracking what tiles were chosen.If we solve that problem, I would have another curiosity: You know the "red boxes" that tell you which tiles are selected? What would happen if I dragged the scroll bar? I need the redboxes to move along with the picture, and hide if they go to an invisible area.

Having an issue switching a listview from Tile to Details View with groups. When the list view has groups and the Default View is Tile, when changing the view to Details the first Group is not shown. Its under the column header. I jerry rigged it with creating a global variable to store the tile size and when switching to details view setting the tile size to a new size of 1,1. When switching back to Tile View setting the Tile Size to the Global Tile Size Stored.

So now I'm working on the map editor for my game. The map itself displays 32x32 pixels out from the upper and left bounds of the form. Each tile is also 32x32. So then i have two labels which display the corresponding coordinates divided by 32, this way it would show you x: 7, Y: 8, or whatever. The issue is that the map will be like 15x10, and when moving the mouse to the 15th row/column, it shows 15, but then moving to the 14th row, still shows 15. The rest of it works fine. Here is the code.
Private Sub FrmDesign_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove

Say I have a tile map, example:
111111
122221
122221
111111
And we know that the total X and Y coordinates of the map is (6, 4), with the numbers 1 and 2 representing different tiles at specific coordinates.I have already retrieved the X and Y coordinate for each tile, now all I want to do is duplicate(clone) the entire map. After I clone it, I want the user to be able to select any tile, and read data from it.
I have a very basic tiling engine that was made from a YouTube tutorial for making an top down RPG style game and I am trying to adapt it to a platformer game. The code is fairly simple but not being a physics guy I am looking for adding a Mario style jump to the program.

That said I am not sure where to get started, below is the meet and potatoes so to speak of the program.

Dim ResHeight As Integer = 550

I'm making a tileset creator and everything is working fine so far except previewing a tile. The way it works now is it gets the image from a picturebox and calls the following code when scrolling the mousewheel. It functions fine but there is a border appearing between the tiles and I can't figure out why. The source image is 32x32 in size. Most likely it is the graphics class not measuring in pixels or something.

i have a small wp7 application with just a main page. The main page has 4 buttons and calls the ConnectionSettingstask for wifi, bluetooth, airplanemode and cellular data setting. I have also managed to create secondary tiles for any of these buttons. The OnNavigateTo event handles the secondary tiles using a key passed from the tile [code]The problem ia that when the user uses the secondary tile to call a task, the application opens directly the connection settings page, but after that the back key, instead of opening the phone main menu, open the main page of my application
View 1 RepliesI have a question about collision, yes my 2d tile rpg's map collision works just fine, but im having trouble with the collision with my npc's.

View 6 RepliesMy tile-based map editor project. So far, it works really awesome. Here, look at a picture: [URL] And the screenshot is outdated: Now I got the Pencil, Rectangle and FloodFill tools too!, the tilesets are from that popular (well, not so popular) game engine called RPGMaker.
Currently, this is how the map is structured:
One ArrayList represents the X coordinates.
One ArrayList in each X represents the Y coordinates.
One ArrayList in each X,Y represents the tile.
The tile is an ArrayList containing three elements:
The Image name (Tileset01 in the screenshot), the X coordinate in the image, and the Y coordinate in the image. Those coordinates are from the TILESET01 image, not map.
Getting the idea?
How do you locate a tile in the map when it is clicked?
First I get the cursor's position on the map picturebox, then convert it to a multiple of 32 (the tiles are 32x32, yes), divide the position X and Y by 32. The results are the indexes I need to get to the tile I clicked.
That method works just fine for me.
When the map picturebox invalidates and needs painting... When that happens, I iterate through each X and Y arrayList. When I get the arrayList that represents the tile, I use it to draw on the map.
For example:
Iterating X arrayList.... step 8......
Iterating Y arrayList..... step 3.......
Found arrayList with three elemetns: ("Tileset01",32,96)
Draw image on the map picturebox, source is "Tileset01" on rectangle (32,96,32,32)... draw it on map picturebox's point (8 * 32) and (3 * 32)
And so on.
Now you understand how I am working with my map editor, how I am locating clicked tiles, and how I am drawing it. Everything goes fine, except for one problem: At some point, the user might want to make a 500x500 map.
That means, an arrayList with 500 elements representing the X tiles. Then an arrayList with 500 elements for each X tile, representing the Y tiles. Then an arrayList in each X,Y pair.
Then multiply that result by 5, because there will be 5 drawing layers. How am I supposed to handle such huge maps?! My app explodes when I set the map dimensions to 500x500! 500x500 is the max setting allowed in my app. I also know that 500x500 map editors are possible, because I have seen others before. With great performance.

I looked at "How do I place an image with a mouse-click in Javascript?" but it had a small snippet of Java; immensely larger than my knowledge of Java. And that is the closest I've come to finding an answer in the past week. Here's what I would like to do (don't know if its even possible):
I have a panel and a toolstrip with 3 buttons. Each button represents a different image. I want to click on a button (once) and then move into the panel and everytime I click the mouse button it drops the image where ever I clicked. This only ends when either I click back on the same button or one of the other buttons. I do not want to drag an image into the panel each time. In other words the button stays depressed and the event/action stays active.

View 6 RepliesI have two custom action listers. One that handles Mouse.Click and one that handles Mouse.MouseDown. My question to you is, can I delay the mouse down event so that it does not intefere with the code of the Mouse.Click event? I have tried adding a timer and waiting x amount then setting a bool value to true, but the code executes to fast and it skips the other code.
