Okay, so do you know how there is a “distance between (mySprite) and (myEnemy)” block in the Sprite Utils extension?
Is there a way to check the distance between a sprite and a tile on my tilemap?
If you want context I’m trying to make it so that when the player gets close to a tile (named “Enemy No1”) it will disappear.
The simplest way, without creating a new extension, is to place a sprite on that tile.
How do I do that?
This is a really helpful function. I’ve been meaning to ask if there was a sprite-less way to do this for awhile. Is there a way to do this with specific tile graphics instead of just tile columns amd rows?
Like a function that can tell you how close a certain tile graphic, if that makes sense. But thanks none the less, i’ll be messing around with this code
My good sir, there is a sprite-less way to make sprites! It’s all just math and more math. By “specific tile graphics” do you mean a sort of “distance to nearest tile of type” block?
You could get the “specific columns and rows” from the tiles in a “array of tiles of type” block with that little “(location) [column]” block and put them all through this function to find the one that’s closest.
Yes, something exactly like that
Yes, that’s pretty easy to adjust. In the scene drawer there is an “array of all [insert tile] locations” This is a list of every location of a tile. It acts just like any other array. You can use this to gather information about a tile in order to make it usable with the function.
Note that you would need to adjust it’s numbers if you were working with a different tile size.
If you want to play around with the function you should check out the Pythagorean Theorem:
