I’m trying out the tilemaps extension and im trying to figure out how to connect the tilemaps together. There’s a block where you can connect by doors but I don’t know how to use them. Anyone know what to do? ---

I tried creating two tilemaps, but I could not figure out how to connect the two by a ‘Door’. I did find this discussion which might help. > [@List of features for every Level](https://forum.makecode.com/t/list-of-features-for-every-level/2373): > > Hi Makecode Team, My student (9yr old) and I am trying to create a game similar to Dangerous Dave (from my childhood) and are looking for a neat way to create a list of features in every level so that we can spawn the sprites and destroy them at the start and end of every level respectively. Here is where we are now - Level 3 [Git repo of DaveAwesome for Arcade](https://github.com/MINTGenie/daveawesome.git). Please suggest some ways to implement this. Feel free to also make other design suggestions. Warm regards MINT Genie The help documentation, the link shown when installing the extension, does not explain what every block does. > **[tilemaps](https://arcade.makecode.com/pkg/microsoft/pxt-tilemaps)** > > An extension for handling multiple tilemaps and extra tilemap blocks.

@richard could you maybe help with connecting two tilemaps together with the extension like in this post? ---

two tilemaps… hmm… I tried this before and I did a block where it says `if mysprite overlaps (some kind of block) then place him into new tilemap and on a random block` That’s what I do ---

I’ve done it the same way that Dreadmask197 suggested. If your rooms are the same size, you could also define a North, South, East, West column and row locations and place your sprite at the appropriate one when entering a room. I think the issue with this method is that it gets a little cumbersome when you get above 3-5 rooms The advanced live stream gets into room switching in this live stream: https://www.youtube.com/embed/QrCsFRg5ArA?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PLMMBk9hE-SeoHWvTpdezyL9JfF0tocJUT Might be a little advanced for a 9 year old student though, but it could give you some ideas that you could simplify. ---

I have done this before! It is actually quite easy! All you have to do is use the on sprite of kind () overlaps (tile) at location block. When it overlaps the door, set the tilemap to whatever you want the next one to be. To keep track of what room you are in for different things within the game, I like to use variables. Hope that this will help you! ---
