Animated tile

Post by ElvenProgrammer »

I'm slowly working on adding animated tiles support to TMW, anyway it would be cool to make my tests on something better than a square changing color. If you feel like you have an animation in mind, even the simplest one, share it with me so I can use it.

Just a little idea that door gave me: perhaps you could use the particle engine to create a cloud of dust when it hits the floor. That would look cool!

Since I can't see the tile in it's "natural environment" yet, I'd just like to know..

Is it more like a trap door that would close off an open doorway?
Or is it some trap built into the floor that will drop the player into a pit?

This example it's perfect as it is, of course I wanted to start with something easier, meaning a 32x32 tile, but I'l see if I can work this out as well.

When working with an animated 2x2 tile object you will at least make sure that the animation of tiles is synchronized :wink:

Shouldn't it be possible to use one 64x64 tile?

You can use tiles which are higher than the grid size but not tiles which are wider.
