Multiple Maps

Hello there Selim

I was wondering if you have experienced a 3 addTileMap issue where the third map declaration issues a "addTileMap is not a function" error.

Considering the code below

$("#playground").playground({width: scenarioLarg, height: scenarioAltu, keyTracker: true})
  .addTilemap('terrain_map', map,  animations, {width: 32, height: 32, sizex: 32, sizey: 20}).end()
  .addTilemap('building_map', map2,  animations, {width: 32, height: 32, sizex: 32, sizey: 20}).end()
  .addTileMap('room_map', map3,  animations, {width: 32, height: 32, sizex: 32, sizey: 20}).end()
  .addSprite('player',{animation: player["start"],height: 48, width: 32});

When I remove the third addTileMap, it works just fine.
My goal here is to add several more maps so I can swap them quickly without having to go to a new page.
Like swapping screens.

What do you think of this?

Well that's strange! I've already used more than 3 maps (but very small ones, in the tests files). I'll investigate and keep you posted.

Ok Selim

Just one more note, i've also tried witthout the end() and it still refused to work...
I will review my code one more time to see if there is something that stands out...

Thank you for your time.

No luck finding any causes for this to happen.

Juste one small question: Are those maps sparse or are they mostly field with tiles?

They are mostly filled with tiles.
I have a terrain map ( which contains terrain tiles only )
I have a buildings map ( which contains buildings tiles only )

The first two are the first "screen" where my player needs to enter a building to activate the second "screen" which is the third map, which is a temporary copy of map2 ( building map variable )

Do you reccommend that I set the correct tiles for the third map first to see if there any kind of animation reference conflict ?

Yes you could try this.

And you could try to use just a subset of your tile maps by giving a smaller value for sizex and sizey (no need to change the map arrays) this way we will know if it has to do with a problem of too many tiles being generated...

I still haven't found anything but I'll keep looking, I should have more time this weekend.

Ok Selim

I'll have more information tomorrow. I'll also post the full code in jsfiddler so that you can take a closer look at the code.

Thank you for your time

Hello Selim

Here is my full source code for the JS part of the game, not including Jquery or Gamequery

http://jsfiddle.net/webideias/YhLgY/

I will now try reducing sizex and sizey on all tilemaps.

Regards Pedro

Reduced all sizex and sizey on all tilemaps to x12 - y10 and x2 - y1 ( still not working ).

I will make a cleanup on the code through JsLint at fiddler give it a try.

Nop... Just fixed some syntax woes :/

selim

Sorry it took so long but I've found your error.... the last call to addTilemap has a capital M :)

http://jsfiddle.net/YhLgY/7/ is a working version!

Damn... Sorry :(. It's working now...

Thank you for your time Selim

Regards Pedro
:D

Howdy, Stranger!
