To get the next bottom element of a selected tile out of the tilemap

lortschi

Hi,
how can I get the next bottom element (id, class) of a selected tile without to loop through the whole tilemap?

Hi,

gameQuery gives an unique id to each tiles constructed in the following way:

$.gameQuery.tileIdPrefix+name+"_"+row+"_"+column

This means that if your tilemap is called "foo" then you can access the tile at position (a,b) by writing:

$("#"+$.gameQuery.tileIdPrefi+"foo_"+a+"_"+b);

In the same way you can deduce the position (index-wise) of the tile by parsing it's id. This means that for a given tile you can find it's position and probe specifically the state of the tile just bellow.

Thank you Selim for this hugh explanation (similarly, thought to Stack Overflow). You're right about the moving of tiles, it's not recommendable. I will trying at first to implement the movable gameobjects as group of tiles and maybe detach them as required from playground to increase the gameperformance.

*sry I meant group of sprites not tiles :)
