Tilemap get object position

[Zenext]

Hi everyone,

 

Is there a way to get object like getTile method for tiles? I am making grid based game and i need to check if there are any objects on specific tile position.

 

Thanks in advance.

I didnt quite get your question.

can't you just use tileMap.getTile(x,y) ??? 

[Zenext]

Yes, but it returns tile, and I need to get object from object layer.

It depends what you mean: do you mean get the object from the JSON object Tiled made, or get the Phaser object?

 

The JSON object is still available in the cache. You'll probably have to iterate over every object, though.

I want to get Phaser object.

I am assuming you want to know if a Tiled 'Object Layer' object intersects with a certain grid position?

you need add custom param for your object. And after by means methods .hasOwnProperty(your param) and method forEach get your object from object layer. 

this.map = this.add.tilemap('tilemap');

var objects = this.map.objects;

var myObj;

objects.forEach(function(el){

    if(el.hasOwnProperty(customParam) && el.customParam==customParamValue){

        myObj=el;

    }

})

the tile itself is an object, isn't it?

 

maybe it will get your question clear.

after get the object, what do you want to do with that?

something you can't do with 'tile Object'?

the code above doesn't work for me.

this.map = this.add.tilemap('tilemap');
throws an error: cannot read "width" of undefined.

is there a method or something to get all tiles of an existing tilemap?

Are you using any tile layers?

@jmp909 - no, not yet. No layers, just 128 128 generated tileMap data, I'm interested because I opened another post on tilemaps:

I am able to save files natively by full OS support with node modules via nwjs, but I have not found a way to save generated tilemaps with phaser into real files- because of the object structure:
