What I don’t understand is how do I send a message to an individual tile? When I put this statement in the init function of the single_tile script
print(msg.url())
statement in the single_tile script it gives me a generic line for the entire collection like this:
|DEBUG:SCRIPT: Single Tile URL: |url: [main:/collection2/single_tile_garden#single_tile]|
I get one for each tile, but it’s the exact same message so the counter increases on the left. I spawn 3 polyominos at one time so it gives me 3 statements when I start the scene. With a count that matches the #of tiles for each polyomino (This is an edit to make it more clear).
DEBUG:SCRIPT: Single Tile URL: url: [main:/collection0/single_tile_garden#single_tile]
DEBUG:SCRIPT: Single Tile URL: url: [main:/collection1/single_tile_garden#single_tile]
DEBUG:SCRIPT: Single Tile URL: url: [main:/collection2/single_tile_garden#single_tile]
So the only thing I know is it’s part of collection2. But I don’t have a clue which tile it is.
The real reason I have this issue is when the single_tile has a collision with another tile I want to delete it. And it appears to be random on whether it is deleted or both are deleted or nothing happens.
Thanks for the response. Here’s the code. And two videos showing a couple of the issues.
Also here’s the print statement. I had to screenshot it so you can see it prints the same line multiple times…one per tile. But there is no way for me to single out that tile via messaging.
function init(self)
print("Single Tile URL: ", msg.url())
msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")
self.delete_me = false
self.dragging = false
msg.post("#collisionobject_tile", "enable")
end
function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
if message_id == hash("trigger_response") and message.other_id == hash("/tilemap") then
print("Trigger Response and /tilemap...message.enter = ", message.enter)
pprint(message)
if message.enter then
self.delete_me = true
print("TRUE")
else
self.delete_me = false
print("FALSE")
end
elseif message_id == hash("trigger_response") and message.other_group == hash("tile") then
print("Trigger Response and tile...message.enter = ", message.enter)
if message.enter then
self.delete_me = true
print("TRUE")
else
self.delete_me = false
print("FALSE")
end
end
end
function on_input(self, action_id, action)
if action_id == hash("touch") then
if action.released and self.delete_me then
msg.post("#collisionobject_tile", "disable")
print("delete tile: ", msg.url())
print("dragging: ", self.dragging)
--if self.dragging then
go.delete()
--end
elseif action.pressed and self.delete_me == false then
self.dragging = true
msg.post("#collisionobject_tile", "enable")
end
end
end
function final(self)
msg.post(".", "release_input_focus") -- Release input focus when the object is deleted
end
On a side note: I love this forum’s tools and format. Kudos to whoever manages this.
Thanks. I took a look and was at first as confused as you. After playing around with it a bit I realised that the path was too long and the numeric index at the end was removed. If you count the number of characters in “/collection0/single_tile_garden1” you see that there are 33, and it seems like the msg url path limit is currently set to 32…
I haven’t looked into exactly where and how we trim the path (@JCash may know), but if you change the game object name to something shorter, for instance “single_tile1” it will work for you.
