Doubt about "tilesets/tiles/terrain"

watergrass

Greetings,

I try develop a code to know how work the option “terrain” in “tilesets/tiles/terrain”.

I create a simple MAP 8col x 6lin and use the watergrass.png, I can’t how say, but I mark the border’s image, how this:
watergrass_border

Save the map as .json, CSV, when I read the .json file I have this:

     "tiles":
        {
         "1":
            {
             "terrain":[0, 0, 0, -1]
            },
         "10":
            {
             "terrain":[0, 0, 0, 0]
            },
         "11":
            {
             "terrain":[0, -1, 0, -1]
            },
         "12":
            {
             "terrain":[-1, 0, -1, -1]
            },
         "13":
            {
             "terrain":[0, 0, -1, -1]
            },
         "14":
            {
             "terrain":[0, -1, -1, -1]
            },
         "15":
            {
             "terrain":[0, 0, 0, 0]
            },
         "16":
            {
             "terrain":[0, 0, 0, 0]
            },
         "17":
            {
             "terrain":[0, 0, 0, 0]
            },
         "2":
            {
             "terrain":[0, 0, -1, 0]
            },
         "4":
            {
             "terrain":[0, -1, 0, 0]
            },
         "5":
            {
             "terrain":[-1, 0, 0, 0]
            },
         "6":
            {
             "terrain":[-1, -1, -1, 0]
            },
         "7":
            {
             "terrain":[-1, -1, 0, 0]
            },
         "8":
            {
             "terrain":[-1, -1, 0, -1]
            },
         "9":
            {
             "terrain":[-1, 0, -1, 0]
            }
        },

Where is the “3” ???

The watergrass have 3col x 6lin = 18 tiles, I belive have 18 “terrain”, but have only 17!

This is the code: all2d_teste.json (2.8 KB)

Or the count not start in 1? The first element is 0?

Or 1 is the first element used?

Best regards

terrain

I understand now… The count is zero based!

The “3” element is not used, because is not marked on border.

I thinking “terrain” is great to define borders.

Mr. moderator, the topic is solved, perhaps it will be useful as knowledge.

I’m happy to see you’ve found the answer yourself so quickly, and thanks for sharing it with us!

The Terrain Tool is indeed great for working with such a tile structure. For some other common structures, there is since recently (in the development snapshots) also support for Wang tiles.
