HaxePunk Tiled

Add the HaxePunk Tiled library to your game

You need to add

<haxelib name="HaxePunkTmx" />

to your project.xml file.

Add your maps to project.xml

<assets path="assets/maps" rename="maps" include="*.tmx" />

Load a map layers and collision

To use this as a background image simply create a new instance of TmxEntity.

import haxepunk.tmx.TmxEntity;

public function createMap()
{
  // create the map
  var e = new TmxEntity("maps/mylevel.tmx");

  // load layers named bottom, main, top with the appropriate tileset
  e.loadGraphic("graphics/tileset.png", ["bottom", "main", "top"]);

  // loads a grid layer named collision and sets the entity type to walls
  e.loadMask("collision", "walls");

  add(e);
}

Access properties and objects

To access map properties and object layers create an instance of TmxMap. To add it to the scene simply pass the TmxMap object to the TmxEntity constructor.

import haxepunk.tmx.TmxEntity;
import haxepunk.tmx.TmxMap;

public function createMap()
{
	// create the map
	var map = TmxMap.loadFromFile("maps/mylevel.tmx");
	
	// access map properties
	var prop = map.properties.resolve("myCustomProperties");
	
	// go through the list of objects in an object layer
	for(object in map.getObjectGroup("myObjectsLayer").objects)
	{
		// you can access:
		object.name; 
		object.type;
		
		object.x;
		object.y;
		
		object.width;
		object.height;
		
		// to read custom properties
		object.custom.resolve("myProp");
	}
	
	// create the map
	var e = new TmxEntity(map);

	// load layers named bottom, main, top with the appropriate tileset
	e.loadGraphic("graphics/tileset.png", ["bottom", "main", "top"]);

	// loads a grid layer named collision and sets the entity type to walls
	e.loadMask("collision", "walls");

	add(e);
}
