Multiple loading in Type.

If I do this:

global ThisImage = loadimage blah

type peewee

field image:timage
field x
field y

function create()
for local xiter = 0 to 30
local p:peewee = new peewee

p.image = ThisImage

next
blah
blah

Will the line in Bold >> p.image = ThisImage<< load the same image 31 times?

Or is the image loaded once and then copied?

I basically don't want to load the image 30 times but want to assign the loaded image to 30 objects.

How can I tell if its doing this or not?

Thanks.

Forgive me if this is obvious.

The image is loaded once into thisimage and then the same pointer to the image is used 30 times. Each peewee will point to the same instance of the image so if you change the image it will change for all PeeWees

Thanks. :) Another question.. Looking at my code below, how can I make only 1 tile change frame when the mouse is over it?

Basically, if my player is over a tile I want its frame to change but not change the frames of the rest of them, only the tile he's currently on.

:)

I think you've got a design problem.
This code

			For Local t:T12Image = EachIn T12Image.List
				If TileMap [ (MouseX()/32) , (MouseY()/32) ] = 1
					t.frame = 1
				End If
			Next

loops through changing all the frames just because the mouse is in a frame '1' area. Personally, I would redesign to have my tilemap[] be an array of 't12image' .
Then, when you do the array check you can simply change the tilemap entry e.g

			For Local t:T12Image = EachIn T12Image.List
				If TileMap [ (MouseX() / 32) , (MouseY() / 32) ] = 1
						TileMap [ (MouseX()/32) , (MouseY()/32) ].frame = 1 '(or whatever)
				End If
			Next

Didn't you ask these sorts of question before?

I did yes but none of them were for help with TileMaps using Types.

I tried what you said but it doesnt compile

Basically I give each tile an ID. If the mouse positions is on a selected tile and its ID matches then its frame changes.

It kinda works.

Any more help would be appreciated. :)

		Method FrameChange()
			If MouseX()/32 *32 And MouseY()/32 *32 = id
				frame = 1
			End If
		End Method

This code also kinda works. I think I'm getting close.

I just need some more knowledgable minds to help out.

Please. :)

Amon,
What is this doing?

If MouseX()/32 *32 And MouseY()/32 *32 = id

It divides by 32 then multiples by 32.
If mousex() is 200 it'll be 200/32 = 6. 6*32 = 200.
That's what you were doing wrong here .
Anyway, I would strongly recommend redesigning.
This works but needs more cleaning :

<edit> Code edited a couple of times to get rid of stupid mistakes and clean it up a bit. Could still be more encapsulated but there you go.

That works perfect, thanks. :)



it was my lame ass attempt at trying to find the ID of the tile at the current mouse position.
