Class: Tilemap

Phaser.Tilemaps. Tilemap

A Tilemap is a container for Tilemap data. This isn't a display object, rather, it holds data about the map and allows you to add tilesets and tilemap layers to it. A map can have one or more tilemap layers, which are the display objects that actually render the tiles.

The Tilemap data can be parsed from a Tiled JSON file, a CSV file or a 2D array. Tiled is a free software package specifically for creating tile maps, and is available from: http://www.mapeditor.org

As of Phaser 3.50.0 the Tilemap API now supports the following types of map:

  1. Orthogonal
  2. Isometric
  3. Hexagonal
  4. Staggered

Prior to this release, only orthogonal maps were supported.

Another large change in 3.50 was the consolidation of Tilemap Layers. Previously, you created either a Static or Dynamic Tilemap Layer. However, as of 3.50 the features of both have been merged and the API simplified, so now there is just the single TilemapLayer class.

A Tilemap has handy methods for getting and manipulating the tiles within a layer, allowing you to build or modify the tilemap data at runtime.

Note that all Tilemaps use a base tile size to calculate dimensions from, but that a TilemapLayer may have its own unique tile size that overrides this.

As of Phaser 3.21.0, if your tilemap includes layer groups (a feature of Tiled 1.2.0+) these will be traversed and the following properties will impact children:

  • Opacity (blended with parent) and visibility (parent overrides child)
  • Vertical and horizontal offset

The grouping hierarchy is not preserved and all layers will be flattened into a single array.

Group layers are parsed during Tilemap construction but are discarded after parsing so dynamic layers will NOT continue to be affected by a parent.

To avoid duplicate layer names, a layer that is a child of a group layer will have its parent group name prepended with a '/'. For example, consider a group called 'ParentGroup' with a child called 'Layer 1'. In the Tilemap object, 'Layer 1' will have the name 'ParentGroup/Layer 1'.

Type
Phaser.Tilemaps.TilemapLayer

createFromObjects(objectLayerName, config)

This method will iterate through all of the objects defined in a Tiled Object Layer and then convert the matching results into Phaser Game Objects (by default, Sprites)

Objects are matched on one of 3 criteria: The Object ID, the Object GID or the Object Name.

Within Tiled, Object IDs are unique per Object. Object GIDs, however, are shared by all objects using the same image. Finally, Object Names are strings and the same name can be used on multiple Objects in Tiled, they do not have to be unique.

You set the configuration parameter accordingly, based on which type of criteria you wish to match against. For example, to convert all items on an Object Layer with a gid of 26:

createFromObjects(layerName, {
  gid: 26
});

Or, to convert objects with the name 'bonus':

createFromObjects(layerName, {
  name: 'bonus'
});

Or, to convert an object with a specific id:

createFromObjects(layerName, {
  id: 9
});

You should only specify either id, gid, name, or none of them. Do not add more than one criteria to your config. If you do not specify any criteria, then all objects in the Object Layer will be converted.

By default this method will convert objects into Sprite instances, but you can override this by providing your own class type:

createFromObjects(layerName, {
  gid: 26,
  classType: Coin
});

This will convert all Objects with a gid of 26 into your custom Coin class. You can pass any class type here, but it must extend Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject as its base class. Your class will always be passed 1 parameter: scene, which is a reference to either the Scene specified in the config object or, if not given, the Scene to which this Tilemap belongs.

All properties from object are copied into the Game Object, so you can use this as an easy way to configure properties from within the map editor. For example giving an object a property of alpha: 0.5 in Tiled will be reflected in the Game Object that is created.

Custom object properties that do not exist as a Game Object property are set in the Game Objects data store.

You can use set a container property in the config. If given, the class will be added to the Container instance instead of the Scene.

Finally, you can provide an array of config objects, to convert multiple types of object in a single call:

createFromObjects(layerName, [
  {
    gid: 26,
    classType: Coin
  },
  {
    id: 9,
    classType: BossMonster
  },
  {
    name: 'lava',
    classType: LavaTile
  }
]);

The signature of this method changed significantly in v3.50.0. Prior to this, it did not take config objects.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
objectLayerName string

The name of the Tiled object layer to create the Game Objects from.
config Phaser.Types.Tilemaps.CreateFromObjectLayerConfig | Array.<Phaser.Types.Tilemaps.CreateFromObjectLayerConfig>

A CreateFromObjects configuration object, or an array of them.
Since: 3.0.0
Source: src/tilemaps/Tilemap.js (Line 634)
Returns:

An array containing the Game Objects that were created. Empty if invalid object layer, or no matching id/gid/name was found.

Type
Array.<Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject>

createFromTiles(indexes, replacements, spriteConfig [, scene] [, camera] [, layer])

Creates a Sprite for every object matching the given tile indexes in the layer. You can optionally specify if each tile will be replaced with a new tile after the Sprite has been created. This is useful if you want to lay down special tiles in a level that are converted to Sprites, but want to replace the tile itself with a floor tile or similar once converted.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
indexes number | array

The tile index, or array of indexes, to create Sprites from.
replacements number | array

The tile index, or array of indexes, to change a converted tile to. Set to null to leave the tiles unchanged. If an array is given, it is assumed to be a one-to-one mapping with the indexes array.

Type
Array.<Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite>

createLayer(layerID, tileset [, x] [, y])

Creates a new Tilemap Layer that renders the LayerData associated with the given layerID. The currently selected layer in the map is set to this new layer.

The layerID is important. If you've created your map in Tiled then you can get this by looking in Tiled and looking at the layer name. Or you can open the JSON file it exports and look at the layers[].name value. Either way it must match.

Prior to v3.50.0 this method was called createDynamicLayer.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
layerID number | string

The layer array index value, or if a string is given, the layer name from Tiled.
tileset string | Array.<string> | Phaser.Tilemaps.Tileset | Array.<Phaser.Tilemaps.Tileset>

The tileset, or an array of tilesets, used to render this layer. Can be a string or a Tileset object.

setRenderOrder(renderOrder)

Sets the rendering (draw) order of the tiles in this map.

The default is 'right-down', meaning it will order the tiles starting from the top-left, drawing to the right and then moving down to the next row.

The draw orders are:

0 = right-down 1 = left-down 2 = right-up 3 = left-up

Setting the render order does not change the tiles or how they are stored in the layer, it purely impacts the order in which they are rendered.

You can provide either an integer (0 to 3), or the string version of the order.

Calling this method after creating Tilemap Layers will not automatically update them to use the new render order. If you call this method after creating layers, use their own setRenderOrder methods to change them as needed.

If you want to set a callback for a tile at a specific location on the map then see setTileLocationCallback.

If no layer is specified, the maps current layer is used.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
indexes number | Array.<number>

Either a single tile index, or an array of tile indexes to have a collision callback set for. All values should be integers.
callback function

The callback that will be invoked when the tile is collided with.
callbackContext object

The context under which the callback is called.
layer string | number | Phaser.Tilemaps.TilemapLayer <optional>

The tile layer to use. If not given the current layer is used.
