How do I show passage icons on map...

[Sunpire]

Hi everyone

Ok well this is my predicament...

Passage icons, I know I can select them in the database with tiles, However I want to be able to see the X, O or STAR symbol on my map while i edit...

Is this possible, I have read the manual like a dozen times and searched all over the web but nothing... I want to be able to see the walkability while I am creating a map

Please could someone help me with this issue... I really hope this is possible.

Not by default, but why do you need this out of interest?

Thanks for replying

I am making some large Parallax maps, and some of the placement of invisible tiles is becoming quite hard to keep track of... hmmm

what did you mean by "Not by default"? so it is possible then?

You might be able to request a plugin that does it.if you are parralaxing, well then - take the tileset you're using, copy the file and place the copy somewhere safe, put another copy into Photoshop or something and mark the impassable tiles with a black thing and passable with nothing. Save and put this into the game.

Thank you for replying so quickly

Yes I have done this I have set up a tile sheet with 4 invisible and 2yellow and 2 blue tiles

Like this...

I I I I
Y Y B B

with the walkability like so...
X X O O
X X O O

I have also lowered the opacity of the yellow and blue as to be able to see under the tiles at the parallax map underneath...


I know i can do it this way, I just wondered if there was a feature to show the X, O or STAR on the map while you edit...
kind of sucks that this is not a feature...

It would just be so much easier toggle the walkability on and off while we edit our maps,

However thank you for the advice and feedback

I have done this on occasion. I made a copy of the tilesets and put Xs and Os over the corresponding spots. Then I took the original and temporarily put in another folder. I put the copy, with the Xs and Os as a working version for the editor. After the map was complete, I put the original tileset back in.
