Action Layers

Important

To use these action layers, you need to import the "Scripting API Extra" script in your map

You can define special layers that will alter the value of a "variable" when walked upon.

To define such a layer, create a new "tile layer" in Tiled.

In this layer, add these properties:

  • bindVariable: The name of the variable that will be altered when one enters/leaves the layer
  • enterValue: (optional) The value the variable will be set to when entering the layer
  • leaveValue: (optional) The value the variable will be set to when leaving the layer

User interaction​

By default, as soon as anyone enters or leaves the layer, the value of the variable will be changed.

Optionally, you can request a user interaction to trigger the change of the value. Use the triggerMessage property to display a message to the player. When the player presses "SPACE", the value of the variable will be changed to enterValue.

Managing rights​

You can restrict who will trigger an action layer using user tags.

info

User tags is a feature of the "pro" accounts.

Add a tag property on the layer. The variable will only change value if the player walking on the layer has the specified tag.
