tilemap_set_width

This function can be used to resize a tile map element.

You give the tile map element ID (which you get when you create a tile map element using layer_tilemap_create() or when you use the function layer_tilemap_get_id()), and the new width of the tile map in tile cells.

 

Syntax:

tilemap_set_width(tilemap_element_id, width);

Argument Type Description
tilemap_element_id Tile Map Element ID The unique ID value of the tile map element to set the width of
width Real The width value (in "cells")

 

Returns:

N/A

 

Example:

var lay_id = layer_get_id("Tiles_Walls");
var map_id = layer_tilemap_get_id(lay_id);
if (tilemap_get_width(map_id) != room_width div 16)
{
    tilemap_set_width(map_id, room_width div 16);
}

The above code checks the width of a specific tile map and if it is not the correct size then the width is set.
