Constructor

Phaser. Tilemap

new Tilemap(game, key, tileWidth, tileHeight, width, height)

Creates a new Phaser.Tilemap object. The map can either be populated with data from a Tiled JSON file or from a CSV file.

Tiled is a free software package specifically for creating tile maps, and is available from http://www.mapeditor.org

To do this pass the Cache key as the first parameter. When using Tiled data you need only provide the key.
When using CSV data you must provide the key and the tileWidth and tileHeight parameters.
If creating a blank tilemap to be populated later, you can either specify no parameters at all and then use Tilemap.create or pass the map and tile dimensions here.
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 it.
A Tile map is rendered to the display using a TilemapLayer. It is not added to the display list directly itself.
A map may have multiple layers. You can perform operations on the map data such as copying, pasting, filling and shuffling the tiles around.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description

Game reference to the currently running game.

key string <optional>

The key of the tilemap data as stored in the Cache. If you're creating a blank map either leave this parameter out or pass null.

createFromObjects(name, gid, key, frame, exists, autoCull, group, CustomClass, adjustY)

Creates a Sprite for every object matching the given gid in the map data. You can optionally specify the group that the Sprite will be created in. If none is
given it will be created in the World. All properties from the map data objectgroup are copied across to the Sprite, so you can use this as an easy way to
configure Sprite properties from within the map editor. For example giving an object a property of alpha: 0.5 in the map editor will duplicate that when the
Sprite is created. You could also give it a value like: body.velocity.x: 100 to set it moving automatically.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
name string

The name of the Object Group to create Sprites from.

gid number

The layer array index value, or if a string is given the layer name within the map data.

key string

The Game.cache key of the image that this Sprite will use.

frame number | string <optional>

If the Sprite image contains multiple frames you can specify which one to use here.

exists boolean <optional>
true

The default exists state of the Sprite.

autoCull boolean <optional>
false

The default autoCull state of the Sprite. Sprites that are autoCulled are culled from the camera if out of its range.

group Phaser.Group <optional>
Phaser.World

Group to add the Sprite to. If not specified it will be added to the World group.

CustomClass object <optional>
Phaser.Sprite

If you wish to create your own class, rather than Phaser.Sprite, pass the class here. Your class must extend Phaser.Sprite and have the same constructor parameters.

adjustY boolean <optional>
true

By default the Tiled map editor uses a bottom-left coordinate system. Phaser uses top-left. So most objects will appear too low down. This parameter moves them up by their height.

Source code: tilemap/Tilemap.js (Line 378)

createFromTiles(tiles, replacements, key, layer, group, properties) → {integer}

Creates a Sprite for every object matching the given tile indexes in the map data.
You can specify the group that the Sprite will be created in. If none is given it will be created in the World.
You can optional specify if the tile will be replaced with another after the Sprite is 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 Default Description
tiles integer | Array

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

replacements integer | Array

The tile index, or array of indexes, to change a converted tile to. Set to null to not change.

The number of Sprites that were created.

Source code: tilemap/Tilemap.js (Line 467)

createLayer(layer, width, height, group) → {Phaser.TilemapLayer}

Creates a new TilemapLayer object. By default TilemapLayers are fixed to the camera.
The layer parameter 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.
If you wish to create a blank layer to put your own tiles on then see Tilemap.createBlankLayer.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Description
layer number | string

The layer array index value, or if a string is given the layer name, within the map data that this TilemapLayer represents.

width number <optional>

The rendered width of the layer, should never be wider than Game.width. If not given it will be set to Game.width.

height number <optional>

collides boolean <optional>
true

If true it will enable collision. If false it will clear collision.

layer number | string | Phaser.TilemapLayer <optional>

The layer to operate on. If not given will default to this.currentLayer.

recalculate boolean <optional>
true

Recalculates the tile faces after the update.

<internal> setCollisionByIndex(index, collides, layer, recalculate)

Sets collision values on a tile in the set.
You shouldn't usually call this method directly, instead use setCollision, setCollisionBetween or setCollisionByExclusion.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
index number

The index of the tile on the layer.

collides boolean <optional>
true

If true it will enable collision on the tile. If false it will clear collision values from the tile.

layer number <optional>

The layer to operate on. If not given will default to this.currentLayer.

recalculate boolean <optional>
true

Recalculates the tile faces after the update.

Internal:
  • This member is internal (protected) and may be modified or removed in the future.

setLayer(layer)

Sets the current layer to the given index.

Parameters
Name Type Description
layer number | string | Phaser.TilemapLayer

The layer to set as current.

Source code: tilemap/Tilemap.js (Line 1223)

setPreventRecalculate(value)

Turn off/on the recalculation of faces for tile or collision updates.
setPreventRecalculate(true) puts recalculation on hold while setPreventRecalculate(false) recalculates all the changed layers.

Parameters
Name Type Description
value boolean

If true it will put the recalculation on hold.

setTileIndexCallback(indexes, callback, callbackContext, layer)

Sets a global collision callback for the given tile index within the layer. This will affect all tiles on this layer that have the same index.
If a callback is already set for the tile index it will be replaced. Set the callback to null to remove it.
If you want to set a callback for a tile at a specific location on the map then see setTileLocationCallback.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Description
indexes number | array

Either a single tile index, or an array of tile indexes to have a collision callback set for.

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 number | string | Phaser.TilemapLayer <optional>

The layer to operate on. If not given will default to this.currentLayer.

Source code: tilemap/Tilemap.js (Line 779)

setTileLocationCallback(x, y, width, height, callback, callbackContext, layer)

Sets a global collision callback for the given map location within the layer. This will affect all tiles on this layer found in the given area.
If a callback is already set for the tile index it will be replaced. Set the callback to null to remove it.
If you want to set a callback for a tile at a specific location on the map then see setTileLocationCallback.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Description
x number

X position of the top left of the area to copy (given in tiles, not pixels)

y number

Y position of the top left of the area to copy (given in tiles, not pixels)

width number

The width of the area to copy (given in tiles, not pixels)

height number

The height of the area to copy (given in tiles, not pixels)

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 number | string | Phaser.TilemapLayer <optional>

The layer to operate on. If not given will default to this.currentLayer.

Source code: tilemap/Tilemap.js (Line 810)

setTileSize(tileWidth, tileHeight)

Sets the base tile size for the map.

Parameters
Name Type Description
tileWidth number

The width of the tiles the map uses for calculations.

tileHeight number

The height of the tiles the map uses for calculations.

Source code: tilemap/Tilemap.js (Line 237)

shuffle(x, y, width, height, layer)

Shuffles a set of tiles in a given area. It will only randomise the tiles in that area, so if they're all the same nothing will appear to have changed!

Parameters
Name Type Argument Description
x number

X position of the top left of the area to operate one, given in tiles, not pixels.

y number

Y position of the top left of the area to operate one, given in tiles, not pixels.

width number

The width in tiles of the area to operate on.

height number

The height in tiles of the area to operate on.

layer number | string | Phaser.TilemapLayer <optional>

The layer to operate on.

Source code: tilemap/Tilemap.js (Line 1803)

swap(tileA, tileB, x, y, width, height, layer)

Scans the given area for tiles with an index matching tileA and swaps them with tileB.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Description
tileA number

First tile index.

tileB number

Second tile index.

x number

X position of the top left of the area to operate one, given in tiles, not pixels.

y number

Y position of the top left of the area to operate one, given in tiles, not pixels.

width number

The width in tiles of the area to operate on.

height number

The height in tiles of the area to operate on.

layer number | string | Phaser.TilemapLayer <optional>

The layer to operate on.
