SKTile

Tile size (in pixels).

Node unique indentifier.

Node type. With a tile, this will never be set.

Overview

The SKTile.tileData property holds a reference to the tile data contained in the referencing tileset. This struct contains attributes like texture, animation frame data and

Overview

Tile global id attribute. This attribute determines the tile data assigned to the tile. Changing this value will update this tiles’ tile data.

This is a wrapper for the TileID data structure and represents both global ID & tile orientation flags.

Returns the tile data “real value” (global id with flags mask). If tile flip flags have been set in Tiled, this value will match the value set in the parent layer’s tile data array.

For example, a value of 2684354571 translates to a global id of 11, flipped horizontally & diagonally.

tile.globalId = 11
tile.flipFlags = [.flipHorizontal, .flipDiagonal]
print(tile.maskedTileId)
// 2684354571

The tile’s current coordinate.

Reference to the parent layer.

Parent tile onbject.

Object is visible in camera.

Overview

The tile render mode for this instance.

• Render Modes
  • default: tile renders at default settings.
  • static: tile ignores any animation data.
  • ignore: tile does not take into account its tile data.
  • animate: animate with a global id value.

Returns true if the tile is part of a tile object.

Debug visualization options.

Ignore custom node properties.

Storage for custom Tiled properties. These properties are set in the Tiled scene.

Return a string value for the given key, if it exists.

Usage

 if let characterName = tile["characterName"] {
    print("character name is '\(characterName)'.")
 }

Indicates the current node has received focus or selected.

Alignment hint used to define how to handle tile positioning within layers & objects (in the event the tile size is different than the parent).

Properties

• topLeft: Tile is positioned at the upper left.
• top: Tile is positioned at top.
• topRight: Tile is positioned at the upper right.
• left: Tile is positioned at the left.
• center: Tile is positioned in the center.
• right: Tile is positioned to the right.
• bottomLeft: Tile is positioned at the bottom left.
• bottom: Tile is positioned at the bottom.
• bottomRight: Tile is positioned at the bottom right.

Render scaling property.

Tile highlight color.

Tile bounds color.

Tile tint color.

Layer bounding shape.

Object anchor node visualization node.

Tile highlight duration.

Enable tile animation.

This object’s CGPath defining the shape of geometry. Used to draw the bounding shape.

Returns an array of points representing the tile’s bounding shape.

Returns the bounding box of the shape.

Instantiate the tile with SKTilesetData data instance.

Instantiate the tile with a decoder instance.

Instantiate an empty tile.

Initialize the tile with a tile size.

Initialize the tile with a tile texture.

Removes this node from the scene graph. Signals the tile cache to remove the tile.

Creates and returns a new tile instance with the given tileset & global id.

Creates and returns a new tile instance with the given tileset & local id.

Draw the tile. Forces the tile to update its textures.

Describes the tile’s physics shape.

Properties

• none: No physics shape.
• rectangle: Rectangular object shape.
• ellipse: Circular object shape.
• texture: Texture-based shape.
• path: Open path.

Physics body shape.

Set up the tile’s dynamics body.

Set up the tile’s dynamics body with a rectanglular shape.

Set up the tile’s dynamics body with a rectanglular shape.

Set up the tile’s dynamics body with a circular shape.

Remove tile physics body.

Set up the tile collision shape. Offset for tile objects should be zero.

Run the tile’s animation.

Remove tile animation.

Checks if the tile is animated and runs a SpriteKit action to animate it.

Remove the SpriteKit animation action for the current tile. If the restore argument is true, the tile’s texture will reflect the tile data’s initial texture.

Set the tile overlap amount.

Informs the receiver that the mouse has moved.

Informs the receiver that the user has pressed the left mouse button.

Tells this object that one or more new touches occurred in a view or window.

Returns true if the touch event (mouse or touch) hits this node.

Render the tile before each frame is rendered.

Custom mirror for tile objects.

A reference to the tile data’s containing tileset.

Reference to the tile’s parent tilemap.

Opacity value of the tile.

Toggle for tile visibility.

Tile flip flags.

Tile is flipped horizontally.

Tile is flipped vertically.

Tile is flipped diagonally.

The offset position of the tile.

Copies the tile object to a generic SpriteKit SKSpriteNode node. If the tile has animation, returns a sprite running a custom SKAction.

Replace the tile object with sprite copy of the tile.

Clone the tile data and apply it to this instance.

Highlight the tile with a given color & duration.

Remove the current object’s highlight color.

Toggle for tile visibility.

Returns the tile global id unmasked.

Pauses tile animation

Returns a shortened textual representation for debugging.

Draw the tile. Forces the tile to update its textures.

Draw the tile. Force the tile to update its textures.

Update the tile’s tile data instance.
