In order for the renderer to render different tiles with their according textures I set the texture with map[][][].pTexture but what variable would I need to place in the element spaces to get the map to render the tiles correctly?
Is there anyone that can help me modify this loop/structure so that it renders tiles depeing on where the screen is on the map array?
Thanks
map drawing problem
I''m working on creating a tile rendering function at the moment with directx 9. The problem I''m having now is figuring out how to render tiles based on what location they are at on the map. Right now my tile function just shifts vertices and renders 6 640 pixel wide tiles across the screen. My tile draw starts at the top left and then draws six tiles across then moves to the next line and repeats six times.
Variable Defs used
short ScreenTilesX = 6;
short ScreenTilesY = 6;
Here''s my map structure
struct MAPSTRUCTURE{
short TileID;
LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9 pTexture;
};
Here''s my tile drawing function.
Think I figured it out. Here's my modified rendering function
now I would just have to create a function to get the current location on the map and assign those to CrntTileX and CrntTileY instead of just having them at 0 which here is for testing perposes. This code renders all tiles depending on what pTexture value is at the current location in the array. Right now it also only draws one layer. I gonna work on making it draw multiple layers depending on how many layers a map has, but before I do that I'm gonna play some video games to make up for all the work I just did.
