Methods

Draw(GameTime, object, Map, Point, int, Vector2, float, float, ICollection<Item>, bool, Func<Point, int, Tile>)

Draws this tile at the given position in the world using a Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.SpriteBatch or MLEM.Graphics.StaticSpriteBatch

public virtual bool Draw(GameTime time, object batch, Map map, Point pos, int floor, Vector2 drawPos, float scale, float depthOffset, ICollection<StaticSpriteBatch.Item> items, bool hasStaticContext, Func<Point, int, Tile> getRelatedTileFunc = null)

Parameters

time GameTime

The game's current time.

batch object

The sprite batch to use for drawing, which can either be a Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.SpriteBatch or a MLEM.Graphics.StaticSpriteBatch.

map Map

The map that the tile is on.

pos Point

The position that the tile is on.

floor int

The floor that this tile is on.

drawPos Vector2

The position, in screen space, to draw at.

scale float

The scale to draw the tile with.

depthOffset float

A depth offset that can optionally be added to this tile's draw depth.

items ICollection<StaticSpriteBatch.Item>

The MLEM.Graphics.StaticSpriteBatch.Item collection that added items can optionally be added to.

hasStaticContext bool

Whether this tile also has a static context, that is, whether it will already be drawn using a MLEM.Graphics.StaticSpriteBatch.

getRelatedTileFunc Func<Point, int, Tile>

A function that can optionally be supplied to override the GetTile(Point, int) method when checking for neighboring tiles. This is useful for when tile placement in the world is mocked, for example.

Returns

bool

Whether this tile was fully drawn. If the batch is a MLEM.Graphics.StaticSpriteBatch and false is returned, this tile will be marked as an animated tile, causing it to draw every frame.

DrawUi(Element, GameTime, SpriteBatch, float)

Draws this tile on the given ui element, in ui space

public virtual void DrawUi(Element e, GameTime time, SpriteBatch batch, float drawScale)

Parameters

e Element

The element to draw on

time GameTime

The game's current time.

batch SpriteBatch

The sprite batch to use for drawing

drawScale float

The scale to draw the tile with.

GetAutoTileBorder(Map, Point, int, Point, Tile, int)

Returns the texture that should be displayed as the border when a AutoTile draws next to this tile. By default, this method returns values only for some basegame tiles.

public virtual (Func<int, TextureRegion> Texture, Color Color, float Priority)? GetAutoTileBorder(Map map, Point pos, int floor, Point neighbor, Tile neighborTile, int layer)

Parameters

map Map

The map.

pos Point

The position of this tile.

floor int

The floor that this tile is on.

neighbor Point

The position of the neighbor tile querying the auto tile border on this tile.

neighborTile Tile

The neighbor tile querying the auto tile border on this tile.

layer int

The layer of the border being drawn. By default, tiles use layer 0 for regular borders, and layer 1 for special borders, like the little "cliff" that displays on water tiles.

Returns

(Func<int, TextureRegion> Texture, Color Color, float Priority)?

The texture, or null to draw no auto-tile border.

GetDepth(Map, Vector2, float, float, bool)

Gets the depth that should be used for drawing a Tile at the given position

public static float GetDepth(Map map, Vector2 worldPos, float floor, float offset = 0, bool borderOffset = true)

Parameters

map Map

The map to get depth on.

worldPos Vector2

The position to get depth for, in tile coordinates

floor float

The floor to get depth for.

offset float

An offset added to the depth value

borderOffset bool

Whether the map border offset should be applied to the camera rotation using ApplyCameraRotation(Vector2, bool, Direction2?).

Returns

float

The depth to pass to the draw call

GetPrice()

Returns the price for this tile, which is normally based on Price.

public virtual float GetPrice()

Returns

float

The price for this tile.

GetVariationTexture(Direction2, Point)

Returns a random texture that should be displayed at the given position, based on the Textures variations that this tile has. If a tile only has one variation texture, this method always returns that texture.

protected Point GetVariationTexture(Direction2 direction, Point pos)

Parameters

direction Direction2

The camera rotation.

pos Point

The position that the tile is at.

Returns

Point

The texture to display at the location.

GetVisualOffset(Direction2, int, int)

Returns the visual offset of the given x and y values, based on the given direction, which is usually the game's CameraRotation.

protected static Point GetVisualOffset(Direction2 direction, int x, int y)

Parameters

direction Direction2

The rotation.

x int

The x coordinate to offset.

y int

The y coordinate to offset.

Returns

Point

The visual offset.

OnNeighborChanged(Map, Point, Point, int)

A method that is called when a neighboring Tile on the Map changes. This method does nothing by default, but is overriden by AutoTile to notify neighboring tiles of changes.

public virtual void OnNeighborChanged(Map map, Point pos, Point neighbor, int floor)

Parameters

map Map

The map that the tile is on.

pos Point

The position that the tile is on.

neighbor Point

The position of the tile that changed.

floor int

The floor that this tile and the neighbor are on.
