);

Parameters

oArea

The tile location.

jTileData

The tileID reference into the .set file.

A bitmask of the SETTILE_FLAG_* constants.

Description

Change multiple tiles in an area, it will also update the tiles for all players in the area. Note: See SetTile() for additional information.

- oArea: the area to change one or more tiles of.
- jTileData: a JsonArray() with one or more JsonObject()s with the following keys:
              - index: the index of the tile as a JsonInt()
                       For example, a 3x3 area has the following tile indexes:
                       6 7 8
                       3 4 5
                       0 1 2
              - tileid: the ID of the tile as a JsonInt(), defaults to 0 if not set
              - orientation: the orientation of the tile as JsonInt(), defaults to 0 if not set
              - height: the height of the tile as JsonInt(), defaults to 0 if not set
              - animloop1: the state of a tile animation, 1/0 as JsonInt(), defaults to the current value if not set
              - animloop2: the state of a tile animation, 1/0 as JsonInt(), defaults to the current value if not set
              - animloop3: the state of a tile animation, 1/0 as JsonInt(), defaults to the current value if not set
- nFlags: a bitmask of SETTILE_FLAG_* constants.
- sTileset: if not empty, it will also change the area's tileset
            Warning: only use this if you really know what you're doing, it's very easy to break things badly.
                     Make sure jTileData changes *all* tiles in the area and to a tile id that's supported by sTileset.
