Games Space Shooter Image Assignment

[ElliotHC]

How is the gold_bolt.png in Space Shooter called? I want to replace that with another image but I can't see anywhere where it is assigned to the game or called.

Open space shooter.json with Tiled. Most of the bodies are declared there.

Thanks but where and how do I open/display that window?

This is the screenshot of a program called Tiled. It is not part of the B4X IDE. Do a Google search and download the program for free

The JSON file is located in the shared folder normally.

Thanks.

Does anyone know how I could instead as each power is created, call it from file.. For example:


Private Sub CreatePowerUp (gs As X2GameStep)
Dim powerbody As X2BodyWrapper = TileMap.CreateObject2ByName(ObjectLayer, "power")
powerbody.Body.SetTransform(X2.CreateVec2(X2.RndFloat(WorldWidth * PositionA, WorldWidth * PositionB), WorldHeight), 0)
powerbody.Body.LinearVelocity = X2.CreateVec2(0, -4)' X2.RndFloat(-6, -2))
End Sub

Private Sub CreatePowerUp (gs As X2GameStep)
Dim powerbody As "IMAGE FROM FILE HERE"
powerbody.Body.SetTransform(X2.CreateVec2(X2.RndFloat(WorldWidth * PositionA, WorldWidth * PositionB), WorldHeight), 0)
powerbody.Body.LinearVelocity = X2.CreateVec2(0, -4)' X2.RndFloat(-6, -2))
End Sub

Ideally set the size too.

Does anyone know how to make the Object from image file without using the TileMap?

Please have a look at the Monster Truck example and check for the box shape below the truck.
This brings you on the right way. And as I remember right in Ilan's example the balls were created by code as well. At least in Erels last modification.
