This is a follow-up request to https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/x2-solved-help-needed-regarding-object-collision.108455/
The animated graphic ("coin") should appear in several places on the playing field. The positions should correspond to those of certain tilemap objects ("TextVal...").
It is intended to create several clones from a single object ("coin") in Sub CreateObjects after traversing the templates. These clones should be placed next to the objects whose names begin with "TextVal".
How can I create multiple clones from an object defined in the tilemap?
(A relevant test project is attached.)
The enclosed test project is supposed to be a turn-based top down RPG board game for 2 characters.
Planned course: Players shall roll their dice alternately and advance the corresponding number of fields, sometimes choosing which way to go.
Since the interaction of the X2 framework components has not yet been sufficiently understood, concrete references to the required "best practices" would be needed.
The x2 examples were used to create the basic structures and load the graphics.
