Reference to tiled Object ID

[Dlost1]

Hi!!

I would like to know: How do I refer to a Tiled/Json object id/name from phaser? 

I created an object in Tiled and when the user enters the area of this object (called tavern) a new game world/map should be opened (the player will enter the Tavern-map). 

How can I refer to an object in the object layer in my Json/Tiled map?

something like:

 var one = map.object.id(x)

if(playerX,playerY == oneX, oneY){game.state.start('GameMap2');}

Any idea's? An example to do this perhaps? 

Thanks in advance:)

 

 

(I have also tried: 

createFromObjects(name, gid, key, frame, exists, autoCull, group, CustomClass, adjustY)

Also attempted to copy the following example, but did does not work (it uses a gid...I do not have a gid in my Json I tried to us the "id" in its stead. This resulted in "undefinded" errors). 

https://phaser.io/examples/v2/tilemaps/create-from-objects

But in my Json there is no "gid"  Json code: 

Quote

    "draworder":"topdown",
         "height":204,
         "name":"ObjectLayer",
         "objects":[
                {
                 "height":80,
                 "id":5,
                 "name":"Tavern",
                 "rotation":0,
                 "type":"",
                 "visible":true,
                 "width":60,
                 "x":1169,
                 "y":1001
                },

Still hoping to get some help (please?;))... apparantly the coin example is ancient.   (https://phaser.io/examples/v2/tilemaps/create-from-objects)

So I tried to auto add a gid myself (the game will have lots of objects): 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38544978/gid-in-tile-map

Quote

this.map.ObjectLayer.objects.forEach(function(element){
  element.gid=1;
}, this);

However I get: 

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'objects' of undefined   <-----------------Huh? 
    at Game.create (<anonymous>:177:10)
    at Phaser.StateManager.loadComplete (phaser.js:28530)
    at Phaser.StateManager.preUpdate (phaser.js:28307)
    at Phaser.Game.updateLogic (phaser.js:34908)
    at Phaser.Game.update (phaser.js:34801)
    at Phaser.RequestAnimationFrame.updateRAF (phaser.js:62538)
    at _onLoop (phaser.js:62521)

So I CAN acces "ObjectLayer" but "objects" gives undefined? What gives? 

Again Json:

Quote

"draworder":"topdown",
         "height":204,
         "name":"ObjectLayer",
         "objects":[
                {
                 "height":80,
                 "id":5,
                 "name":"Tavern",
                 "rotation":0,
                 "type":"",
                 "visible":true,
                 "width":60,
                 "x":1169,
                 "y":1001
                }, 

Anyone got any idea why I get undefined?

Ok, I finally got it:)

For other people struggling with this: I refered to the wrong labels here is what I did to solve it. It is highly likely that there is a better way than my rugged sollution, though. And ofcourse I d be happy to see comments improving my solution;)

I did as follows to fix this: 

Quote

preload: function(){

game.load.tilemap('GameWorld1616', 'assets/images/GameWorld.json', null, Phaser.Tilemap.TILED_JSON);  //preloading the Tiled map
 game.load.text('GameWorld1616', 'assets/images/GameWorld.json');  //preloading the same map again, but this time as text so I can parse it

}

create: function(){

this.b = JSON.parse(this.game.cache.getText('GameWorld1616'));    //parse the Json file so you can use it in Jscript/phaser

this.c = this.b.layers[4].objects;   //now you can refer to the objects in the Json file as long as you follow the document structure correctly. In my case layer 4 contained the objects.

}

 

The whole structure of my Json file to complete my solution:
