How do I access the array in a tilemap json or csv file

[Kobaltic]

I am trying to access the array that is in the tilemap. Either the json or csv file is fine. I tried map.tiles, in csv it is blank and in json it gives me a super array that has an array of numbers just not the original ones that were used. Thanks.

You should be able to retrieve the data from the cache:

game.cache.getTilemapData(key);

That returns the object but i can't figure the property for the array.

The raw layer data is found inside that object:

game.cache.getTilemapData('mario').data.layers[0].data

Will give you a 2D array of all of the tile indices for the first layer.

While I was waiting I found this Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj) ; and I used that and found this map.layers[0].data[1][0].index. This gives me the actual values too.

You can easily traverse objects by using console.log(object) in a modern browser and looking in the developer tools console - it will show you the object and all of its properties, and let you browse through it at will. See attached.

Cool thanks that should be even easier to work with. Good to know.
