> The only supported perspective is currently 'Orthogonal'

Importing Tilesets :

For the system to treat tiles as entities, there must be a correct name with .ent extension. For treating an entire tileset as the same entity the Tileset Name must contain the .ent extension:

To determine wich sprite frame will be rendered for the entity in-game, one must set a custom frame ('f') property for each tile (0,0 means x=0 y=0)

Tilesets can also be treated as a group of different entities : This can be accomplished by removing the .ent extension from the tileset name, requiring each tile to have an additional property : 'n'

NOTE : The entity name string prop ('n') value must end with the .ent extension

Export Tiled Map as .json

Convert .json to .emx

node ethtiled.js exported.json ( NODEJS REQUIRED TO RUN SCRIPT )

Include ETHTiled Lib in your main.angelscript

 #include "ETHTiled.angelscript"

 void main(){ LoadScene("empty", "gameInit", "gameLoop"); }
 void gameInit(){ EMX('example.emx'); /*add your init. logic*/ }
 void gameLoop(){ /*add your game logic*/ }

Remember ...

That the entity names used in the tilesets must be defined as entities in your proyect/entities directory.
