Hello all. I am attempting to load an object layer from a TMX file using the same method as a regular layer and this is not working. I looked through the code examples and cannot find anything that shows how to do this. Can anyone explain? Thanks. 

  

Look at the sample test_tmx.py.

It loads a TMX map named road-map.tmx

Replace 'road-map.tmz' with your's map name.

See if it runs, else try to fix.

If you hit a brickwall, post asking for help, with code.

Note: test_tmx.py and its resources comes in the cocos source release, also in a docs and samples .zip and also in a svn checkout.

If you installed from pip you will need to get one of this sources and look into the test directory.

Thanks for the reply Claudio. I have looked at that test files and they were a great help. That is how I was able to load a tile layer. My problem is loading an object layer. For example:

self.resource = cocos.tiles.load('map.tmx')

self.map = self.resource.get_resource('Tile Layer 1')

self.obj = self.resource.get_resource('Obj Layer 1')

When I try to load an object layer using the method above, I get a key error. I can create multiple tile layers and load them fine, but I cannot load object layers this way and could not find a method in the cocos2D API that would do that.

I'm not familiarized with the TMX format, nor the cocos support for it.

Looking at issue 182

I suspect what you want is not implemented.

Maybe Richard can confirm or correct if I'm wrong.

As an alternative, you can look at this post

Thanks for the assistance. I will look at those links and figure out a solution.
