MapInteractionEvent.SKIN_CLICK returned skin issue

Hi guys -- having an issue with skin instance returned in MapInteractionEvent.SKIN_CLICK event. I would expect that if the tile containing that skin had a custom name I would be able to access it using

Code: Select all

skin.parent.parent.name

.

Sometimes this seems to work, other times the tile instance at parent.parent has no name (empty string) or a name created by Flash at runtime, i.e. instance1234.

OpenSpace assigns an instance name to the tile only if you set it in the Map Editor.

Or if you assign one during a drag-n-drop operation? The fact that tiles can be assigned a dynamic name during drag-n-drop is the basis for my assumptions about tile instance names.

In my scenario I am actually modifying JSON on the server to insert some 'system-generated' inventory items (not available to users).

Perhaps my methodology is incorrect but I am simply adding ii, n and trig JSON structure then saving the map again from the server side.

I guess the problem is that you are not assigning a name to the tile instance.
Add a name to an instance on a test map using the Editor, then open the map JSOn and check which parameter you have to add in your custom system.
During drag & drop you can set the instance name, check the IOpenSpace.dragInventoryItem method signature.

hey bax -- yep, that was my original process in determining how to modify the JSON map structure. I'll re-check to be sure that instance names have been assigned to the relevant tiles however I'm 99% sure they have
