Finding out what Tile your on from the VerterArray TileMap Example

[JTeck]

How would you go about showing what tile your on with a VertexArray Tilemap that is based mostly on the example?

Really simple answer, but I'm just lost at where to start with it.

showing what tile your on

What does that mean? Do you want to get the tile coordinates? Or something else?

Coordinates would be good, but the tile number your on; 1, 12, 4 etc. Where the level is loaded, that number array, finding out which number your sitting on.

but the tile number your on

What does "you're on" mean? Who is "you"? The mouse cursor? A game object? Please express yourself clearly.

If you have the coordinates, you can divide them by the tile size to learn the tile index. If the vertex array doesn't start at (0,0), you have to offset accordingly.

Sorry, the "you" is the gameobject, I haven't gotten the coordinates as of yet.
