<h2>Intro - Introduction to functions to setup maps</h2>

A map is defined in 2 steps. This page documents map setup functions 
used in the second step. 
<p>
The map setup functions load the actual map into the engine. This
includes functions to load the tileset which 
are defined in the <a href="tileset.html">Tileset page</a>.
<p>
Other functions defined elsewhere are usefull in the map setup step:
<a href="game.html#CreateUnit">CreateUnit</a> and 
SetPlayerData, SetSharedVision, SetDiplomacy.
<p>

Note: This is for the new map format. Not implemented yet. 

<h2>Functions</h2>

<a name="SetStartView"></a>
<h3>SetStartView(player, x, y)</h3>
Set the location of the map stratagus will show to the given
player when starting. This works a little bit like a special 
CenterMap for each player.
<dl>
<dt>player</dt>
<dd>number of the player</dd>
<dt>x</dt>
<dd>x position in tiles</dd>
<dt>y</dt>
<dd>y position in tiles</dd>
</dl>

<h4>Example</h4>

<pre>
    SetStartView(0, 20, 10)
</pre>

<a name="SetAiType"></a>
<h3>SetAiType(player, ai-type)</h3>

Set what kind of ai algorithm should be used. For example: an air based
ai for a map with a lot of obstacles. Call this function only when creating 
a game, not during the game.

<p>
<dl>
<dt>player</dt>
<dd>
The player number.
</dd>
<dt>ai-type</dt>
<dd>
The name of the ai algorithm to use.
</dd></dl>

<h4>Example</h4>

<pre>
    SetAiType(0, "ai-air")
</pre>

<a name="SetHeightMap"></a>
<h3>SetHeightMap(imagepath)</h3>
A pixel in the heightmap represents the height of one tile. This
function is optional. If the game doesn't need a height map, default
values will be used.<p>
<dl>
  <dt>imagepath</dt>
  <dd>Filename of the grayscale image for the heightmap. 
   Black(0) is lowest level. White(255) is highest level.</dd>

</dl>
<p>
Note: This is for the new map format. Not implemented yet. 


<h4>Example</h4>

<pre>
    SetHeightMap("doomworld/doomworldheights.png")
</pre>


<a name="SetTile"></a>
<h3>SetTile(tilemodel, x, y)</h3>

Set a tile of the tilemodel given by tilename at the position defined
by the x,y coordinates. SetTile can be called ingame for special effects.

<h4>Example</h4>

<pre>
    -- Create a uniform desert of sand.
    for i=0 to 32 do
       for j=0 to 32 do
          SetTile("sand", i, j)
       end
    end
</pre>


<a name="SetTileMap"></a>
<h3>ApplyTileMap(tilemapfile, x, y, width, height)</h3>

Apply a tilemap from a compact tilemap file to our tilemap.

<dl>
  <dt>tilemapfile</dt>
  <dd>Path to the tilemapfile.</dd>
</dl>

<p>
Note: This is for the new map format. Not implemented yet. 

<h4>Example</h4>

<pre>
   -- Load the full map from a file
   SetTileMap("doomworld/doomworld.tmf", 0, 0, 64, 64)
   -- Replace the middle square with a tilemap showing a volcano
   SetTileMap("doomworld/volcano.tmf", 25, 25, 10, 10)
</pre>
