Question - Code Copying Layer data from another room

[VengefulSpoon77]

I'm trying to copy the tiles and assets from one room to another, for a roguelike dungeon. I need to be able to copy from a variety of rooms, and the layer commands are very confusing to me. Thanks!

You would want to use layer_set_target_room and layer_reset_target_room afterwards.

This way you can access everything except for instance data - for that you would want to briefly visit the room on game start or pre-generate that data (I made an extension for that https://forum.yoyogames.com/index.php?threads/gmroompack-load-rooms-into-other-rooms.54995/)

Thanks. I've used this, but now more specifically I need to get the sprite from an asset within an asset layer. Everything else would work fine if I could.

EDIT: I've now checked out your itch.io page, your stuff looks great.

You would want layer_get_all_elements and then pick through them with layer_sprite_ functions.
