Hello!

I would like to change the alpha value of an entire tilemap layer, is that possible in a direct easy way? If not, what would be the best way to do that?

Thanks!

At the moment, you'll have to use a shader - we have plans to change this.

Well, having some built-in function like this:

Code: 
layer_tilemap_alpha(tilemap_id,alpha)
Would be a time saver for sure!

@Mike: Could you please tell me when will this new feature be available aproximately?

Will this be implemented in the same batch of upgrades as other tile/layer additions or just in its own.

I'm really wanting to be able to turn an externally loaded sprite into a tileset using GML.
