I recently got tiled and it's a lot of fun to use, but have you tried googling 'Tiled something something' ? the fact that they named their software tiled means i hardly get the results im looking for lol

And once you've created a thread or opened a thread up there's no navigate back to forum home page button!

Does anyone used tiled ? As stated it's a lot of fun to use although I haven't tried importing a map into GMS so I hope all the work isn't for nothing, I'm already somewhat confused as to how the import is going to work in regards to all the layering..the layering to me is unintuitive, why cant it just set the tile depth based on the y coordinate ?

I love the title of this thread

I believe @rui.r6o might have been working on something to import Tiled stuff into GMS2 well.

You can export resources created in Tiled as JSON files, which means you can then parse them in GameMaker. I have some working code for importing the Tilesets, including animated tiles and some custom properties. Unfortunately I halted the project before getting map resources themselves imported into GameMaker, but I can share the rest of the code without any problem.

I can also try to pick up the project again, but that means it would still take a while until everything was supported. As you'd be the only person so far that I know would need the support I could prioritize the features you need to support, though.

EDIT: Looking back at the documentation is seems that they have added a plugin to export to GameMaker: Studio 2.3 since I've last looked at it. See the documentation.
