How to get x,y of a tile in world coordinates

[TazmanNZL]

Heya,

Is there a way of finding what the x and y position is of a tile in world co-ordinates?

I can get the tile coordinates in the map itself but I don't know how to convert this to world x and y position. (What is the position of the tile in the scene?)

It should be the same way you convert a point to any other node, though it's been a while since I've done that. have a look here.

I tried that but does' that just set (0,0) on the node? Cause it's not giving me the node's position in the scene.

SKNode tileNode = [[self.map layerNamed:theLayer.name] nodeAtPoint:tileCoord]; SKNode testNode = [SKNode node]; [testNode convertPoint:CGPointMake(0, 0) fromNode:tileNode];

Not sure if I am doing it right but I'm getting (0,0) back for testNode's position ??

Hi @TazmanNZL,

I hope you have figured out this issue. An example on top of the above stack overflow link of what you describe could be done similar to this:

CGPoint convertedPosition = [yourGameScene convertPoint:theSprite.position fromNode:yourSprite];
