Features

• Load LDtk levels with all their contents with one function call!
• Powerful mapping configuration to map layers/entities/fields/enums names in LDtk to their equivallents in GMS (in case they don't match)
• Entities fields and Enums support!
• Live Updating! Reload levels in real time!

Installing

1) Go to Releases and download the latest .yymps

2) Import it to your project via Tools/Import Local Package

3) PROFIT!

Setting Up

• Put an instance of oLDtk somewhere
• LDtkConfig() (oLDtk has the basic configuration, you can modify it)
• (Optional) if any of your objects use Variable Definitions, you'll need to enable the escape_fields config and call LDtkReloadFields() in their Create Event

Live Updating

• Disable file system sandbox in the settings
• Enable the macro LDTK_LIVE
• Change the live config's file path so that it loads the .ldtk file from your project's folder
