A Andrew Gray Member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 17, 2022 #1 I'm creating an object from a template in a tile map but I want to set the image programmatically at the time of object creation. Is this possible? I tried the following, and various alternatives, but none worked: B4X: Copy Dim template As X2TileObjectTemplate = TileMap.GetObjectTemplateByName(ObjectLayer, "ball template") template.CustomProps.Put("graphic file 1", "ball" & Rnd(0, BallCount) & ".png") TileMap.CreateObject(template)

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Oct 18, 2022 #2 The graphics are part of the template and are created when you call TileMap.PrepareObjectsDef. One possible way to change the image is by loading it yourself. For example: Code: Copy X2.GraphicCache.PutGraphic("coin", Array(X2.LoadBmp(File.DirAssets, "coin.png", 2, 2, True))) Car.GraphicName = "coin" 'Car is a X2BodyWrapper You can load all the different balls once and then change the GraphicName of each object.
