Tiled Properties in addObjectDrawListener

Million Tile Engine
#1

I am trying to access the Tiled object properties from a addObjectDrawListener. The object is passed to the event just fine and I can access it with exception of the Tiled properties. I have tried to use event.target.properties with no luck. I printed the top level of the event.target object and it looks like the properties table is not there. The documentation states:

 “Dispatches an event to the specified listener function containing the object name, the display object, and the Tiled Object.” 

so I am assuming that the Tiled Object is there somewhere. 

What am I doing wrong?

Print of event.target:

Hello RoverEnt,

The event.target is the displayObject created by the draw operation. The event.object is the originating Tiled Object. You can access it’s properties at event.object.properties. I’ve also updated my current development build so that the display object includes the Tiled Object’s properties table. The next update won’t be ready for release for a little while, but you can make the change yourself by adding the foliowing line of code to line 6535 of mte.lua;

sprites[spriteName].properties = object.properties

Sounds good, thanks for the quick reply.
