Creating a map

Creating a canvas

Returns a canvas object that can be used to create and manipulate a map, which can later be retrieved as a game map object.

Warning

When creating a map in a folder /skcrew/maps/, a map image file will be created. The file name will match the ID of the game map.

Getting a canvas by map ID

[drawing] map (by|with) id %number%

Getting an item from the canvas

Accepts a canvas object as an argument, which represents a drawable map surface, and returns a game map item that can be used in the game.

[the] map item (from|of) %map%

Getting a canvas from an object

Accepts a map item (of type ItemStack) as an argument, which represents a game map item, and returns a canvas object that can be used for drawing and manipulating the map’s visual content.

Forced saving of the canvas

Note

Maps are not automatically loaded. To prevent them from disappearing, store the canvases of these maps in global variables.

The addon supports automatic serialization of data associated with canvases.
