Read Tiled Map object properties with python arcade library

i am making a platformer game with python arcade and Tiled Map Editor but i havent find a way i can access object custom attributes

i loaded tiled map like this:

self.tile_map = arcade.load_tilemap("TiledMap.json", scaling=1)

and i tried access object custom attributes like this:

self.enemies = self.tile_map.sprite_lists.get("Enemies", arcade.SpriteList())
for e in self.enemies:
    print(e.custom_attribute)

but then i got this error:

AttributeError: 'Sprite' object has no attribute 'custom_attribute'

is there any way i can access custom_attribute?

Solution

  • Short answer is no: the type arcade.Sprite() does not (as the error states) contain a custom_attribute attribute. See the docs here: https://api.arcade.academy/en/latest/api/sprites.html#arcade-sprite

    A quick google of the arcade library (which I'm not familiar with at all) doesn't show any hits for anything that might contain a custom_attribute attribute. Where did you get it from, are you setting it anywhere?
