SetName

Section heading a tile set's per-tile animations are read from, and the stem of the name each of its tiles uses.

Specification

Applies to: tile controls
File: theater control file
Section: [<TileSet ID>]
Value: string
When omitted: No Name

SetName names the section that attaches animations to the set’s tiles. If the control file has a section with exactly that heading, including case, its entries give each tile of the set its animation, numbered from 1 within the set. Only the first 63 characters of the value are matched against section headings. Alternate artwork for a tile gets no animation. Theater control files lists the entries that section accepts.

[TileSet0631]         ; example set
SetName=Riverbank cliffs
FileName=RVCLIF
TilesInSet=8

[Riverbank cliffs]    ; matched by name, not by set number
Tile03Anim=MYFALLS    ; example AnimType registered in rules.ini

Two sets with the same value read the same section, and each applies the entries to its own tiles by number.

The value also labels the set’s tiles, as Riverbank cliffs 01 and upward in the example above. Those labels have no effect on play.
