Map

The game layer entities

The DDNet client allows players to create and edit maps that can then be played.

A map is made up of groups of layers, here is a description of each type of layer:

Game layer

This layer contains the tiles that implement the actual in-game physics.

Front layer

A layer that is nearly equal to the game layer, it exists to allow 2 game tiles to exist on the same tile.

Tele layer

All tiles here are related to teleportation.

Speedup layer

Has the speedup tile.

Switch layer

This layer contains switches that can enable and disable other tile functionality temporarily or permanently or change their behavior such as increasing the time a tee is frozen.

This is specially useful to use with doors, hammer hit, freeze and weapons.

Tune layer

This layer, used along server map commands is used to define areas to apply said server map commands.

With this layer you can achieve things like lower gravity, stronger shotgun pull, increased weapon fire rate, etc.
