Single Layout, Multiple Levels. Help w/Tilemaps

Hey guys. I'm creating a simple platformer and I figured, memory-wise using a single layout with multiple instances of the same tilemap might be the best solution for different levels. Is this a correct assumption?

How do I save the tilemap configurations into an array and load them to the appropriate levels in the game?

I'd appreciate it if someone could edit this capx. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8-)" title="Cool">

Haven't done much in the capx yet.

You can save a tile map configuration using the tilemap's 'TilesJSON' expression. You can store it as a string - if I need multiple tilemaps for multiple levels I'll usually use a Dictionary with keys named for each level, and the value set to the TilesJSON for that level.

Can you show example too of how to repopulate the map after?

I made different instances of the tilemap but how do I use only one?

I found the download as json action but now how do I save multiple levels?

I'm thinking have all maps in my MAIN MENU layout, save all tilemaps as json then delete all. So the next time a user starts the game the tilemaps will be deleted and accessed from webstorage.

Is this the correct usage? Could someone modify the capx?

Personally I would create the tilemaps in C2, grab their JSONs one by one, then store them in a dictionary.json which you include as a project file and load on start - rather than writing events to populate the dictionary, which I think would mean you'd have to loop through the levels on start.

Yes that's exactly what I mean't. Sorry my games haven't really been as complex to require the use of the dictionary that's why I'm confused.

Using this dictionary, will it be saved locally when I export this game to Android/iOS or will users be required to download all info from a cloud?

If the JSON is stored as a project file and loaded on start, the file will be saved locally, yes.
