Isoetric Height

[Wiggy]

Does anyone know how to have a tile-based isometric game where the tiles have vari=ying heights?

i.e a landscaped area with raised platforms, but not a platform game. (Am I making any sense?)

Can you calculate how high a fired object is when the lpayer (or NPC for that matter) is raised above the ground level?

Any help would be great!

To stack tiles, just change the vertical grid constraints to however many pixels high one side of a block is.

it might help to keep a variable for each tile (stored in some object along with their position), that records their z coordinate (height off the ground).
