FlxG.collide with a tilemap doesn't return tiles coordinate about flixel HOT 6 CLOSED

So, the collide callback is returning the 2 objects that collided, in this case the Bullet that collided and the Tilemap Object itself.

So if you have your Tilemap at 0,0, then cmp.x will = 0 and cmp.y will = 0 in the callback...
If you want to know where INSIDE the tilemap that you collided, I think it's just a matter of some calculation... I don't think this is a bug that needs to be fixed, but maybe having a function that returns which tile(s) an object is overlapping within a Tilemap would be a helpful feature...

I agree with @SeiferTim and don't believe this is a bug. It could be useful to return the tile that is colliding, but it might break existing code. I think the best approach is to create a new FlxTilemap method in the future.

Would someone want to mark this as 'Closed' and make a new Feature Request for a FlxTilemap function that returns the tile that is colliding with another object?

@moly @IQAndreas Do you guys agree with our thoughts? If so, I will close this issue and create a feature request.

Do you guys agree with our thoughts?

Yes, I think it's a swell idea. Go ahead and make the feature request.

I was writing the pull request for the enhancement we discussed here for FlxTilemap and I noticed that FlxTilemap.overlapsWithCallback() does exactly that:

/**
 * Checks if the Object overlaps any tiles with any collision flags set,
 * and calls the specified callback function (if there is one).
 * Also calls the tile's registered callback if the filter matches.
 * 
 * @param   Object              The <code>FlxObject</code> you are checking for overlaps against.
 * @param   Callback            An optional function that takes the form "myCallback(Object1:FlxObject,Object2:FlxObject)", where Object1 is a FlxTile object, and Object2 is the object passed in in the first parameter of this method.
 * @param   FlipCallbackParams  Used to preserve A-B list ordering from FlxObject.separate() - returns the FlxTile object as the second parameter instead.
 * @param   Position            Optional, specify a custom position for the tilemap (useful for overlapsAt()-type funcitonality).
 * 
 * @return  Whether there were overlaps, or if a callback was specified, whatever the return value of the callback was.
 */
public function overlapsWithCallback(Object:FlxObject,Callback:Function=null,FlipCallbackParams:Boolean=false,Position:FlxPoint=null):Boolean

I think it does the trick, so there is no need for a new method.
