Porymap is extensible via scripting capabilities. This allows the user to write custom JavaScript (technically, ECMAScript) files to support enhanced workflows, without having to fork Porymap itself. While the possibilities are endless, some useful examples of scripting might be:
- Toggle Day/Night Palettes
- Custom Map Painting Brushes
- Detect Tile Errors
- Show Diagonistic Information
- Procedurally Generated Maps
- Randomize Grass Patterns
Writing a Custom Script
-----------------------
Let's write a custom script that will randomize grass patterns when the user is editing the map. This is useful, since it's cumbersome to manually add randomness to grass patches. With the custom script, it will happen automatically. Whenever the user paints a grass tile onto the map, the script will overwrite the tile with a random grass tile instead.
First, create a new script file called ``my_script.js``--place it in the project directory (e.g. ``pokefirered/``).
Next, open the Porymap project config file, ``porymap.user.cfg``, in the project directory. Add the script file to the ``custom_scripts`` configuration value. Multiple script files can be loaded by separating the filepaths with a comma.
Now that Porymap is configured to load the script file, let's write the actual code that will power the grass-randomizer. Scripts have access to several "callbacks" for events that occur while Porymap is running. This means our script can define functions for each of these callbacks. We're interested in the ``onBlockChanged()`` callback, since we want our script to take action whenever a user paints a block on the map.
..code-block:: js
// Porymap callback when a block is painted.
export function onBlockChanged(x, y, prevBlock, newBlock) {
// Grass-randomizing logic goes here.
}
It's very **important** to remember to ``export`` the callback functions in the script. Otherwise, Porymap will not be able to execute them.
In addition to the callbacks, Porymap also supports a scripting API so that the script can interact with Porymap in interesting ways. For example, a script can change a block or add overlay text on the map. Since we want to paint random grass tiles, we'll be using the ``map.setMetatileId()`` function. Let's fill in the rest of the grass-randomizing code.
export function onBlockChanged(x, y, prevBlock, newBlock) {
// Check if the user is painting a grass tile.
if (grassTiles.indexOf(newBlock.metatileId) != -1) {
// Choose a random grass tile and paint it on the map.
const i = randInt(0, grassTiles.length);
map.setMetatileId(x, y, grassTiles[i]);
}
}
Let's test the script out by re-launching Porymap. If we try to paint grass on the map, we should see our script inserting a nice randomized grass pattern.
The grass-randomizer script above happens implicitly when the user paints on the map. However, other times we probably want to call the custom script on demand. One of the API functions Porymap provides is the ability to trigger scripting functions from the ``Tools`` menu, or a keyboard shortcut. To do this, we will usually want to register the action when the project loads. Here is an example script where some custom actions are registered.
Called when the selected tab in the main tab bar is changed. Tabs are indexed from left to right, starting at 0 (``0``: Map, ``1``: Events, ``2``: Header, ``3``: Connections, ``4``: Wild Pokemon).
Called when the selected tab in the map view tab bar is changed. Tabs are indexed from left to right, starting at 0 (``0``: Metatiles, ``1``: Collision, ``2``: Prefabs).

The following functions are related to tilesets and how they are rendered. The functions with "preview" in their name operate on a "fake" version of the palette colors. This means that changing these "preview" colors won't affect the actual tileset colors in the project. A good use of the "preview" palettes would be Day/Night tints, for example.
Sets a palette in the primary tileset of the currently-opened map. This will NOT affect the true underlying colors--it only displays these colors in the map-editing area of Porymap.
:param colors:array of colors. Each color is a 3-element RGB array
:type colors:array

Gets the pixel data for the specified tile. The pixel data is an array of indexes indicating which palette color each pixel uses. Tiles are 8x8, so the pixel array will be 64 elements long.
The following functions are related to an overlay that is drawn on top of the map area. Text, images, and shapes can be drawn using these functions. Items can be drawn and manipulated on separate layers by specifiying a layer id. Items on higher layer ids will be drawn above those on lower layers. The visibility, opacity, position, rotation, and scale of each layer can be changed; by default all layers are visible, have an opacity of ``100``, are at position ``0,0``, an angle of ``0``, and a horizontal and vertical scale of ``1.0``.
This is an overloaded function. Sets the opacity of all active overlay layers. Layers that have not been used yet will not have their opacity changed. Opacity ranges from ``0`` (invisible) to ``100`` (completely opaque).
This is an overloaded function. Sets the horizontal scale of all active overlay layers. Layers that have not been used yet will not have their scale changed. ``1.0`` is normal size.
This is an overloaded function. Sets the vertical scale of all active overlay layers. Layers that have not been used yet will not have their scale changed. ``1.0`` is normal size.
This is an overloaded function. Sets the horizontal and vertical scale of all active overlay layers. Layers that have not been used yet will not have their scale changed. ``1.0`` is normal size.
This is an overloaded function. Sets the angle that all active overlay layers are rotated to. Layers that have not been used yet will not have their angle changed.
This is an overloaded function. Rotates the all active overlay layers. Layers that have not been used yet will not be rotated. A positive number of degrees is clockwise rotation, a negative number of degrees is counterclockwise rotation.
This is an overloaded function. Sets the x position of all active overlay layers. Layers that have not been used yet will not have their position changed.
This is an overloaded function. Sets the y position of all active overlay layers. Layers that have not been used yet will not have their position changed.
..js:function:: overlay.setClippingRect(x, y, width, height, layer)
Sets the rectangular clipping region for the specifieid overlay layer. A clipping region will cause the overlay's rendering to be contained inside it. In other words, any content from the overlay layer will not be visible outside of the specified rectangle.

This is an overloaded function. Sets the position of all active overlay layers. Layers that have not been used yet will not have their position changed.
Adds a text item to the specified overlay layer. Text can be additionally formatted with a `limited set of HTML tags <https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html#supported-tags>`_. Note that only text can be displayed, so text decoration like underlines or table borders will not appear.
Draws a straight path on the specified layer by connecting the coordinate pairs in ``coords``. The area enclosed by the path can be colored in, and will follow the `"odd-even" fill rule <https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#FillRule-enum>`_.

:param layer:the layer id. Defaults to ``0``
:type layer:number
:param useCache:whether the image should be saved/loaded using the cache. Defaults to ``true``. Reading images from a file is slow. Setting ``useCache`` to ``true`` will save the image to memory so that the next time the filepath is encountered the image can be loaded from memory rather than the file.
Creates an image item on the specified overlay layer. This differs from ``overlay.addImage`` by allowing the new image to be a transformation of the image file.
:param x:the x pixel coordinate of the image's top-left corner (relative to the layer's position)

..js:function:: overlay.addTileImage(x, y, tile, setTransparency = false, layer = 0)
Creates an image of a tile on the specified overlay layer. This is an overloaded function that takes a single tile as a JavaScript object instead of each of the tile's properties individually.
Gets the index of the currently selected main tab. Tabs are indexed from left to right, starting at 0 (``0``: Map, ``1``: Events, ``2``: Header, ``3``: Connections, ``4``: Wild Pokemon).
Sets the currently selected main tab. Tabs are indexed from left to right, starting at 0 (``0``: Map, ``1``: Events, ``2``: Header, ``3``: Connections, ``4``: Wild Pokemon).
Gets the index of the currently selected map view tab. Tabs are indexed from left to right, starting at 0 (``0``: Metatiles, ``1``: Collision, ``2``: Prefabs).
Registers a JavaScript function to an action that can be manually triggered in Porymap's ``Tools`` menu. Optionally, a keyboard shortcut (e.g. ``"Ctrl+P"``) can also be specified, assuming it doesn't collide with any existing shortcuts used by Porymap. The function specified by ``functionName`` must have the ``export`` keyword.

Optionally, a keyboard shortcut (e.g. ``"Ctrl+P"``) can also be specified, assuming it doesn't collide with any existing shortcuts used by Porymap. A check mark will be toggled next to the action name each time its activated. Whether the check mark is initially present can be set with ``checked``. The function specified by ``functionName`` must have the ``export`` keyword.
This behaves essentially the same as JavaScript's ``setTimeout()`` that is used in web browsers or NodeJS. The ``func`` argument is a JavaScript function (NOT the name of a function) which will be executed after a delay. This is useful for creating animations or refreshing the overlay at constant intervals.
