I’d like to export my tilemap as a list of tile indices using the Lua API. However, I don’t see the tile data in the API docs. I know that the tile functionality is still in beta, so if it’s not yet available from the Lua API that makes sense. Thanks!

Hi there @giogadi, you can take a look to this script for some help: [GitHub - dacap/export-aseprite-file: Little Aseprite script to export the data inside a .aseprite](https://github.com/dacap/export-aseprite-file)
