In case anyone is confused when he's like creating 'TileData' in the menu, that's the new 'instance' of his script, 'TileData', for you, it will be the name of your script. Like 'isSpikeTile'. You will want to make two or more of these.

Very helpful video. I've been slowly bootstrapping myself into Unity, this video ties a bunch of things together for me in a very concise way. Agree with earlier comments that speaking a little slower and slowing navigation down a bit so people can see what you typed would be beneficial. As it was I had to make prodigious use of pause and skipping back a bit.

4:55 - i just want to clarify, I caught you adding the tile map to the script object, but i imagine many people who are very new to coding may miss this, as you don't actually say anything about assigning it, you just do it while saying "Add the script and enter play mode". Things seem a little rushed in these tutorials. like, you don't seem to give an awful lot of time for viewers to read the code you are putting before you change screen and continue talking. It can be a little frustrating having to pause, go back, pause go back every 2 seconds because of the speed you do things. Just some constructive feedback :), thanks BUNCH for the video!

I think a better approach will be to inherit from and create your own tilebase, that way the data is actually stored inside the tile, you have more flexibility when wanting to change the tile appearance and no import method is needed when you want to get the information on start.

Please try to leave content on the screen for more than 1/2 second ;) Another thing, you don't describe the step where you drag the tilemap into the Map property of MapManager. I missed it first time through. Just mentioning what you are doing there would be helpful, it's easily missed.

Very likely. Dictionaries in C# are actually really fast for looking up things (like looking for the connected data in this case). Collider are usually the hardest performance hit, because every frame everything that has a collider needs to be checked if it is touching or not.

[SerializeField] private Tilemap _tileMap; public List tileBaseList; public Dictionary TileDictionary = new Dictionary(); void Start() { for (int i = 0; i < tileBaseList.Count; i++) { if(tileBaseList[i].name == "Ground") { TileDictionary.Add(tileBaseList[i], 10); } else if(tileBaseList[i].name == "Grass") { TileDictionary.Add(tileBaseList[i], 5); } } }

To remove a tile you simple set it to null. So you would get the tile world position the same way, and then tilemap.SetTile(new Vector3Int(0,0,0), null); // Remove tile at 0,0,0

Could you use this scriptable object system to change the tile's sprite to something else? I'm thinking of trying to adapt it fit a season system for a project of mine (changing grass tiles to snow and vice versa).
@ShackMan4 жыл бұрын
you could add this to the scriptable object: public TileBase winterVersion; public TileBase springVersion; etc. and assign the according tiles in the inspector Then in the MapManager: ChangeToWinter() { //go through every tile, get the connected scriptable object //check if it has a winter Tile, if so, replace the tile by using map.SetTile(position, winterTile) } You could even combine it with my other tutorial about storing unique data, by giving each tile a height. Then the map manager goes through the Change Winter function but only does it to tiles above a certain height, then a while later it does it again and lowers the height a bit.

Where exactly do you get that error? In my example where we get the walking speed, I check if the tile is null, and if so, I simply return 1f. That way I never end up asking the dictionary with a null value. If you are using 2 tilemaps, you'd simply have to check for null twice.

Hey man, I was wondering if you know of a way to create a tilemap with a limited size? When you create a tilemap directly in the hierarchy it seems to stretch to infinity in all directions. I wanted to know if I could somehow alter a value which would "bind" the tilemap to a certain size and set its origin at 0,0. Do you have any ideas?
@ShackMan3 жыл бұрын
Sorry, no idea. I think it makes no difference in terms of performance. If you want it because it's tied to an ingame system, you could make a script that is between you and the tilemap, where you simply remove or add numbers. But that wouldn't have any influence in the editor of course.
