I searching about how to custom scripting the grid and tile, and this is most understandable video i ever seen. Thank you!

I found this right in time for Ludum Dare 48. Thank you very much

Your tutorial gives me exactly the info I need in the simplest, easiest way. Definitely better than the Unity official guide haha. Have a sub from me and good luck on your KZfaq channel.

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.

Thanks~ i used this to learn how to give tiles information. I didn't think of this beforehand xD. Now my enemys and adventurers can move based on the tiles they move over.

was looking around for this. nice to know tilemaps can do this. thanks a bunch :)

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.

this video is so underrated, thanks for the great info!

I was having a lot of trouble getting this to work. Turns out that for some reason, my Mouse Position returned -1 as the Z value when converted to Vector3Int. Manually setting gridPosition.z = 0 before map.GetTile(gridPosition) fixed it for me. Thanks for the video!

I think the singleton is a good call here. I'm working on a game right now that requires each tile to have a large amount of data. I thought about using scriptable objects with some kind of helper/manager, your video has me more confident in it. Thanks

omg i was pulling out my hair trying to get the 'click reporting' portion to work, because VS autofilled in ScreenToWorldPoint with ScreenToViewpoint and I didn't notice for hours and hours. lmao. classic coder issues. thanks for the guide btw, very helpful.

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!

Thank you for this good and simple tutorial

Thank you so much for this ! So useful ! Love it.

A super clear explanation.

Really cool video. Many interesting methods and stuff.

Awesome tutorial! Helped me a lot to understand what's going on with the tilemaps.

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. See for reference: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLxggcqf39qtgZs.html

Looking forward to the struct implementation

Genius. I can't praise you enough for this.

Nice one, didn't know about TileBase

Great tutorial! Thank you.

Really helpful, thank you. Just a suggestion, sometimes you finish typing in a line in quick-time but then you quickly switch to the next scene before we even have a chance to look at what you just typed ( eg. @ 4:46). 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.

Fast and furious! Thanks.

Great tutorial, managed to help me solve a few problems I was having. Don't know if you knew this but there is already a class in Unity called "TileData" which caused a bit of confusion on my end when I kept getting an error on the "foreach(var tile in TileData.tiles)" line.

This is perfect!

best video on youtube.

Hello, could you please show, how to add character to tile map? And make his position like Vector3Int.

Awesome video mate. Any chance there is a way to use this system to effect the player character when walking on water tiles?

thanks for the vid

thankyou sooo much :)

Hello, I have a tile animation, but I would like to place it in a tilemap, I would like to do all this in code. But tilemap has only one function which is SetTile() which asks me for a TileBase, so the question, how can I convert my TileAnimatorData to TileBase?

Many thanks for this tutorial! very helpful. I have a query - How would one get Tile and its position with a perspective camera ? You are surely using an orthographic cam.

Great tutorial!!! I'm not sure if I did something wrong. It works great until I switch scenes. For some reason it remembers every tile from the first level and disregards the tile data in the second level.

Good video

So helpful, only 489 subs you've been treated harshly

It is great! I was looking for something like this. How about perfomance? Is it better solution than having more tilemaps and raycast it with tilemap collider?

c'mon bro slow down, I cant even follow your mouse cursor

What if we do this without scriptable object? like creating TileDictionary(TileBase, SpeedValue) and creating TileBase List and in Start iterating through TileBaseList and if Tile's name is Ground then TileDictionary.add(TileBaseList[i],15). and if tile's name is Grass then TileDictionary.add(TileBaseList[i],5). [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); } } }

Thank you so much mr. Schwarzenegger

When I try the GetTile, I can only get information of the tiles I created in-game. Tiles that were already there are null somehow. Do you know what might cause that problem?

Thanks, that is an instructive video. One question, just a scenario, how could I remove some tile elements which the bugs run into.

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).

thanks for the tutorial! i have a question tho, i have tried using this on a tilemap that has 2 layers, one of them is mostly empty and i intend to add the data within both layers to get the result for something else, but im getting an error that the key cant be null, i was thinking on making every empty tile a tile in itself that consisted of an empty image and use that as a tile, is there any other fix you know of?

Have you ever done something like this but using scriptable tiles? I feel as if this is the same thing but I was curious!

How do you drag and drop your tiles into your TileBase array....?

This tutorial was quite simple and effective. Nice work. I just don't get why do you need to have so many blank lines when you code.

Hey, how to change tile palette color when an object passes on it.. Like coloring the path of the object in tiles.

Too many tile... variable name! It might be confusing

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?

This brute force approach isn't the best. You should be able to associate a GO directly with a tile rather than having to scan potentially a long lookup list containing all SOs and tile. Not your fault, but Unitys.

sourcecode pls

There are a lot of bugs in this code :D

in this block of code tileData.tiles gives me an error: 'type' does not contain a definition for 'tiles' and no accessible extension method 'tiles' accepting a first argument of type 'type' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?). did I do something wrong? or does unity no longer have a definition for 'tiles'? if so what do I use instead? foreach (var tileData in tileDatas) { foreach (var tile in tileData.tiles) { } }
