What’s new?
With the release of Unity 2021.1 2D Tilemap Extras 2.0 is now out of preview. See the full changelog here.
About Tilemap Extras
The 2D Tilemap Extras package contains reusable 2D and Tilemap editor scripts which you can use for your own Projects, and as the basis for your own custom Brushes and Tiles. You can freely customize the behavior of the scripts to create new Brushes that suit different uses or scenarios.
The following Scriptable Brushes are included in the package:
Tilemap Extras also come with 3 sample tiles. An animated waterfall as an example of the Animated Tile and two Rule Tiles implementing a pipe rule tile and a dungeon rule tile.
To get the samples:
Open Package Manager by going to Window > Package Manager
Select Unity Registry in the Packages drop-down menu.
Expand the Samples section.
Click the Import button next to the sample you want to import.
I don’t see a thread related to the 2D Tilemap Editor package so I’m asking here.
Is there any way to toggle the tilemap grid on and off? Right now, selecting the tilemap in the hierarchy view automatically toggles the scene view grid off but there is no way to act on the tilemap grid itself.
Rule tiles are great tools, I really like them, even if I have troubles making them do what I want them to do!
But, they need room in the Inspector, we cannot scroll down beyond the last sprite in the list. And if the last sprite is actually a random list of sprites, the list is sometimes invisible and sometimes scrolling down below the list is possible. Random event.
This is in 2021.2. I also experienced troubles with the + button, the menu sometimes doesn’t show although the button is active. I’ve seen myself clicking on that button dozen of times before “Add/Duplicate” shows up.
I’m using the latest version (2.0.0) in 2021.2. I’ll try a quick reproduction and see about sharing it.
I have a request about the rule tiles: could you add a field that we could fill with a quantity of tiling rules so that they are created automatically, instead of having us click on + and Add each time? No need to remove the + button though, it could still have its uses.
It’s a simple 2D project containing only one rule tile filled to the bottom so that you can see that scrolling down past the last rule is not possible. You shouldn’t have troubles downloading it.
So, when you download the project and open it in 2021.2, you can scroll past the last rule in the rule tile in Windows or is it because there is still room at the end of it and you need to add new ones until the space is filled?
I can see that you haven’t understood my problem. I can also scroll down to the last rule but not past that last rule, there is no space under it to properly see the “Add/Duplicate” dialogue. I edited your image so that you can see what I mean by “scrolling down past the last rule”. Sorry if my English is not good enough, it’s not my mother tongue.
If I understand this correctly, you would like to have additional space below the Rule List so that you can scroll down so that the “Add/Duplicate” dialog does not overlap other content including other windows?
Not an issue for now, most of my rule tiles are done already and if I have more to do, I’ll use the old system. I’ll wait until you publish that new version for other projects.
