Can't Create Rule Tile

Unity Engine
,
1

Hello everyone,

I have been trying really hard to learn and get into Unity but I have been stuck with a problem for weeks now. downloaded the Unity 2d extras following the exact instructions, even checking other guides. But no matter what I do, I don’t have the option to create rule tiles when I click Right Click → Create.

Some info:

  • I am using Unity 2020.1.8f1, inside Unity Hub.

  • I have git in my path (can check git --version on cmd it works)

  • Inside my project → Packages, I created a folder named com.unity.2d.tilemap.extras as instructed, and extracted the github zip into it.

  • Then in the manifest.json document I added the line “com.unity.2d.tilemap.extras”: “GitHub - Unity-Technologies/2d-extras: Fun 2D Stuff that we'd like to share!”, and saved the file.

The option is still not there, I don’t know what I am doing wrong :frowning: Please help

Are you able to see the following options in do the Right click in the Project Window? If not, do you have any errors in the Console Window, especially scripting errors? This can prevent the menus from showing up properly.

Will these “extras” ever be made part of the core 2D Tilemap package? Seems odd that you only get half of the features in a package.

Some people (me for example) only want some of them. And to customize the few I do want.

I don’t have the ruletiles either and I’m on version 2020.3.1f1

You will need to install the 2D Tilemap Extras package in the Unity Package Manager (Menu: Windows/Package Manager). To view the package, you will need to enable Preview Packages in the Package Manager settings (Gear icon in Package Manager).

Tilemap Extras does not exist though, I have preview enabled but there’s nothing,

You should create your own threads for issues rather then resurrecting existing ones to report an issue you are having.

I just spun-up 2020.3.23f1, enabled previews and selected “Unity Registry” and this is what I get: https://gyazo.com/53784b5170b4ba7fa7756ace5f07e0ea

Without previews I get: https://gyazo.com/90510c05489e04f17babbd526ee86e4f

So you’re saying you’re seeing “[Preview]” packages but just not “2D Tilemap Extras [Preview]”? If you’re not seeing any preview packages then you’re basically reporting an issue with the package manager so should post here.

Yes I’m seeing preview packages but not tilemap extras. I added it via URL but it wasn’t there. (2019.4.3f1) I don’t have issues, since I solved it anyway, just wanted to point it out…

May I ask why you are quoting me? I was replying to someone else today.

Same person… I’m writing on my Laptop which I rarely use, I once forgot that I created an account and never logged out from it…now I’m sitting on two accounts.

Okay but that doesn’t help anyone at all TBH if you’ve already resolved your issue. The whole post isn’t about not seeing the package, it’s about not seeing RuleTile.

It seems like this will only show up in the package manager in 2020.1 and above.

For 2019.4, you can add this through the instructions in the 2D Extras GitHub repository or in the Package Manager:

  • Select the + button in the top left corner of Package Manager
  • Select “Add Package from git URL”
  • Enter “com.unity.2d.tilemap.extras”. This will retrieve the 1.6.0-preview.1 version.
