I am developing a topdown game using 128x128 tiles. How can I go about animating the water tiles so that they move but still stay uniform with each other?
Should I create an animation for each tile? I’m not sure how I could create that and still keep each tile in sync and uniform.
Water surface should be animated as separate spriteRenderer on top of tile background.
Update:
That means that you need to create a sprite for your watered tile. 5-6 images.
Whatever’s on the back stays there.
On another layer you add your dinamically rendered water tile. Say you have 5-images on the sprite. So you add these tiles, index them and change indices each frame or whatever flow speed you want. So a row of tilea with 0 1 2 3 4 shall become 1 2 3 4 0 next frame, then 2 3 4 0 1 etc
