How to create scriptable tiles when dragging sprites onto a tile palette (instead of default tile)?

Unity Engine

What is CreateTileFromPaletteAttribute used for and how?

You can create a method with this attribute and set it in the Tile Palette preferences. When dragging Sprites or Textures onto the Tile Palette, it will call that method instead of creating a default Tile.

The following is an example of creating a Tile which is tinted Red when Sprites or Textures are dragged to the Tile Palette:

        public class CreateRedTile
        {
            [CreateTileFromPalette]
            public static TileBase RedTile(Sprite sprite)
            {
                var redTile = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<Tile>();
                redTile.sprite = sprite;
                redTile.name = sprite.name;
                redTile.color = Color.red;
                return redTile;
            }
        }

Thank You! I did not know about the Tile Palette preferences. Wouldn’t a method per palette instead of a global one make more sense?

What about just moving that drop-down list to the Tile Palette window? Better workflow, same versatility…
