How to use the tiles from the 2d-extras?

Hi,

How do I setup and use the rule tile from the 2d-extras in my own tilemap and my own tilemap palette? I am talking about these here: GitHub - Unity-Technologies/2d-extras: Fun 2D Stuff that we'd like to share!

I do not see any properties on my tiles or tilemap, do I add the script to the grid or tilemap or how? The movie here (Learn game development w/ Unity | Courses & tutorials in game design, VR, AR, & Real-time 3D | Unity Learn) uses a custom tile palette, but how do I actually make something like this with my own palette?

Thank you
Søren

You can create a rule tile by going to Assets>Create>RuleTile (its on top at my list). Then you can save it somewhere and proceed to make the rules.

I still cant figure it out. Do I make a Tile Palette First? I guess i need actual instructions. I added to my project and can create the Rule Set but can’t get it into my Tile Palette to use it.

Download the 2d-extras package (either the zip or git clone) from the GitHub page: GitHub - Unity-Technologies/2d-extras: Fun 2D Stuff that we'd like to share!
Unzip the folder if you downloaded a zip.
Drag the folder into your project’s Assets folder. Unity will import everything and update your toolbar. The animated tile was under Tiles → Animated Tile for me.

Hello, I am sure I did everything correctly. But the option “Animated Tile” isn´t displayed on my menu bar when I need to create Animated Tile. My Unity version is 2018.3.9f1

I even installed a new and previous version of Unity. Neither worked to me. I go to 2d extras git, download the pack, unzip it, put it into the assets folder. And that´s it. Nothing changes.

The current master branch of 2d-extras is meant for Unity 2019.1 due to API changes.

Could you try the 2018.3 branch instead at GitHub - Unity-Technologies/2d-extras at 2018.3?

Had the same problem as OP and downloading the 2018.3 version did fix the issue.
