I am creating a system to generate a 2D tile map at runtime. Before I start to implement my own logic to set tiles depending on neighbour tiles, I was wondering if it is some how possible to use Unity’s Rule Tile from the 2D extras package?
As far as I know the Rule Tile are only available in the Editor. Is there a way to use it at runtime?
Do you mean paint the Tilemap yourself with RuleTiles? Yup, totally possible: myTilemap.SetTile(cell, someRuleTile). They will check the rules you’ve defined and select the correct sprite just as it does in Editor.
Do you mean create a new RuleTile procedurally at runtime? Yeah, there should be no reason you couldn’t do that but it might be more work than setting up new RuleTiles within the Editor.
Thanks it works now.
There was a reference problem in Visual Studio - so I was unable to find the class RuleTile.
