I am new to Ruletiles + Tilemaps etc… I have tried to paint my buildings using Ruletiles and have encountered the following problem:
In the first picture you can see my floor plan of the building. Now I would like to have another wall in the building, as shown in example picture 2 (marked yellow = missing wall). Is it possible to make this possible using additional rules?
My current rules are as follows
Another question is whether every tile needs to be painted. Since I don’t use a sprite at the moment, you can’t see any, but as soon as I use a visual, it looks like this
So I’m forced to paint the inside of the building as well, otherwise my rule won’t apply.
Yes, you’ll need to sort the rules such that the upper rules are more restrictive than the lower rules.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: I messed up the X’s and tick’s in this image, invert them) since you are using rotated rules thingy, you’ll only need to implement no1 or no3. If you need a smooth transition between no1 and the tile left of it, you’ll need to implement more rules with more sprites.
also your rules are wrong too.
No it doesnt need to be painted. Not sure what you mean in the next parts of the question though.

“But what if the inner wall should not be “directly” next to the outer wall, as is the case here, for example?”
it doesnt matter what shape of walls you want to make, as long as there is a rule for it rule tiles will work.
“Only when I fill the interior with the default sprite do the ruletiles take effect”
Remove the ticks in the corner of the second rule and convert the upper tick to an X in the third rule. For example, in the second rule, you are saying I want this sprite only when there is another tile in the bottom right. That is why you need to place another tile in the middle of the 3x3 square for that rule to take effect.
All you need to do is look at some examples, check out happy harvest demo 's rule tile for fences, dirt path etc.(Under art>tiles):
This is about as detailed as it gets.
Notice the rules in green boxes, the lower one’s bottom left is X, therefore it has a tiny bit of grass on the bottom left of the sprite etc.
