Hi,

Thanks for the tutorials. In the tilemap tutorial, how can you draw tiles that take the corners of sprites into consideration?

I’m specifically looking to see how this can be done:

Thanks.

Hey there didn’t know whether you were still looking for an answer, It seems to me as though its related to the import setting “pixels per unit” where if the pixels per unit is set exactly to that of your sprite it will exactly fill 1 grid space, so presumable setting the pixels per unit to 2 thirds of the size of your sprite you should be able reproduce the effect shown above. I managed to achieve the effect myself using a sprite that was 96x96 pixels by setting the pixels per unit to 64. Its pretty sweet tbh.

scratch that… doesn’t quite work in practice ._.

[Xelnath]

Yeah, I had issues with the grid being slightly off too.

[Johaness_Reuben]

I don’t quite understand the question/issue. Maybe someone could start a thread and we can discuss?

[Xelnath]

Done.

Based on this thread title, does this mean the new 2D features will be in the 5.5 beta?

[Johaness_Reuben]

Sorry for the confusion. Will rename thread. But as mentioned in the 2D Experimental Preview Release 1 thread:

Please note that this is NOT an Alpha build. The version displayed is 5…5.0a1. This is because it is based on the latest code trunk in our repository and that is currently named 5.5a1.

So the new features will not be in the 5.5beta.

Where is the Tilemap API?

[Johaness_Reuben]

In the Reference Guide and also in the documentation that was installed with the Preview

I see how to define a tilemap logic. Any example of what we’d use to offer in-game level editing using tilemap?

[Xelnath]

It’s basically the same thing, just using non-mouse input to drive the TileMap transformations.

I’m new to the Unity community, thank you so much for the tutorials It’s great to see the community thriving. It makes me feel welcome and will start participating as much as I can effective immediately!

So now that 5.5 is released, I installed this 5.5 version. Which replaced my official 5.5. So am I stuck at this version to use these features or will they be included as I upgrade to latest 5.5 as they are released?

[Johaness_Reuben]

That’s unfortunate. You need to install to a separate path/folder than the release version.
Installing Multiple Versions of Unity

The features in the Experimental Preview are only available in this build - current experimental build is installed as Unity 5.5.0x3-2D. They are not included in the Release 5.5. Most of the features here will be available in later versions, 5.6, 5.7.
