Where is the "Tile Map" function?

Unity Engine

I watched this on YouTube, uploaded 2015 - but where is this option?
according to this video I should click → GameObject → 2D Object → Tile Map
The only option is “Sprite”…

Any idea?

I’m not sure but I think they have held this back from release so far, you will have to role your own I’m afraid.

I think it has to do with the tile editor that is currently in the 2d beta but not in the main editor yet, can’t wait for it as it outshines what godot has by miles and even say it’s pretty close to TileD so it’s gonna be sweet when released. For now you’ll need some 2D tilemap editor like Tiled, Unity Tile Plus, etc.

yea, it looks great cant wait… Problem is that my graphics are hand-drawed, so, each Sprite is unique looking. When I saw this video it looked exactly what I was looking for , like, I want to select 10 sprites in one go, and they will line up next to each other. Any experience with TileD? Easy to use? Does it create a grid like that? Can I simply insert the sprites 10-20 at the time so they line up?
Thanks!

personally I use my own custom editor for maps that a gripped, although I have updated it to place an object in any position, but it’s time consuming to roll your own, I know,and your bound by unity then with your own editor, you could effective move to another engine more easily.
