Using the Tileset Editor in Godot 3.1 (tutorial)

[@notsurt]

With the tree you can adjust the placement on the tile by using the "Tex Offset" property (eg. (-24, -48) to centre the base of the tree in the tile) and do the same with "Shape Offset" property to make the collision shape match.

you can actually change the offset of the texture, just missed the "Tex Offset" property in the selected tile options, not sure if it makes a difference for the z index tho EDIT: it does make a difference! no need for a second layer just for bigger props

[@joshuaanderson6609]

Wow! The tileset editor is way more powerful than I realized!

[@Gdquest]

In case you got here from the tileset preview video: I'm linking to this tutorial that will "officially" come out next week, as I'm moving to Japan again in a few days. This way it's all set up and I don't risk forgetting it on the release date.

[@edgeisloveedgeislife5439]

Is there any way to autotile 1 texture and give each "tile" in the autotile different scripts and properties? I want to make an autotile that makes a shape and get the coordinates of the corners of the shape with 1 texture. I could easily duplicate it to make an autotile out of multipe identical textures but I think that's a waste and I want to know if there's an efficient way to do so with 1 texture, plus I still don't know how I would add the corners to it.

[@zacktheslayer6564]

not sure if anyone mentioned this, but the last couple minutes is a different way of doing things; in the settings for the individual tileset objects, you can change the z index to change what goes on top.

[@bopsap.gammazape]

You mentioned in the tutorial the tileset used here would be linked in the description - any chance you could add that in, as it's currently missing :)

If you want to have your props in the same Tilemap, it seems that you can set a "z index" in the tileset editor. Should take a look at that and see what it does.

is there a follow up video on this to add a character and movement?

[@EmilioNorrmann]

is this editor a little let`s say, unrelyable ? I've tried this tutorial several times and sometimes when selecting the tileset I can't edit it, it doesn't show the grid and can't addit, unless I load another tile, select the new tileset, and then select my previous tileset and now it loads ok.. same as with reloading the app

[@realFoxBox]

When you said that single tile is always top right and its not always useful there. I noticed in the Inspector that there is an option "Origin Tile" which is set to top right. Can't you change that?

[@Vejitasei]

THANK YOU. Can you please show how to set up collisions for the AutoTitle (so that my player can't walk right through my newly created map edges). I've play around with it, but can't seem to get it to work consistently (some titles can walk through, some get collision, some get a mystery wall several titles away from the actually wall). Thanks in advance

[@SergioInToronto]

Excellent video!

[@Magicman8508]

As a beginner it would be nice showing the whole process. So starting with an "empty" Godot window. From what i understand the bitmap is the opposite of the collision. At least in this example. Is it possible to have multiple tiles for the center? For example one center tile with grass on it and one without and the editor chooses one of them randomly?

[@colly9888]

i don't think the bitmap is the opposite of collision. the bitmap just tells godot what tile to paint when you drag the generic tile over the canvas.

[@Phosphoros47]

Is there an option for autotiling in dependence of adjacent different tiles? for example water to grass or water to sand?

[@chrisvogel.8370]

I don't think it would do this automatically, you'd have to either have multiple Autotiles drawn for each instance, or better yet, have a lower layer of water/dirt and draw auto-tiled grass above it with a 'hole' in it to show the water or dirt below.

[@mothrahdizaztronaut6057]

You say the tileset can be found in the video description?

[@masripaul]

Awesome videos for a newcomer! I'm confused about the "3x3 minimal" bitmask option. You said "minimal is what you can see here, with maybe a few extra tiles". Is there a definition of the full set that "3x3 minimal" includes? I've not been able to find documentation of this anywhere. Also, when drawing autotiles you said "The only limitation here is that the one-cell paths perhaps cannot branch from the corners." Does this mean that you can't draw diagonally adjacent cells? And if so, is this a limitation because of the tileset you're using? Or of "3x3 minimal"? Or of the current autotile drawing tool? Lots of questions in one here - as you can tell I'm trying to grasp how much can be done with "3x3 minimal" and in my case I want to have diagonals, not just vertical & horizontals.

[@MMasterDE]

Btw, the image in your github project has got some kind of strange issue. Basically, it's off by like one pixel or so at some places, so it looks horrendous when you try to do what you do in this video. At least that's my experience.
