tilemap help

[gecko]

Can someone point me to a page or pages for more info about using tilemap. I read the class reference but I'm still not sure how to use it.

Here is a quick walkthrough to get you started with the tilemap editor -

The tilemap editor has changed a bit and organized a bit better, but the basics are still the same. I'm in the middle of updating this, should have a fully up to date one uploaded in the next day or two. Feel free to ask if you get stuck!

will tile map work like how unitile works? could you add a video how can we use it?

[unikronsoftware]

@atmuc, that is a very vague question. Could you be more specific please?

There isn't a video yet, as we are still actively developing it and are constantly adding more features to it. A video would be out of date almost as soon as we finish creating it...

i dont know exact 2d tile terms so i will try to explain. what i need is to have some primitive shapes and fill my play area by drag/drop this primitives from toolbar. i want to use collision with this primitives.

Yup 2D Toolkit does all that. You set up your tiles in the sprite collection editor, and set up colliders, custom geometry, etc. After that you paint it in the tilemap, and composite geometry & colliders are set up for you.
