top down angled perspective (zelda-esque) - different sorting order for tilemap?

[radu]

What would be the easiest way to have a angled top/down perspective where my characters can go in front or behind a wall (that's part of a tilemap)?

I could work with the sorting layer/sort order for individual sprites, but the tilemap seems to be batching the walls and not sure how to play with the sorting order.

Is there a way to say something like descending (top to bottom) draw order and then I can change the ordering on my character sprite depending on the position so it's in front or behind walls?


Also, how would I figure out my main character sprite is behind a specific section of the tilemap so I can make it a bit transparent? Once again, it looks like the colliders are batched as well into edge colliders.


Thanks!

It isn't officially supported but this thread explains how you can modify the code to sort order per row and have your characters fit in the same ordering sequence.
