Switching TileMaps

[mygamingproject]

I have a gamescene which has a tilemap,  all working nicely for 3 levels.

However, I have added a new level within the same gamescene but the tilemap is slightly different. I don't want to duplicate the gamescene for the sake of about 30% of the tiles so is there a way of hiding a tilemap and showing another?  There is no renderer attached to a tilemap so that isnt a default option which made my think because of this it wasnt the right route to take.

What would you suggest?

The tilemap renderers are attached to the tilemap render data object. You can show or hide those. That will probably be the easiest way in your situation.

Thanks for the tip but how do you reference the renderer and dataobject as have tried tagging

and then referencing like this:

Code: [Select]


GameObject tileObj = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("StandardTileMap");
tk2dTileMap tilemap = tileObj.GetComponent<tk2dTileMap>();
tilemap.renderData.renderer.enabled = false;

But get the error:

MissingComponentException: There is no 'Renderer' attached to the "TileMap Render Data" game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a Renderer to the game object "TileMap Render Data". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.
GameLoop.Awake () (at Assets/Scripts/GameLoop.cs:36)

Have I misunderstood what you mean?

Yes, Just enable / disable the gameobject. The tilemap render data is split up into multiple renderers which are children of the root object.

Code: [Select]

tilemap.SetActive(false);
