Hello everybody, I have been working on the template project for a while now. This is the first preview of the new features, let’s get going!
Introduction
Reusable object templates allow saving any object in Tiled and using it many times. All instances of the template are linked, so a change to the original template will be reflected on all template instances. Here is a preview of the workflow of using templates.
Saving objects as a templates
Saving an object is done by right clicking and selecting the required group to save it to. Group files are XML or JSON file holding multiple templates and can be loaded in Tiled to be used in any map.
Creating template instances
An instance of the template can be created either by dragging the template into the map or using the template creation tool.
.
Editing templates
The dock view serves two purposes, showing how the template looks and allowing changing properties of the template. Instances are immediately updated after any change and the changes can be undone.
The project is in progress and there are more features to be added. Feel free to post your comments and feedback.
