Hi! Is there a way to add a “search tiles in all layers” rule for the automap input?

For example if there is the tile “X” in any tile layer, then add the object “Y” in the layer “Objects”.

I’ve searched about it on the web, but without luck.

Bye and thanks a lot! 😊

I do not think that this is possible currently… But @stefanbeller should know this.

I’ve supposed it 😔

I’ve changed the topic title, I hope @bjorn will add this function (I think it’ll be very useful).

Thanks for your reply 😊

The automapping code is by @stefanbeller and it’s tricky to change it without effecting compatibility, but I will consider adding this since it sounds useful indeed.
