Create gameobjects from Tiles

[rcsweeney (rory)]

Hey Gang,

Wondering if it’s possible to create gameobjectw from multiple tiles in a TileSet, not Collection of Images. Having them on a Gameobject layer with the ability to rotate + scale freely is ace - and I need to have it as a TileSet for comparability with Love2d. I can make a gameobject from one tile, but I’m working with large objects in my TileSet and need to be able to grab multiple at once - or find a workaround.

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Ta,

Rory.

First of all welcome to the forums!

What kind of game objects are you making? Bosses? Buildings?

Depending on the situation it might be easier to create your multi-tile objects as separate maps, placing something like spawn points on the map they will occur. This keeps things on a grid while creating the objects and allows for setting a rotation (and scale) when positioning them.
You would only see the result in-game, though.

I guess the same answer applies here that I just gave in this thread:

Choose a few tiles with option "Insert tiles"

Tile objects only refer to a single tile. I guess you’ve got images in your tileset that actually occupy more than a single tile in the set. Currently placing such images as tile objects is not supported. There is one work-around you can use to be able to place larger images as a single tile object: store the tile as its own image and add it to an Image Collection tileset (you can choose this option when creating a new tileset). This type of tileset refers to each tile image individually and ca…

If you can’t use a Collection of Images, then one other way out is to create a separate tileset for each tile size (even if sometimes this tileset may have only a single tile). It’s not optimal, but it should work.
