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:

> 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.
