What are some methods for implementing hexagon coordinates? A lot of traditional hex-based wargames use a coordinate system to identify hex locations. It’s really quite simple, a two digit number is used to identify the row and column: 00,00 00, 01 Row 0, col 0 row 0, col 1 Something like th…

If you want to use the axial coordinate system, just set the grid to isometric, and paint hexagons on it. It is what I did with my game. The only problem currently is that Tiled automap and terrain features don’t consider hexagons to be adjacent when they should: [image] Actually, I think consid…

There’s many ways to do it, but the following post outlines the currently supported system (the article I just linked calls this “offset coordinates”, in Tiled it’s called “staggered”):
