Hexagonal and Iso (Staggered) Produce Same Map

[scythoro]

I was just testing out the hexagonal map and found that it looks exactly like the isometric (staggered). Is there a work-around to stop this?

The hexagonal grid only looks different from a staggered map if the Tile Side Length property of the map isn’t left at 0. See also the topic introducing the hex support in Tiled:

Support for Hexagonal maps added

In the latest daily builds, support for hexagonal maps is available. This feature was sponsored by CodePoKE (GJ Roelofs), providing me with the incentive to support all 4 variations of the offset coordinate system. In Tiled this map type is called “Hexagonal (Staggered)”, and the rendering code is now also used for the similar “Isometric (Staggered)” maps. Example based on http://opengameart.org/content/pixel-hex-tilesets-enhanced: [image] The configurations Tiled supports are as follows: S…

I see now. You’re only able to change the “hexsidelength” after you’ve created the map and not during the map setup.

Right, actually this is something I should fix. A field for entering this value, as well as a preview of the grid, should really be part of the New Map dialog.
