Rule Tiles are okay for simple blocked areas, but they desperately need to introduce the ability to detect the *type* of adjacent tile, not just the existence of a tile. They could become truly powerful with that feature.
Ok now this is a feature i'll welcome with open arms. I once managed to code this by hand (tiles that change according to their surroundings), and it was pure hell. Thanks unity team!
It's possible to define for one rule multiple possible tiles? That would be a x10 feature, drawing a random one each time, so the design will be more organic.
Yes, as HPSauce explained, they want to make Unity features into packages, so the whole engine will be modular, and you can choose which parts to include. It might also make all of these parts open source, so we might eventually be able to get custom versions of these tools made by other Unity users with different improvements or changes made to them.
HPSauce and Kasper are correct, the goal is to have as much as possible available as open source C# code. Unity is used for so many vastly different types of content. If you were making an FPS you wouldn't need this, and vice versa. Breaking it out as a separate package allows us to add functionality without bloating the editor. It also allows us to update, release and iterate faster. The new Package Manager functionality will help massively with all this. - Matt
Not that I'm aware of, you can however spawn 3D objects on a grid using Prefab brush, so you could build your own, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes one for AS soon. - Matt S.
So... I have been using unity for a few years but I have always made everything myself, thus I have no Idea how to import things into editor... I get an error when I copy the contents of the 2d-extras assets folder into my project and I cant find said content when I choose import in the menu. Anyone got a tip? Edit: So the error I get is that the "GameObjectBrush" has a syntax error in that "UnityEditor.PrefabUtility does not contain a definition for GetCorrespondingObjectFromSource", I thought that might make things a bit more clear
@@Rob-hm4jx Im pretty sure that unity made an update to the extras package that made this technique usable. At least thats what is seemed like, i never got it figured out lol. if you figure it out you should totally comment what the fix was
@@hippopotamus86 i found another tutorial where I download the zip, unpack it, rename it to "com.unity.2d.tilemap.extras" and paste it into my packages folder and that works. Extracting didn't do squat, I was messing around with the github plugin in forever. I don't think that thing extracts.....
@@hippopotamus86 o wait... by extract you're talking about unpacking it? I thought you meant literally click code -> extract That would be dreamy if you could do that.
My asset even had the same exact name And there are different versions for it 4-way / 8-way normal 4-way / 8-way rotating (less setup) And it had basically the same functionality except for the custom inspector not being quite as fancy :( Im sad But also impressed

This is so great that unity implemented native support for tilemaps. I didn't try 2d tilemap games for over 2 years but now i will test it :)

thankfully i decided to give it a little search before diving and writing 48 if statments.
This was easier than I expected
i'm trying to get it to import, I can't get any of the tutorials online I found to work.
could you tell me how you imported it?
Wow the autoadjust was amazing :D
now all we need is a 3d version of this^^
can't get enough
TheNefari 3d wont come for this most likely. This is for the 2D tilemap
How would you do 3D tiles
Well the main idea is to have block-ish tiles that adapt to their surrounding tiles
and then you can underlay some noise and generate a level in 3d.

most underrated video possible
Nice to have! Will look into it :)
Well done. Well done, indeed!
Seems great but why isn't this implemented into the Game engine itself instead of making separate little downloads? Just wondering.
Oscar Torres because it's not stable yet. It will be included in Unity when it's stable just like post-processing stack.

Unity Are there any plans on adding 3D Tilemap support on this? This would be amazing for level design in any genre.

What if we are making top down 2D levels? Can you do a tile map tutorial on that please.

What I want to know is how to expose the grid functionality in the inspector for my own uses in creating custom editor scripts..
Does this work ingame? like live while playing, in a building game for example.
Is this something that will eventually be available in the package manager? It's incredibly powerful.
2 years later it's still not.
@@hippopotamus86 I was wondering if they added it or not, thanks for reply :D
@@xSeonerx Its added. Just search for 2D Tilemap Extras in package manager.
Is there a way to set rules so that certain tiles have to be next to certain other tiles?
HI! Is it possible that one rule tile combine to another rule tile?
Can I also drag all my tiles into the rule tile at once? Because shoving all of them in one by one sure looks like a waste of time to me
in unity i can't see any tiles on my tile map whether i paint ittt
where can I download platfform VIdeo assets? Thanks
awesome
This works with Unity 5.6.7f1?
I prefer to place the tiles manually in the pallette. I always find it laborious using Tile Rules!!
I can't create a Rule Tile even tho I downloaded 2d-extras and put it into my project :(
Okey dokey apparently the 2d extras scripts had some conflicts with mine. Seems like creating a new project is all i had to do.
I cant paint the tiles in :/
Edit: Restarted and now it works
we want an isometric tile.
rotate the camera 45 degree's
i cant create rule tile
When I download the 2d extras package, the rule tile option will not show up, anyone know why?
I have the same problem :/
@@Rob-hm4jx Im pretty sure that unity made an update to the extras package that made this technique usable.

Trip Dapperson Jr. okay so I re installed it and then made sure to import the whole 2D extras file (unzipped) into unity, then it seemed to work
@@Rob-hm4jx Ok thanks I may give it another try, thank you for posting on how you got it.
Trip Dapperson Jr. no problem :) thanks for replying cos otherwise I would have forgotten to post the answer
this is just what I needed
thanks for it but I don't use unity
Not working with other sprites
Can not find the package, help.
I love it but can you tell me how to add rule tile for unity please !
download the git repository, unzip it and drag it into the unity assets. you'll have the option to create a ruletileset after that.
Thank you@@TheSteveTheDragon.
it's almost 2020 and this amazing tool still isn't in unity by default =/
man i spent the past 3 hours trying to get this to import. This guy just glosses over it like it's trivial....
Never mind, You just click on "Code" and then "Download Zip", then extract the "2d-extras-master" folder into your assets folder. Works straight away.

@@Broockle Your way is reusable I think which is useful when doing lots of projects while learning. Thanks!
OH MY GOD
FUCK
I MADE THIS AS AN ASSET A FEW MONTHS AGO BUT THE ASSETSTORE REJECTED IT!
RIP ALL MY WORK AND EFFORT
Should have been obvious that this would come sooner or later tho :/
But yeah. Well i at least learned something from it
My asset even had the same exact name
And there are different versions for it
4-way / 8-way normal
4-way / 8-way rotating (less setup)
And it had basically the same functionality except for the custom inspector not being quite as fancy :(

Why does he sound like Game Dev Guide?
On Godot Engine it's much more easy to do.
