Thanks for providing information without wasting any time. Seriously, most tutorials these days waste 5 minutes without actually showing anything, and they don't even explain stuff that clearly. (or sometimes way too clearly, which wastes even more time) We need more channels like this.
I love this, thank you so much. This is the most concise, efficient, and intelligent explanation I've been able to find. Your voice is also very soothing, while your diction is articulate, so its very pleasing to listen to and understand as well.
These videos are hidden gems. first one I have found on the subject on TH-cam with updated versions and that is crystal clear. these combined with the information from the older videos from the brackeys channel is all one could ask for. thanks!
This was the most straightforward tutorial for Tilemaps that I have found. I have been looking for a little while tonight. Thank you for this. Thank you so much!
I've watched so many videos trying to wrap my head around the basics and trying different things, but this is the best video I've ever watched! Thank you!
Really good tutorial, i'm just getting back to unity after a few years break, and hear the tilemap function was good instead of the Tiled program, so i found you, you now have a new sub :D
Really helpful and very well explained, no tangents, straight to the point, loud and clear Aside from that, you kinda sound as if you were about to cry, you ok buddy?
Fantastic Video, for some reason I always forget how to create the tile maps, in this case Im coming back to Ol'Unit from messing with godot for a year or two, and again... couldnt remember, glad I found this channel, clear instruction, not digressing into other areas, and explained in a way that makes sense, eg. Always check the Active tile map. I remember always screwing that up, in previous projects.
@@bellywash6684 Ha interesting. I don't know how it works in the background, so if it depends on the used tiles or rather if Unity might have changed something. But that's what comments are for, so I am glad you told us about and it surely will help someone else as well :)
It won't allow me to drag my sprite (or the sprites individually) into the Tile Palette. Any idea why that might be happening? I created a rectangular palette in Tile Palette, but it just doesn't allow me to drag and drop.
Just needed to know where the Tilemaps went in the newest Unity version and this popped up on Google. Subbed :) Und schön auch Deutsche in der Szene zu sehen :)
i have her a problem. i create a tilemap called ground and secand tilemap called "kisten" what is your "top". When i put a square on the tilemap "kisten" like you in a green area than i cant see the square anymore.... can you tell me what i am doing wrong? it should look like at 4:36 but it doesnt :/
Hello, I have a tile animation, but I would like to place it in a tilemap, I would like to do all this in code. But tilemap has only one function which is SetTile() which asks me for a TileBase, so the question, how can I convert my TileAnimatorData to TileBase?
Thank you :) Yes, actually this is a great idea. I was planning on doing some more tutorials about tilemaps and already have some code lying around with this functionality. So this should come in one of the next episodes
@@VelvaryGames That's excellent! Thank you for considering it and for the quick response :) Do you have a Patreon or anywhere you can direct me to help support?
@@jimkincaidz Oh wow, that's really generous of you, nice to hear :) Currently not, but I was planning on doing a Patreon and a Discord Server. Seems like I should focus more on this :D
Hello, thank you for this nice Tutorial. Just started again with Unity..and oh my gosh..unity changed so much in this years. Hast du geplant noch mehrere Tutorials zu machen ? Würde mich freuen darüber. Hab gerade im Video gesehen, es gibt nun eine Perfect Pixel Camera :o. Greets Van~
Haha, great to hear. Yeah, I also had a couple of years paused between using Unity, was very confusing. There will definitely be more videos, currently I just need a bit more time for making those. Danke dir ;)
If I try to slice my tilemap, thousands of small tiles are created. All the pixels of my 32x32 sprite will be made into a tile. does someone know how to fix this?
i do have a question if I where to make a small 2d game if I used free tile maps from a website and built my game up of that but created the story and basically the characters dialogue and everything else would I get in trouble for using the tile maps made by somebody else and or maybe added a few more designs to it
Thank you for your comment :) Yeah, rotating is possible when you have selected a tile and want to draw. Unfortunately I just know the key for my qwertz-keyboard, there it's the ß, the key to the right of zero. I think it should be somewhere near there for other layouts. I hope this somehow helps :)
good tutorial but it shows the same as all the others. I now know how to use a tilemap collider 2D for the usual purposes but what about when you build an island and can't fall into the water? I then have a tilemap collider that stops me a long way from the water because 2 tilemaps overlap and the collider for the water sticks out onto the island. How do you do something like that?
Thank you very much for this video. I am encountering a problem that after watching this video and reading the comments as well as other videos on tilemaps I still can't find the fix for... When I click a tile from the palette on the right to draw in the scene, it instead draws a smaller version of the tile. Its around 30% smaller than what the actual tile size should be and shows the background all around it. It's as if I had set a gap between all the tiles to begin with, but that is not the case. The tiles within the tile palette (on the right of my screen) are accurately sized with the tiles/squares, but when I move any of them to the scene its like they shrink. edit: after more video searching and messing around, changing the tilesheet image "Pixels Per Unit" in 'Inspector' from 100 to 53 brought it as close as possible to properly filling up the square. However this feels like a terrible solution. The problem may root from the size of the character I'm using? I set the grid cell size to .3 by .3 so it would properly work with my player/character model. Fixed: Made sure any images were set to pixel per unit to 16. Manually scaled my character/player till it looked right (which ended up being .5 x .5 x 1).

@@alopmemes1964 Yeah, it's simple but a great feature. Thank you for pointing out that a separate tutorial is a good idea, so people can find it easier :)
currently, "slice" in the sprite editor is greyed out. Oooo i changed "Sprite Mode" (underneath "texture shape" in the inspector) from "single" to "multiple." I believe it now allows me to slice. yay :) it does Recommendation to Unity: When a function is greyed out, please provide information on what has to be done for the function to be available for use.
Just change the "Order in Layer" number inside the "Sprite Renderer" component of your player object to a higher number. In the video I set the "Ground" layer to a negative number and the "Top" one stays at 0, so setting the player order to 1 would be enough to make it visible. I hope this helps you :)
Hello I followed this tutorial no issue but my tiles paint fully black? I see them fine in the tile palette but they just refuse to show up ... Edit: It was due to the lighting ... the button at top turning light bulb off in the scene fixed it. Not sure...
Good that you figured it out, lights were my first thought, but I only had those problems when combining tilemaps with unity render pipeline (URP). With a complete standard 2D project there shouldn't be any need for adding light sources. Turning the light bulb icon off seems to indicate that you need a light source in your scene but now a light is added to your camera.
@@VelvaryGames Your completely right. I only half thought I had it fixed by turning the lighting off in the scene (as that was only fixing it in the scene view). It was because I am using URP and it set my tileset default material as a 'lit material' so i just changed that to default material or unlit material and it sorted it. :)

When I place tiles in the tile palette, the order is messed up. How can I place them in the tile palette in the right order at once?

4:30 Quick tip for people where the different layers aren't working. Put the tilemap renderer mode to Individual instead of Chunk.

What am I doing wrong if it won’t let me create a folder to save it in? It just keeps saving create new pallet
You need to create the folder manually. Either inside this saving dialog of windows or directly in unity
If you keep painting over your palette check the unclick the edit button in the Tile Palette.

amazing tutorial, but when ever i hit play, the top layer just disepears, anyone knows how to fix this?
Sorry for the late response. Did you change the Rigidbody type to "Static"? If it is still a dynamic RB it fall down due to gravity.
How do I put my “player” above the map?
Just change the "Order in Layer" number inside the "Sprite Renderer" component of your player object to a higher number. In the video I set the "Ground" layer to a negative number and the "Top" one stays at 0, so setting the player order to 1 would be enough to make it visible.
