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.
I Hate unity for this. Your video was the best instructions i've seen, thanks. But how can Unity take about 30 clicks to place some green 2d blocks on the ground and think this is normal. It is 2024 and this is something like in the early 2000's I think i'll look for something with a better user interface or give up.
failed ,,, when drag the sprite to tilemaps palete EndLayoutGroup: BeginLayoutGroup must be called first. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)
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.
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!
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
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 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?
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!
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.
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 ;)
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 :)
@@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 :)
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).
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?
@@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 :)
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?
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.
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 :)
Can anyone please help me? I have imported all of the tiles and all but I can not paint with the brush. Please help Edit: I got it. Thank you anyways And it was such a good tutorial. U just earned a subscriber and a like :)
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

hi, how are you scrolling the values in the inspector 0:56
One of the most beginner friendly tutorials. Straight to the point yet doesnt leave out anything. Thank you so much.
Thank you, happy it helped you :)
my default brush draws 2 grids at once how do i make so it draws only one
edit: nvm i fixed it idk how
My player gets suck into the colliders
Thank you a lot for this video! Very quick and helpful!
thank you so much. I can't believe you don't have more subscribers.
This is a really well done tutorial.
Thank you, subscribed!
Would you be able to do one on an in-game tilemap editor, like a level editor?
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

NICE VIDEO! This helped me a lot! Thank you so much
Thank you very much!
Thank you. Very nicely explained. Subscribed :)
This video is amazing. 10 out of 10
it worked but the tiles are super small do you know how to fix this?

Ich sah das du deutsch bist wegen der sprache im folder und wollte sagen das das ein gutes video ist aber es jetzt eigentum des deutschen reiches ist
Subbed!! this videos was just what i needed, perhaps you can talk about animations sometimes, keep it going!!
Thank you, glad it helped you :)
Yeah, animations are definitely on the plan but not scheduled currently.
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
good one🍹
This is the one i was looking for thanks
6:25 The Tilemap Collider 2D does not have a 'used by composite" option in 2023.1.0.. What should I use instead?
two words for you ..... thank you
god damn thats a good tutorial.
4:30 Quick tip for people where the different layers aren't working. Put the tilemap renderer mode to Individual instead of Chunk.
Oh thank you for pointing this out. I also stumbled across this lately on an isometric map. Did you have those problems on a rectangular tilemap?
@@VelvaryGames Ye on the regutangular, I was trying to work with different layers but the tiles just wouldn't show up.

Can you also animate tiles in a tilemap?
Yes, check out my video about Auto Tiling, this explains the setup and has a short part of where I show how you can do this.
@@VelvaryGames Oh nice! Thank youuu :D Because i want to animate a floating river but i thought you cannot animate in tilemaps xD

If you keep painting over your palette check the unclick the edit button in the Tile Palette.
Unity seems to freeze when I slice my tileset, what am I doing wrong?
Thank you I actually needed this I swear that most videos are super outdated
i rarely subscribe a channel after the first video i watch of it, but this tutorial was so good, i cant lose your channel :D
We love it! 🤙
you are amazing
i cant find any tutorial that tells me how to add the actual package please can u help
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.
I hope this helps you :)
Thanks
so what do you do at 0:34 when the grid overlay for the tiles doesn't appear?
cute voice
thanks dear
yay
Preciate it
your voice is great,fall in evol with your voice
thanks bro

thank you so mutch your very underated
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.
awesome
