- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ส.ค. 2024
- Let's plan out the layers for our top down game! We'll be adding in: Walk in front, Collision, Walk behind, and more! We'll look at collisions on tilemaps and using sorting layers to give our game an amazing sense of depth!

easy to follow guide, good pacing, straight to the point! if I have two thumbs I would give this three thumbs up
Thank you Tom 😌🙏 hopefully it can come in handy!
Great video GCL! Thank you so much for this video. The explanation was Very clear, as always. I was using Tiled for the map but I think I'm going to use Unity's editor for the map too. Anyways, thank you so much! :D I'll keep an eye to the stream notif! :3
1000 times thank you, I really struggled to understand this principle with layers, I look forward to your future videos :)
So glad I could help!! Breaking them down into logical layers helps a lot with how I think about them too :P
I think there is another technique, using the pivot point y axis to sort objects in front or behind one another.
using your vids to help make my own , so far so good , waiting for that camera movement vid
Glad you're enjoying it! Sorry on the wait for the next vid - my dad died so we had the funeral and all the paperwork to figure out! Still going through everything so can't give you a date for the camera vid sadly 🙏
@@GameCodeLibraryThoughts and prayers to you and you're family 🙏
I love your videos, I'm able to learn more from you than most other tutorials because your style suits me very well!
However, you say that this series is for anyone as long as we are creating a top-down game. But that isn't really correct. A true top-down game would use the same walking animation for each direction but rotate the sprite to face that direction. I know that isn't the style you are going for with this game but would you perhaps consider a small video #2.5 to demonstrate how to do that?
Thanks
You’re right!! I actually did this in a previous video - but since the sprite sheet I used contained a sprite for both directions, I thought I’d show it this way as well.
You can check out my previous video where I flip the character!

@@GameCodeLibrary I thought I'd watched all your videos. It seems this one slipped through the net. Thanks 😊
Wonderful video. Very easy and good pacing. Please create more tutorial. Just a silly question, what can I do after drawing all the objects but later realize I draw on the wrong tilemap because I forget to change the layer in the palette? :)
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed! You can always use the eraser tool to remove any incorrect tiles, then redraw on the right map! You can also copy and paste tiles with the selection tool in the tilemap, but that can be tricky to get the exact ones you want 🤔
nice and clear, how would you deal with animations from the player that extend beyond the rigid body, this would cause the part that's extended to clip through the point where the pillar is divided between layers
There's a few different ways you can deal with this tricky issue!
One way you could try is temporarily change the sorting layer of the player's sprite renderer - so when you play the animation it sets the layer to be one that you require (always infront? always behind? whichever works best for you!)
There are more advanced ways of dealing with this using customer shaders for dynamic sorting, but I haven't worked enough with those to give any good advice there :p
