Retrieving custom data of tile under mouse position

[prisma gorge]

Im a bit at a loss here.
My code seems to be just the way the docs let me to believe it works.
Hovering over tiles returns a null object tho

Printing mouse and tile position reveal reasonable numbers too:

print("Mouse Position:", mouse_pos)
print("Tile Position:", tile_pos)

Mouse Position:(386, 154)
Tile Position:(3, 2)
Mouse Position:(386, 153)
Tile Position:(3, 1)

wdym with "hovering over tiles returns a null object"

Can you show the error and the offending line?

Wrong layer maybe? Using scene-based tiles instead of atlas tiles?

If you're getting started it's recommended to use the new TileMapLayer node.

There is no error but Im never entering this part. If I print out tile_data I get "<Object#null>" in the console

I have two layers and I tried both 0 and 1 with no success. Im using atlas tiles I believe

[prisma gorge]

I extracted my TileMap into TileMapLayerNodes but that just created two layers under the TileMap with the little icon still displaying that the TileMap is deprecated.
Clicking on the icon reveals the exact step I took

right, you should not be using a TileMap AND TileMapLayer Nodes at the same time

it's one or the other(s)

[atomic maple]

So if you have your data in your tilemaplayer nodes, there's gonna be absolutely nothing in your tile_map data, so get_cell_tile_data will not do anything

try making the parent a Node2D and not a TileMap

and calling the functions on the children

Thanks that was the problem

[spark hinge]

yeah, that's good, drag the layer nodes out and delete the original.

oh, sorry didn't see the rest of the posts

[prisma gorge]

Yeah all is working
