You are zoomed way in on your game view

And if you aren't using pixel perfect camera, you might not get a perfect pixel match

#

Anyone know why isometric doesn't mean the same with in Unity that it does in image editing software?

lean estuary
#

Your square is rotated in more than one axis.

dim wraith
#

Not sure where you mean.

#

I haven't applied any rotation

#

I created a square in Illustrator, converted to Iso with the #d Bevel and Extrude tool, exported out of illustrator into unity, created an isometric tilemap and pallette, imported the asset and that is what it displays

lean estuary
#

Your bottom and top have different x coordinate among other things

#

It's badly skewed

dim wraith
#

the asset or the grid?

lean estuary
#

Nothing wrong with the grid

dim wraith
#

also, that doesn't really answer my question, because I am not changing anything. I am just selecting Isometric in each tool

#

I am not making any manual changes to x or y values on any of it

lean estuary
#

Again, you are trying to fit crooked tile into the grid.

#

Make a simple shape, rotate it in one axis and compare

dim wraith
#

That's not the issue. I am selecting the term Isometric in both tools. I am wanting to know why they would be different.

#

I am not changing anything about the asset. I am using both software's definition of isometric

#

no input on the shape from me

#

make sense?

lean estuary
#

Not sure what definition you are talking about. This tile is just crooked.

Crooked.png
dim wraith
#

You're ignoring my question. I uploaded that image. I understand that they don't match. I am asking why the definition of isometric, as defined by both programs, is different.

#

What doesn't make sense?

lean estuary
#

Doesn't make sense asking here what definition of Illustrator of isometric.

dim wraith
#

I'm not asking specificly about illustrators definition, and now I just think you are trolling me or something so i will shut up. If anyone else has an idea about what could be wrong I would appreciate any help.

#

Is there a not dumb way to turn a transparent image into a sprite sheet? Had to set sprite type to "Multiple" before slicing it with the sprite editor

solemn latch
#

@dim wraith isometric is used colloquially for a wide range of orthographic projections.

#

Unity published a document a while back that gave the exact proportions to use.

#

Doesn't seem to be in the pinned messages, but shouldn't be hard to dig up.

dim wraith
#

I worked as a technical writer for a bunch of years and in most of the Illustration/CAD software I've used, they are pretty specific about 2D projection definitions. It was a surprise to see that Unity didn't match with all that

#

Again, very much appreciated πŸ™‚ πŸ––

solemn latch
#

No problem.

#

Anyway, the default iso tilemap is dimetric, I believe.

#

But you can adjust it to whatever ratio you want. 1:0.57735 is the ratio for 'true' isometric.

#

As to WHY it is done that way, dimetric is much more common in 'isometric' games.

#

thanks!

cinder lynx
#

wow just watched the unity 2D character animation video, it seems relatively similar to esoteric spine

#

i wonder if there's a "skin" kind of thing instead of the asset library route, where you can replace multiple things on the character instead of a single part at a time

#

like a shirt might have a torso, upper arm L/R, lower arm L/R, etc, and you'd want pieces to quickly change out as the user gets different shirts

and i wonder how differently rigged shirts would work

Does anyone know if it's possible to get all the tiles from a pallet programmically? Or just all the sprites? I need to iterate though all of the tile objects in a pallet to store them for something later, but I can't seem to find any code classes for tile pallet.

How come the 2D texture type doesnt render some sprites as fully transparent?

Not sure if this is a bug but or the right place for this, but setting Tile.color for a tile doesn't seem to change the color in the editor or game, but if I click the tile asset's Color field the values are set to the correct rgb color values, but the color is still white.

#

Not really. The one I linked was one o my own projects.

solemn latch
#

Basically, you just cut out each piece and any missing areas you paint in

still tendon
#

So I just cut parts of body ? And then attach to character and paint missing small parts?

#

And what is the best app to do this?

solemn latch
#

I use photoshop but anything that supports layers can do it. Unity currently prefers photoshop for importing layered sprites at the moment but anything that can produce PSD files can work.

still tendon
#

and what is the tool you use for that

solemn latch
#

There's no tool to just magically do it for you; you need to learn the basics of whatever software you choose.

anyone know about tilemaps and per tile data?

I made a class that inherits from TileBase but I think when I use GetTile on the tilemap and it gives me a tilebase/my custom tilebase and i edit the values of whats inside the class like a bool it changes it for the tile thats in the prefabs in project view?

#

but i want to change a tile info per tile not for all tiles at once. for example a flag that i set "planted" when a plant is put there by the player

Are Tiled and SuperTilemap Editor still the best two tile editing packages for 2D tilebase games?

long rune
#

@summer carbon your image is both the pixels you see and the transparent space around it. You are looking at the resize handle in your screenshot. It will always represent the entire image.

#

@summer carbon you have a couple of options. you can crop the image in a photo editting program to remove the negative space. but i am betting what you might really want is to set a 2D colider, which will be a box that acts like a "hotspot" or "hitbox" the image . Most the of the things you would do in game with your image will invovle the 2d colidier, and that is adjustable. just add a 2d box colider to the gameobject and then you will have a option to resize that.

Hey so I have this character which has a 40x45 pixel size

#

I want to implement a punch ability so I made a spritesheet with 85x80 sprites

#

thing is how do I go from the starting idle animation (40x45) to the punching animation (85x80) without having the character teleport

#

this is the 40x45 one

#

and this is the 85x80

#

so the second one is now off centered can anyone help me with that ?

#

A solution could be making the top one 85x80 as well even though I don't really need the empty space but that feels wrong somehow

What do you mean by bounces?

#

That is more likely to be an issue with your movement code; especially when you are moving the rigidbody rather than using forces.

Though it can also be due to using discrete instead of continuous collision detection

Your floor needs a 2d collider and your player needs a 2d collider and a rigidbody2d

Hello, I am trying to understand how this isometric game (Death Trash) is made. It's a unity game.

I get the feeling that this isn't using tile map? Any guesses or pointers as to how the dev made this? The terrain looks like one big image, and the movement feels more like a nav mesh than colliders? But how would you handle sprite sorting if its not using a tilemap?

Though USUALLY you'd only add one rigidbody for the entire character.

Even if each limb has a collider

And I have some projectiles that leave effects on the ground (Orange circles).

On the right, I have an orange circle where its fine, its in the arena.
On the left, it overlaps and goes into the void.

What would be the easiest way to handle this? I was assuming masking, however then I'd need to spawn all projectiles in the mask?

Not an EASY way but there are a few reasonably practical ways. Again, the options would depend on which rendering path you're using.

Ok. But which rendering path are you using?

Oh, Uhhh.. I guess built in? Whatever the standard is when you start the project.

But if there is an easier method using another pipeline, I don't mind swapping.

Then you can just use the sprite mask component and set the layer mask of that to any layers you want to affect. Then set the mask interaction of all sprites you want to be affected in their sprite renderers.

@vocal carbon it SHOULD retain the rigging data as long as you don't change the metadata of the file, though any layers that change their layer id will lose their rigging data. If you are making significant changes I suggest backing up first.

You can improve the animated Sprite deformation performance at runtime by installing the Burst and Collections package from the Package Manager. This allows the 2D Animation package to use Burst compilation and low-level array utilities to speed up Unity’s processing of Sprite mesh deformation.

With the packages installed, the Experimental Enable batching setting becomes available to the Sprite Skin component of the Sprites that make up a Character Prefab. As the implementation of the performance boost might contain bugs, you can have any Sprite Skins switch back to the previous implementation by clearing this option in its component settings.```

They call it optional, but if you are doing anything complex I don't think it is really optional at all.

Yes.

If they are installed, it just works.

Does anyone think the grass texture makes their brain hurt?

#

I'm not sure why it presents like that

#

Here's a better example

#

Any ideas?

#

Something to do with the position?

solemn latch
#

@wind grail I'm on mobile so not entirely sure I can see what the problem even is.

wind grail
#

Hard to explain but if you pay attention to the camera position, it keeps moving after the character stops

#

And makes the pixels look warped/glitchy/buggy

solemn latch
#

How are you moving the camera? If you are using easing, that would explain the continued movement. The pixel warming would be to not using pixel perfect camera and pixel snapping.

#

are there any good free programs for making 2d art ?

wind grail
#

I fixed the strange glitchy problem by changing the value of 'lookahead smoothing' πŸ™‚

#

Question - would it be best to import a building as an entire object, or piece it together on the grid?

#

solemn latch

Probably.

But this is discord, not google

#

Is this problem still persist? I've spent half an hour arranging my layers in photoshop to import yet when I dragged it to Unity they just screw them up and make up random hierarchy. What should I change in the inspector setting?

Screen_Shot_2022-02-01_at_17.41.28.png
#

But, does the Hierarchy even matter? Since It's ordered in the sprite editor's Sprite sheet so my organizing isnt moot. I just dont like it randomized in the Hierarchy and it confuses me.

solemn latch
#

Can't you just reorder them in the hierarchy however you want?

modest cargo
#

It's been a quite a while since I used the PSB importer, but my memory is that it generates one sprite, and the hierarchy is for the bone transforms as determined by the skeleton

I need help. So I have a table sprite sliced into 4 32x32. I created a tile for each sprite so I can use them in my tilemap. Then I'm having these tiles follow the cursor around (having to use setTile on each grid the cursor is hovering). This is working but I need to update the position of all 4 tiles! I want to somehow unify them into 1. Yes, I can just put the entire sprite table into 1 tile instead of slicing them into 4 part but I'm using a pathfinding asset which tells if a tile is passable or not if the table sprite isn't sliced it gets treated as a single tile meaning 1/4 of the table is only non-passable the rest the player can walk through.

solemn latch
#

@frail minnow use a for loop to do your setTile on all the pieces?

placid pendant
modest cargo
# placid pendant But another tilemap I made doesn’t do this

It's a tricky thing to nail down because it could be caused by the positioning of the tiles, settings of the camera or the tilemap itself
Other solutions that are worth trying is to pack the tilemap sprite sheet into an atlas, and disable any kind of anti-aliasing on camera/quality

#

And naturally it only matters if the lines appear in game view

#

Though even with all these fixes some people are reporting that the lines won't go away

I’m new to unity and 2d games in general. I was wondering what software I use to create textures and characters

Yes.

Ideally, you'd use a scanner, but a decent camera can capture that too.

Thx. Is there a general suggestion limit of how much frames a sprite sheet animation should have? Game is for mobile? Performance wise?

Every mobile platform is different. And it would also vary based on how large the sprites are; it's more the size of the sprite sheet that matters than the frames.

I think it would probably depend on how your equipment system, but just in terms of the sprites, I think you would definitely need to have a seperate sprite and than somehow parent the character to the sword. But then would that be done via an animation or do you need a whole different sprite shit. I am not sure. If I figure it out I will holler back, and if you figure it out let me know

Hey All πŸ™‚ would someone be so kind to quickly help me with my tilemap? I think i don't have the control over it that i would want to have - i mostly importet 16x16 tiles and some 48x48 (which automatically used up 3x3 of the tilepallet obviously - but now i changed so that the tile pallets grid matches the 48x48 - can i somehow change that back? or change the view at all - or maybe change my workflow working with the tile pallets at all πŸ˜„

#

The selected Tile perfectly fit the grid before and now after i imported another 48x48 it looks like this.
I've restarted unity without saving, hoping that it would change back but it didn't. The imported sprite is gone of course but the grid still looks like this - which leads me to believe that there is some kind of setting for it.

I find it to be rather difficult to find any other online help for it since most of the Videos about tilemaps are just about how to use it, not how to control certain settings so i would be super happy if someone could help me out with it

Is there any way to get the individual Tile object from Tilemap Collider? We'd like to use the benefits of the tilemaps (memory and performance optimizations), but we also need the environmental context (interacting with a tile would, for instance, provide the description of that object, etc.). Our tiles are not corresponding with the grid (Fallout 1/2 system, grid is hexagonal, tiles have different shapes), so grid position cannot be used to retrieve the Tile object. Does the Tilemap Collider cache the individual colliders it batches in runtime?

Late reply but I do know a couple more free art programs:

In my opinion, Krita is a great substituted to Phtotoshop (you have a large choiche for brushes and option to edit/draw. You can either animate and export mp4/gifs)

If not, there are FireAlpaca and MediaBangPaintPRO
They seems the same at first, but you can animate with FireAlpaca and set a comic layout with MediBang Paint Pro (for game, I'd reccomend FireAlpaca)

Also, there's Paint.Net that you can use for pixelart or fast edits (plus a lot of online sites for specifically pixelart)

reposting this here as it seems more relevant to 2D

I'm working on a character customizer for a 2d sprite game. I created a sprite library for each party (base, hair, top, bottom)

I then made an animation for all 4 parts, set to broken, set to both constant. It was working fine it seemed at first. Then I wanted to test changing the library on the hair to something else to see how swapping the library works for changing the hair

This is when everything started to break it seems. Now the hair wasn't animated at all. The resolver showed no "category" set. Sometimes if I manually set the category of would start to work and change the category on its own, but usually it would just not animate

I did notice in the animation that the animation parameter "category hash" did not create key frames or have any effect at all when changing anything

In this video I will show you how to use 2D Animation package and its Sprite Resolver and Sprite Library to create reusable 2D animations.

Previously if we had multiple characters with exactly the same animation we have do create Animator Override Controller and recreate every animation using the sprite for the other character. This was a lot o...

@light scaffold if it is flipbook animation, you can change the sprite being used, either in the sprite renderer or the shader

light scaffold
#

from what I have gathered reading pretty much everything unity as supplied on these new components, their point is you can make a library for each sprite part (shirt, pants, hair) and tell a single animation which part to use

#

so each hair has it's own library asset, then you make 1 animation that animates them, even flip book style, then you just change the assigned library to change your hair while using the single animation

#

I must be doing something wrong. this works perfectly in the sample project, even manually swapping in the inspector while playing

#

about to test it soon, but for anyone searching this in the future, you need to use the "sprite resolver sprite hash animation feature.. the only one that does not auto add on it's own. it didn't even add when I right clicked to add all sprite resolver properties

light scaffold
#

yep fully works now

#

last issue I had: labels must also match it seems

#

the frame label of each same category between each library asset must match pretty much

I seem to be having some issues with game objects spawned by Rule Tiles. I have a dungeon generation system where each room has its own tilemap for obstacles, every room that has this rule tile that spawns a spike object (as shown in picture) it will spawn one (maybe more, can't tell) directly in the center of the room. It only does this in builds, it does not do this in the editor so I have no idea what could be causing it.

i am using 2021.2.12f, tested WebGL and Windows builds, issue happens in both. There is no code that affects the positions of these objects and nothing that instantiates them, the only thing that should instantiate a copy of the prefab is the rule tile which I have placed manually in each room, i know i could probably avoid this issue entirely by placing the spike prefabs manually instead of relying on a rule tile to instantiate them, but i'd also like to get this figured out so i know how to fix it for future projects

That's my guess as well. The edges of the building and character are antialiased, and the shadows are completely flat. Compare the silhouettes and shadows of the trees with those of the buildings and character.

It's hard to say exactly, but it looks like many rows of pixels are double height while others are single. This could be a stretching or zooming issue due to the resolution the video was captured at compared to the pixels per unit you're using on the tilemap and tile sprites, or maybe the sprite coordinates are bad or the sprite source texture is configured to wrap and the tiles on that part of the texture are wrapping to the other side of the texture. The texture wrap mode should probably be set to clamp.

#

Every red row looks uses two pixels. The Yellow row aligns with your seam.

DoubleHeightRow.png
wind grail
#

Oh you're right. Let me try using clamp mode if it isn't set that way already.

#

It seems like clamp is the default

wind grail
#

I fixed it the tearing by creating a sprite atlas but I'm not sure about the double pixel issue

solemn latch
#

What scaling ratio are you using between the pixels and your screen?

wind grail
#

16 pixels per unit, 2048 pixels max (if that's what you're asking, I'm very new to this!)

cobalt raptor
#

@wind grail make sure your tiles have bleeding edges

#

looks like your tiles are bumping into each other (on the tilemap texture) causing them to bleed together in certain situations

#

this can kind of be avoided if you are using a pixel perfect camera, but I've never found a method that is more reliable than making sure your tiles are bleed-proof

pure flax
#

I rigged these, as 2 different skeletons, is that the best way?

unknown.png
#

ideally it would be connected to the same skeleton?

#

(as now, I have to manually sync the 2 skellys, if changing from front / side / back views)

#

and try to make the animations match if changing from front / side during one

cobalt raptor
#

I don't think unity's 2d skeleton system is robust enough to support having them be one skeleton

pure flax
#

its a shame they are so 2d, it would work if it let you rotate them

cobalt raptor
#

I mean you could make it a 3d model I suppose

pure flax
#

which you can, but then you cant see the bones, and also, you cant rotate a copy pasted sprite bone geometry map

#

if you could do those 2 things would work perfect

#

the sprite would get snapped onto a "face" of the bone. (an angle of 0 to 360)

solemn latch
#

Those are similar enough that you could probably use one skeleton for both views

pure flax
#

ohh yes I think I see how now πŸ˜„

#

my problem, is my spritesheets are too diffferent, not unity ahaha

#

noo, cant rotate the sprites on the bones

#

e.g., this would be mapped mostly perfect, to the same skelly, if i could rotate the sprites 90 deg

#

but it can only be mapped the the skel;eton in its 0 degree origin pose:

#

unless theres a way? :S

solemn latch
#

Why would you need it to be 90 degrees?

#

Just swap the sprite being displayed for each bone

modest cargo
solemn latch
#

You don't need sprite swap. You can literally just enable and disable the sprites.

#

Though yes, you can use sprite swap for that if you're a masochist.

modest cargo
pure flax
#

Because, as in last image, the sprites need to snap onto the skeleton, when its rotated 90 degrees

#

So i can sprite swap etc no probs, but the sprites are in the wrpng place

#

If you rotated the bones 90 degrees, the sprites would be in the right place

#

(E.g, the legs and arms, would be on top of each other, in profile view, not next to)

#

And then my sprites would be perfectly alogned

#

The 2nd from last image, ahows the skeleton rotated, and if the sprites snapped on at that plane, would be perfect)

#

Basically, the sprites dont fit onto, the skeleton, when the skeleton is viewed from in front, but if you lpok at the skelly in 3d view from the side, then the sprites fit perfectly onto that

#

And also, need to be snapped from that same angle, so they are visible if charecter is rotated 90

Blender Grease Pencil Head-Turn Part 2: Rigging

In this video, we will see how to apply a simple Grease Pencil rig to our model. We will be using an armature, lattices, and basic constraints.

@modest cargo

#

particularly the mouth control slider -- you could theoretically have a slider that would switch the sprite's facing direction depending on where it was

modest cargo
#

No reason you couldn't

cobalt raptor
#

suppose it's possible to do that using a script variable that you can then animate, but I was just saying that unity's bone system, particularly in 2d is not advanced to be able to support animation controls like this in blender

modest cargo
#

I think 2D animation has some constraint components that can do something similar, and Animation Rigging has even more constraints that would be useful if you want to implement something like that
But it does "support" it, even if it might not be possible without scripting

#

Using modifiers and constraints to enhance animation in blender is not fundamentally different from using code and components to do the same in unity

pure flax
#

so theres no way to snap the sprite, to the back, or side of the bone, instead of the current front?

modest cargo
#

I've never tried to rotate a 2D armature in 3D space
Seems like a much less convoluted approach would be to swap the sprites between "sideways" and "forward" facing variants

pure flax
#

yeah, when i map my side sprites, onto the front skeleton:

unknown.png
#

instead of:

unknown.png
#

if the sprites where 90 rotated, would be perfect

#

(e.g. the arms, should be in line, not side by side)

#

(only difference is need to rotate skeleton 90, before applying the swapped sprites)

modest cargo
#

Sprites are only meant to be rotated around the depth axis
Stick to that rule until you know what you're doing

#

will save you a bunch of headaches

pure flax
#

yeah i just using 2 skeletons instad now, but if i could apply the sprites onto the side of the bone, instead of front could code a 3d model in 2d

modest cargo
#

It's technically possible but would invite a whole lot more problems than it would solve

solemn latch
worn zealot
#

You can do a lot even without scripting. This is just using a simple 2d blend in the animator between direction poses, for a 'joystick' like control similar to what the guy in the video is doing. Though obviously a script to control it would make things easier. Would also be nice if unity had a FFD lattice or the like. https://i.imgur.com/BL9cfGJ.mp4

(The jerkiness is because I'm puppeteering it in real time with a mouse; you can do a lot better with keyframes.)

But yeah, it is just bones moving/scaling the facial features, and nine keyframes(one for each direction and a neutral one).

#

Owh, thanks :c

modest cargo
#

If it was implemented I think you might very quickly run into more limitations, like also needing to control the light height, or the silhouette of the shadow

#

Which would be nice to have but at that point you could just use 3D lights and shadow casters instead

muted mica
#

3D lights does not affect at all my tilemap and my sprites

modest cargo
#

They'd need to be textured quads instead of sprites (which sprites technically also are) so the workflow would be different but end result mostly the same

I don't know why Unity made a whole new (limited) lighting system instead of modifying sprites to work with 3D lights

Hey everyone, came here just to ask one thing. I have installed unity only a day ago and am encountering a problem already. I wanted to make a simple 2d platformer by using tilemaps, so when I wanted to make a tilesheet I first made a spritesheet out of Geometry Dash sprites that will be easy to understand, made some slicing in Unity, but then some of the spliced sprites are broken a bit in the bottom right corner. What made this happen and how do I fix this? I would just stop using spritesheets if it's mandatory, but using sprite sheets is much better in my opinion than having everything separated.

Heya, a). Im not sure if this is where I should ask this
b). Im making a top down 3d game where I have a texture Atlas for the vlaue / back of all my cards,
and a custom mesh I exported and have UV unwrapped.

#

Is it possible to project a certain card part over a specific UV area?
From what all my searches tell me I need to know the UV indexes and remap the meshUV's which is a problem because my card mesh has bevelled edges.

unknown.png
#

I cant even find out what verts are assigned to which indexes, let alone placing them over a curve for each corner

#

c). is there even any point to using a texture atlas here? should I just import each card texture as a separate image?
Overall I would need 61 different textures (above are just some cards that I am testing this with)

fading raft
#

Okay So I went way down the wron avenue for this (maybe)
My current solution has me remap the UV in my 3d software to exactly one of the cards.

unknown.png
#

then I just change the material offset.
The offset value is calculated as percentage width of a card, THen I'm just going to create a new copy of the material when the mesh is spawned and change the offset via code

Was just curious of the differences..

Obviously some editor differences could be getting in the way, they might be identical in built projects, i don't know.. but definitely 2020 was the winner

Would be thankfull if somebody could provide an Idea to help me out πŸ™‚ Hope the following Pictures give you an example what i am looking for

I have a PNG of this spritesheet, is there a way to turn this into a tilemap in Unity?

#

so i can use it here

now how do i import them tho

IOH

dim wraith
#

Then in there you can set the size of the sprites and slice them into items useable in the pallete

sharp cloak
#

wait

#

oh wait one sec

#

YOO IT WORKS

ez pz

yeah I had forgot to circle the Sprite editor button, sorry lol

Isometric rule tiles are very odd, they don't behave well with ramps it seems

why do i get these weird lines ?

Hi! I've tried asking this question in the scripting section, but it seems like that chat is primarily focussed to 3D. I've noticed some programmers here in this 2D chat, so I'm trying to ask the question here;

I'm trying to stop the character (Polygon Collider 2D) from moving through a wall (Tilemap Collider 2D).

1 var hitResults = new RaycastHit2D[10];
2 var hitX = collider.Cast(new Vector2(desiredX, 0), bodyFilter, hitResults);
3 //var test = new Collider2D[10];
4 //hitX = collider.OverlapCollider(bodyFilter, test);
5 if (hitX == 0)
6 {
7     transform.Translate(desiredX, 0, 0);
8 }

Why does the character not stop moving horizontally when I run the code like this? I proved the character can collide with the wall because it does stop moving horizontally when I uncomment the two lines (3&4). Line 3 & 4 were only meant for debugging/proving that the ContactFilter2D bodyFilter is set up correctly.

I've followed a tutorial on how to make a top down 2d game, they recommended implementing manual collision detection. How would you let the collider stop the character's motion?

Yeah I understand that's difficult without knowing the project. In the documentation, I'm reading rigidbodies are meant for physics simulations, but I'm not planning on doing anything with gravity or forces

#

I did just find a workaround; the cast method does work on a CapsuleCollider2D, so i'm using that for now

Hmm. I'll keep that in mind if I want to make the switch. Thank you ^^

Well yeah I do like the extra control it gives me to code all the movement and collissions myself. I've been programming in C# for years now, so I'm quite comfortable with the language. The Unity engine is somewhat new to me though

#

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me ^^ I'll have to study the rigidbody behaviour some more

I think you can ask about your current problem in one of the coding channels, but do try to keep crossposting at minimum
I'm not much of a coder so I prefer when the engine does the work for me

void elk
#

Yeah, this is great input. I love that you're showing another way through the engine itself, instead of custom code. I've tried the coding channels, but they couldn't help me

anyone know why my character sprite is behind the tilemap?
