Well the sprite looks small compared to

[dense crystal]

is that UI TMP or Mesh ? @mild mortar

[dense crystal]

yeah just decrease the size until size of square

decrease width/height for the bounds then for the font size too

[mild mortar]

Do I set the position of "Tile" at 0,0,0 because right now it's -50,-50 ?

[dense crystal]

you can but it wont matter much if you pass position into instantiate

[mild mortar]

I have this but it looks so small and there's still that white wireframe from the parent of "Tile"

[dense crystal]

I think thats from TMP but..You could always remake the prefab anyway

[mild mortar]

How ?

Also, the size of the tile will be defined through code you said, right ?

[dense crystal]

if you scale it accordingly

the sprite renderer default scale is at 1 so if you have a 16px PPU sprite, 1 unit is that big and if you doubled the scale to 2 its 32px and so on

[mild mortar]

my white square is 225x225

[dense crystal]

you set that PPU in the texture importer settings?

[mild mortar]

It's at 100 (defautl value)

[dense crystal]

that should be set to 225 then if you want square to fit grid of 1

[mild mortar]

it became even smaller 🤔

[dense crystal]

yeah but now its flush with the grid

you're pretty much working with unity units. 1 unit = 1m

[mild mortar]

alright, what's next step ? 🙂

[dense crystal]

try generating the grid so you can adjust the camera ortho size accordingly

[mild mortar]

I need to replace this RectTransform, what should I replace it with please ? 🤔

[dense crystal]

pretty much 1

[mild mortar]

So TILE_SIZE = 1 ? 🤔

[dense crystal]

TILE_SIZE = Vector2.one

[mild mortar]

The grid works again but there are 2 issues :

• too small
• and the text doesn't render anymore when it has a background (and i think that was the reason I switched to image rather than sprite renderer)

[dense crystal]

you're not spawning it infront of the camera first things, second you are still making child of UI stuff for some reason

[mild mortar]

Oh yeah I still have the code to spawn it with a parent, do I remove that part and delete all the canvas stuff ?

[dense crystal]

canvas can be kept for other UI items like score and whatnot

parent could be something entirely different maybe

[mild mortar]

It's getting better, just the text still not showing and also still small

[dense crystal]

is it not showing or small ? which one is it ?
could you show the tile prefab again

[dense crystal]

Oh you know what, I just realized like SpriteRenderer the Mesh version of TMP also uses Order in Layer
it could be that the sprite and tmp are both on 0 , so the camera is likely rendering the sprite ontop of the text
