Enumerations

enum Mode:

  • MODE_SQUARE = 0 — Orthogonal orientation mode.

Constants

  • INVALID_CELL = -1 — Returned when a cell doesn’t exist.

Description

Node for 2D tile-based maps. Tilemaps use a TileSet which contain a list of tiles (textures plus optional collision, navigation, and/or occluder shapes) which are used to create grid-based maps.

Property Descriptions

Setter set_clip_uv(value)
Getter get_clip_uv()

Setter set_custom_transform(value)
Getter get_custom_transform()

The custom Transform2D to be applied to the TileMap’s cells.


Setter set_half_offset(value)
Getter get_half_offset()

Amount to offset alternating tiles. Uses HALF_OFFSET_* constants. Default value: HALF_OFFSET_DISABLED.


  • int cell_quadrant_size
Setter set_quadrant_size(value)
Getter get_quadrant_size()

The TileMap’s quadrant size. Optimizes drawing by batching, using chunks of this size. Default value: 16.


Setter set_cell_size(value)
Getter get_cell_size()

The TileMap’s cell size.


Setter set_tile_origin(value)
Getter get_tile_origin()

Position for tile origin. Uses TILE_ORIGIN_* constants. Default value: TILE_ORIGIN_TOP_LEFT.


Setter set_y_sort_mode(value)
Getter is_y_sort_mode_enabled()

If true, the TileMap’s children will be drawn in order of their Y coordinate. Default value: false.


Setter set_collision_bounce(value)
Getter get_collision_bounce()

Bounce value for static body collisions (see collision_use_kinematic). Default value: 0.


  • float collision_friction
Setter set_collision_friction(value)
Getter get_collision_friction()

Friction value for static body collisions (see collision_use_kinematic). Default value: 1.


  • int collision_layer
Setter set_collision_layer(value)
Getter get_collision_layer()

The collision layer(s) for all colliders in the TileMap.


  • int collision_mask
Setter set_collision_mask(value)
Getter get_collision_mask()

The collision mask(s) for all colliders in the TileMap.


  • bool collision_use_kinematic
Setter set_collision_use_kinematic(value)
Getter get_collision_use_kinematic()

If true, TileMap collisions will be handled as a kinematic body. If false, collisions will be handled as static body. Default value: false.


Setter set_mode(value)
Getter get_mode()

The TileMap orientation mode. Uses MODE_* constants. Default value: MODE_SQUARE.


  • int occluder_light_mask
Setter set_occluder_light_mask(value)
Getter get_occluder_light_mask()

The light mask assigned to all light occluders in the TileMap. The TileSet’s light occluders will cast shadows only from Light2D(s) that have the same light mask(s).


Setter set_tileset(value)
Getter get_tileset()

The assigned TileSet.

Method Descriptions

  • void clear ( )

Clears all cells.


  • void fix_invalid_tiles ( )

Clears cells that do not exist in the tileset.


Returns the tile index of the given cell. If no tile exists in the cell, returns INVALID_CELL.



Returns the tile index of the cell given by a Vector2. If no tile exists in the cell, returns INVALID_CELL.


  • bool get_collision_layer_bit ( int bit ) const

Returns true if the given collision layer bit is set.


  • bool get_collision_mask_bit ( int bit ) const

Returns true if the given collision mask bit is set.


  • Array get_used_cells ( ) const

Returns a Vector2 array with the positions of all cells containing a tile from the tileset (i.e. a tile index different from -1).


  • Array get_used_cells_by_id ( int id ) const

Returns an array of all cells with the given tile id.


  • Rect2 get_used_rect ( )

Returns a rectangle enclosing the used (non-empty) tiles of the map.


Returns true if the given cell is transposed, i.e. the x and y axes are swapped.


Returns true if the given cell is flipped in the x axis.


Returns true if the given cell is flipped in the y axis.


Returns the global position corresponding to the given tilemap (grid-based) coordinates.

Optionally, the tilemap’s half offset can be ignored.


  • void set_cell ( int x, int y, int tile, bool flip_x=false, bool flip_y=false, bool transpose=false, Vector2 autotile_coord=Vector2( 0, 0 ) )

Sets the tile index for the cell given by a Vector2.

An index of -1 clears the cell.

Optionally, the tile can also be flipped, transposed, or given autotile coordinates.

Note that data such as navigation polygons and collision shapes are not immediately updated for performance reasons.

If you need these to be immediately updated, you can call update_dirty_quadrants.


Sets the tile index for the given cell.

An index of -1 clears the cell.

Optionally, the tile can also be flipped or transposed.

Note that data such as navigation polygons and collision shapes are not immediately updated for performance reasons.

If you need these to be immediately updated, you can call update_dirty_quadrants.


  • void set_collision_layer_bit ( int bit, bool value )

Sets the given collision layer bit.


  • void set_collision_mask_bit ( int bit, bool value )

Sets the given collision mask bit.


  • void update_bitmask_area ( Vector2 position )

Applies autotiling rules to the cell (and its adjacent cells) referenced by its grid-based x and y coordinates.


  • void update_bitmask_region ( Vector2 start=Vector2( 0, 0 ), Vector2 end=Vector2( 0, 0 ) )

Applies autotiling rules to the cells in the given region (specified by grid-based x and y coordinates).

Calling with invalid (or missing) parameters applies autotiling rules for the entire tilemap.


  • void update_dirty_quadrants ( )

Updates the tile map’s quadrants, allowing things such as navigation and collision shapes to be immediately used if modified.


Returns the tilemap (grid-based) coordinates corresponding to the given local position.
