TileMap

Inherits: Node2D < CanvasItem < Node < Object

Node for 2D tile-based maps.

Description

Node for 2D tile-based maps. Tilemaps use a TileSet which contain a list of tiles which are used to create grid-based maps. A TileMap may have several layers, layouting tiles on top of each other.

For performance reasons, all TileMap updates are batched at the end of a frame. Notably, this means that scene tiles from a TileSetScenesCollectionSource may be initialized after their parent.

To force an update earlier on, call update_internals.
