Creating ScriptableObjects

To add a new item or object to the tilemap system, a new scriptableobject needs to be created.

Location

Make sure to save the item/tile ScriptableObjects under the corresponding "Content/Data/TileMap/Resources/" folder

Details

The following information can be filled in for a TileObjectSo:

Tile objects

  • Name String - describes the name of the object

  • Prefab - which prefab to spawn

  • Icon - Icon which is used by the creator and construction interface

  • Layer - which layer the item should be put in

  • Generic Type - Generics types are used to categorize objects on the same layer. Used by the adjacency connector to connect walls for example

  • Specific Type - Specific types are used to specify the material that the object is made of. For example used by carpets to ensure that they don't connect to other floors

  • Width - width of the object. Used for multi-tile objects

  • Height - height of the object. Used for multi-tile objects

Items

Items can be added in a similar way:

Make sure the Name String is unique. Not doing so will create issues during loading & saving.
