Using Package Manager, please ensure that the 2D Tilemap Editor package is added to your project before installing TilePlus Toolkit.

Chunking: Version 4 includes a new top-down Tilemap Chunking system: dynamically load and unload chunks of tiles on multiple Tilemaps as your character moves around. Includes support for "Tile Scenes" which can be quickly loaded with a simple method call.

TilePlus Painter: a new way to paint Tiles on Unity Tilemaps.

Painter is a different sort of Tilemap painting and editing tool.

Just like the Unity Tilemap Editor (UTE) you can paint single tiles or groups of tiles from a Palette.

Unlike the UTE, you can paint Prefabs, custom single- or multiple-Tilemap archives and perform complex transform modifications. There’s even a persistent Favorites list.

And Much More™

Painter is an UIElements-based editor window with three modes: Paint, Edit, and Grid.

In Paint mode, Painter presents lists of Tilemaps, and lists of Sources (including Unity Palettes, archived Tilemaps, and a Favorites List) rather than a Palette and Brushes. Select a map in the left column’s list and a source in the center column’s list, then a third list in the rightmost column presents the Objects (as in UnityEngine.Object) available to paint. Paintable Objects include tiles, tile Bundles, TileFabs, Prefabs, and Multiple-Selection “Picks.”

For Unity Palettes, the rightmost column can show the same display as the Unity Tilemap Editor.

Painter also supports selection of groups of tiles called “Picks” which are selections of tiles from within the Scene view or on a displayed Palette. Picks can be saved as Favorites or transformed into Bundles. Picks can be flipped and rotated as a group or as individual tiles (or both).

Edit mode is used to edit individual tiles. Click on a Tilemap in the leftmost list and the center list displays all the tiles on that Tilemap. Click on an individual tile, or Pick one from the scene, and you can edit it.

Grid mode comprises utilities for creating, managing, viewing, and using Grid Selections in various ways.

TilePlus: Scriptable and editable tiles that are saved with the scene.

Have you ever wanted to have your tiles actually do some work at runtime? Sure, you can subclass Tile, then and add code and fields to a tile class, but roadblocks emerge:

• The standard brush's Inspectors only recognize the fields of a standard Tile class.
• If a custom brush is created that recognizes your fields, editing your painted tile will affect the original tile asset in the Project folder.
• Which means that changing the fields of one tile affects all painted tiles based on that same original tile asset.
• Tiles can't run coroutines.

Unlike normal tiles, modifying fields after painting does not alter the original tile asset. Each painted tile is completely independent of every other painted tile. This opens new possibilities for working with tiles and requires no changes to the standard Tilemap system.

Custom fields

Most common fields are supported for editing.

Tile+Brush

Enhanced Selection and Brush inspectors.

Tile+Painter

Alternative tile Palette optimized for the TilePlus system as well as normal Unity tiles.

Sample tiles include:

• Tiles with flexible animation capabilities including stop/start and change animation.
• Tiles with linked prefabs. Paint prefabs from the tile Palette.
• Spawner Tiles for spawning prefabs or tiles, with pooling. Create a trigger zone in-editor and spawn at the tile position or elsewhere. Spawn tiles on the same or any other tilemap.
• Zone loaders: load new sections of your tilemap. Create a trigger zone in-editor, load groups of tiles to one or more tilemaps.
• "And more"

These tiles can have references to GameObjects, components, asset files, and so on. You can create your own tiles based on this system, with your own fields, properties, and methods.

Compatible: TilePlus tiles and normal Unity tiles coexist with no issues.

Includes complete Source code and example projects.
