TilePlus Tile Asset Varieties

These are all project-level asssets.

  • TpTileBundle: The asset created when you create a prefab from Tilemaps.
  • TpTileFab: Another asset created when you create a prefab from Tilemaps.
  • ProxyTile: a special tile used by Tile+Painter. Not available in a build.
  • TpPrefabList: A group of prefab references for TpAnimZoneSpawner tiles.
  • TpTileList: A group of TPT tile asset references for TpAnimZoneSpawner tiles.
  • TpSlideShowSpriteSet: A group of sprite references for the TpSlideShow tile.
  • TpSpriteAnimationClipSet: A group of sprite references for the TpFlexAnimatedTile tile.
  • TpChunkSelectorBase, TpSingleFabChunkSelector, TpChunkZoneSelector: used with the Layout system.
  • TpLibInit: Controls various TpLib options when entering Play mode (or running a built game)
  • TpTweenSpec: A list of specifications for tweens. Optional but useful when using the same tween repeatedly.

These assets can be created from the Assets/Create/TilePlus menu except for the first three and TpChunkSelectorBase.

TpTileBundle and TpTileFab are assets created when you use the Tools/TilePlus/Prefabs/ Bundle Tilemaps menu command.

TpPrefabList is a list of TpPrefabSpawnerItems. Each item has the following fields:

  • Prefab: The prefab to spawn
  • Parent: Name or Tag of a GameObject to parent the spawned Prefab to. Optional.
  • UseParentNameAsTag: If a Parent is specified, interpret as a Tag if this is checked.
  • Position: Position of the prefab. Can be left at Vector3.zero.
  • PositionIsRelative: If checked, the Position value is relative to the tile grid position.
  • KeepWorldPosition: If checked, keeps the prefab’s world position relative to tile grid position.
  • PoolInitialSize: The pool preload size.

TpTileList is like TpPrefabList, but for TPT tiles.

  • Tile: The tile to paint
  • PaintPosition: Where to paint it. An Enum selects where to paint.
    • Around the position of the tile doing the painting.
    • At the position of the tile doing the painting if the target Tilemap is not the same.
    • A random position within the painting tile’s Zone (see TpZoneSpawner/TpAnimatedZoneSpawner)

TpSlideShowSpriteSet has a list of TpSlideClips. Each clip has the following fields:

  • Name: Name of the slide show
  • WrapAround: Stop at the last sprite or wrap around to the first.
  • StartIndex: The starting sprite for this slide show
  • Sprites: A list of sprites to display.

TpSpriteAnimationClipSet has a list of TpAniClips. Each clip has the following fields: Name: Name of the Clip Set

  • DefaultTileIndex: When animation isn’t running, which tile to use for the static sprite.
  • AnimationSpeed: Speed of animation relative to that set on the Tilemap component.
  • OneShot: Stop the animation at the end of the sequence or repeat.
  • RewindAfterOneShot: Rewind to the first frame after a one-shot animation ends. This requires Unity 6 or newer.

Please note that when adding a new clip to the asset: AnimationSpeed will be 0, will cause a runtime warning if OneShot is true. Internally, a value of 1 is used if AnimationSpeed is zero, which may produce unintended results.
