Getting Started

Installation

Simply import the package from the package manager. You can move the TileWorldCreator folder wherever you want inside of your project.

TileWorldCreator version 3 is a complete rewrite and is therefore not compatible with saved maps from version 2. Tiles made for v2 can be reused for version 3. Version 3 has a completely new and more flexible workflow for creating maps based on different generators and modifiers. This allows you to create and modify maps based on "rules".

URP & HDRP

To make ours and your lives easier, all Tile preset materials are using the built-in RP. If you're using URP or HDRP you can simply upgrade those materials in your project by selecting:

• URP Edit / Render Pipeline / Universal Render Pipeline / Upgrade Project Materials to UniversalRP Materials

• HDRP Edit / Render Pipeline / HD Render Pipeline / Upgrade Project Materials to HDRP Materials

AOT Platforms

API level .Net 4.X is required for all AOT build platforms

Quick start

Let's create our first map.

Create new asset

1. First create a TileWorldCreatorAsset in your project. Right click in the project window and select: Create -> TileWorldCreator -> New TileWorldCreator Asset

2. Create a new empty scene and add a new GameObject to your scene.

3. Add the TileWorldCreator component to it.

Assign Asset

1. Assign the newly created TileWorldCreatorAsset file to the empty slot of the TileWorldCreator component.

2. Set the map size to 20x20 for example.

3. Click on the + button in the blueprint layers stack to create a new layer.

Add your first generator

1. Select the new blueprint layer.

2. Name your layer: Base and set a color for the preview texture.

3. Click on the + button of the layer action stack and select: Generators / CellularAutomata

4. Click on the execute layer button.

5. TileWorldCreator has generated your first map.

TileWorldCreator executes all layers and their corresponding action stack from top to bottom.

Instantiate tiles

The scene is still quite empty though. Let's instantiate some tiles.

1. Add a build layer of type 3D 4-Tiles to the build layers stack.

2. Name it: Island, for example

3. Let's assign a blueprint layer to it. Select the Base layer.

4. Click on Add Tiles Preset and assign the cliffs tile preset located in TileWorldCreator / Tiles / Version 2 Tiles / CliffIsland

5. Click on Execute all build layers or on the Play button on the layer.

6. Congratulations your map has been built!

Next: Play with different modifiers and tile sets. Also have a look at the demo scenes.
