[Package] Isometric Tile Map

Hey,

Pretty cool EP guys ! Great work !

I wanted to try the isometric tile map.
I struggle a little bit at first, finding the good parameters but it works at the end.
Here is a package for anyone to try
Have fun

Question:
How would you implement a character that needs to walk on the grid ?
I mostly mean, sorting issues...
Thanks

 

I tested isometric feature this morning and I am glad of its existence
I have noted a sorting bug quickly in my test
Why brush does not cut sprite bigger than 1x1x1 in little piece for avoid sorting problem ?
Because else with isometric view we will have always sorting problem.
I have a question to how can we simulate altitude level with TileMap ( always in isometric view) ?

 

I'd probably do something like this:

Use the Grid script of your tilemap to convert grid positions into world positions and lerp between fields (assuming you mean grid-based movement). For the sorting issues, I would somehow map the Y-position to Order in Sorting Layer. Here is a tutorial I had bookmarked: https://breadcrumbsinteractive.com/two-unity-tricks-isometric-games/

 

please dont tell me that this version still has not fixed the sorting issues?

 

There is a new sorting group feature, but I haven't checked it out yet.

 

Most of them have been fixed, at least those which were bothering me
