Repeating sprites without creating new objects (tiling)

I didn't find a way to use Sprites in Unity as a "tile".

I want to create walls in my game without 3D objects (planes), but I didn't find a way to make Sprite use wrap mode "repeat".
For example i have 10x8 square of walls, so I need to create now 10x8=80 objects to do this (low fps). I want to do it with one object (I can do that with 3D plane, but it's very-very bad in my 2D game).

Any ideas?

Thx!

 

This feature is coming up in the next release.
For now you won't be able to tile using a SpriteRenderer.

 

Can you show me link where is any information about next version unity

 

There isn't any yet AFAIK.

if you need to tile/repeat something many times you might as well just use a Quad mesh primitive and throw your texture on it and set the repeating how you like it.

 

I need to repeat a sprite too, and I cant figure this out. I've looked at numerous examples but I'm getting frustrated.
My quad offers no texture options, and the material is even locked so I cant choose another shader to apply a texture. Why does this have to be so hard..

 

Import the same file as a texture instead of a sprite (and set wrapping to repeat). Then throw the texture on your quad

 

We're working this functionality. See https://bitbucket.org/Unity-Technologies/2ddemos/wiki/Alpha Release 2
