Tilemap: if I my sprite bigger than one tile how can I catch a click event on it

Hi,
So I have pretty simple question:
"if I my sprite bigger than one tile how can I catch a click event on it"

I already spend a day looking for the answer

Any thoughts how can I do that?
I will be appreciate for any help.

 

As I thought, there will be no answer, unfortunately it is impossible or let me know how to do that.

Here is a perfect alternative for unity isometric tilemap where you could use sprites with multiple-tiles size:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/sprite-management/isometric-2-5d-toolset-27851

It is not exactly alternative it's much better than this piece of S*** from the unity team (no offense)

 

Have you looked into polygon colliders that match the sprite outline? You just drag the sprite onto the collider component and it should fill it out properly. Then it will detect clicks in all the pixels in the sprite.

I haven't played around with it myself but there's lots of search results out there from others who have .

 

There are two ways to do this:

Break up each object into individual tiles. Your tile looks to be 5x5ish, so you'd be creating 25 different sprites. From there, you can collide with them normally using the composite collider for the tilemap. But this is a rubbish idea.

Alternatively (The way I selected) is to create the tiles as prefabs. I selected PolygonCollider2D for my objects. You would add the prefab to the tilemap, then apply click logic as normal.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public Vector3 MousePositionWorld()
3. {
4.     Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
5.     return ray.GetPoint(-ray.origin.z / ray.direction.z);
6. }
7.  
8. // ...
9.  
10. if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
11. {
12.     RaycastHit2D[] hit = Physics2D.RaycastAll(MousePositionWorld(), -Vector2.up, 1f);
13.     for(int i = 0; i < hit.Length; i++)
14.     {
15.         if (hit[i].collider != null)
16.         {
17.             Debug.Log(hit[i]);
18.         }
19.     }
20. }
21.  

 

Thank you, but I already decided to use isometric 2.5d toolset, because of simplicity of adding new sprites (you do not need to suffer with pivot point) and because you could use sprites with multiple-tiles size and it will not break sorting and many many others reasons..

 

Heh, right on, I abandoned Isometric 2.5D Toolset in favor of Unity's tilemaps. Glad you found a solution that works.
