Question Tilemap is invisible white.....

So I made a script that gets the color of the pixel in the texture2D, and then it places the color at the tile by order, I used some debugging and it looks like it goes through every stage and just the SetTile isn't working, It has the color and the location of the tile. This is the script I used:

Code (CSharp):

1. Color Pcolor = PNGMap.GetPixel(x, z);
2.         print(Pcolor.a);
3.         if(Pcolor.a == 0)
4.         {
5.             print("No Color");
6.             return;
7.         }
8.         else
9.         {
10.             print("The Last Step");
11.             TMap.SetColor(new Vector3Int(x, 0, z), Pcolor);
12.         }
13.     }

Then someone offered to reset the flags, like so:

Code (CSharp):

1. var pos = new Vector3Int(x, 0, z);
2. TMap.SetTileFlags(pos, TileFlags.None);
3. TMap.SetTileFlags(pos, TMap.GetTileFlags(pos) & ~TileFlags.LockColor);
4. TMap.SetColor(pos, Pcolor);

But that didn't work either. So I did more debugging and I found out that the tile's color is 225 in every aspect, so it should be white. But I can't see the tile has any color:


And now I'm stuck.

 

The color in your Debug.Log() snippet above is white. This is multiplicatively applied to the graphics of the tile, so in this context it is an identity operation: there will be no output change.

I'll assume you mean 255. This is not a valid input to Color.

Color() accepts channel params from 0.0f to 1.0f

Color32() accepts channel params from 0 to 255

More on Color vs Color32, lossless, comparisons, etc.

I also just checked: colorizing tiles works all day long, but the flag clear is necessary, otherwise the color change is ignored.

Here is my test script:

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.Tilemaps;
3.  
4. // @kurtdekker - drop it into a scene with a Tilemap
5. // it will apply random colors to random tiles around
6. // a box centered at (0,0,0).
7.  
8. public class RandoColor : MonoBehaviour
9. {
10.     void Update()
11.     {
12.         var tmap = FindObjectOfType<Tilemap>();    // obviously don't do this every frame!
13.  
14.         Vector3Int position = new Vector3Int(
15.                  Random.Range(-40, +40),
16.                  Random.Range(-30, +30),
17.                  0);
18.  
19.         Color color = Random.ColorHSV();
20.  
21.         var flags = tmap.GetTileFlags(position);
22.         flags &= ~TileFlags.LockColor;
23.         tmap.SetTileFlags(position, flags);
24.  
25.         tmap.SetColor(position, color);
26.     }
27. }

 

instead of using set color

change the color with tile.color and then use tmpa.settile

 

This isn't the same problem! The tilemap is now just white! It now works but not as expected.

 

Tried to clear all flags. Still didn't work...

 

It definitely works.

Go back, make a tiny test tilemap with a bunch of random tiles, run my program above, observe it work.

Now bisect between that and your own setup.

Tried that on a new scene with a new script in a new grid, still hasn't worked...
