Tilemap Palette Doesn't Work Well With Non-Center Pivot Sprites

This problem has been reported before.

Basically, if you're using sprites that have any pivot beside "center", it'll end up looking like this:

In my case, the sprites have their pivot at the top-right. The alignment issues are fixable in the tilemap grid by setting the tile anchor (X = 1.0 Y = 1.0 in my case) on the Tilemap component, but there isn't a setting like that for the palette. So I need to select the grid cell top-right of the tile to actually paint it, like so:



Are there plans to fix this?

 

I literally cant believe that S*** like this is just ignored by the devs for months/years on end

 

Just encountered this as well. It seems ANY top down tile based RPG would be affected by this. Come on, really?

 

Ah, it was enough to fix the offset on tiles in the Scene itself, but it didn't fix the visible offset in the Tile Palette window's Tile editor itself.



So I'll stick to Center pivot for the moment.

 

Thanks, it worked. But I didn't find it at first, so I'll add screenshots so other users can find where the settings are:

Select the Tile Palette prefab asset you are using in the Project window, then click Open Prefab in the inspector.



In the Prefab view, select Layer1 (or if you renamed it, the 1st child with a Tilemap component). Actually I think there should be only one layer as the palette is a special tilemap, only meant to be use to paint scene tilemaps.



Then on the Tilemap component, set Tile Anchor to whatever matches your new sprite anchor (e.g. (0, 0) for Bottom-Left):



Unity considers the tile palette as a tilemap itself, which references Tile assets, which can be reused multiple times. This is convenient to prepare common patterns like a small lake made or water border and center tiles, or having a row of favorite tiles. So this last operation is really about making that special tilemap align correctly in the Tile Palette editor window.

If like me, you're an former user of tk2d tilemap (where palettes are very different data structures dedicated to filling tilemaps), it's useful to understand this particularity.

Unfortunately, there is no way to find which Tile Palettes have been used for each scene tilemap, as any palette can be used on any tilemap. Just repeat this operation for any Tilemap and any Palette where tiles should be anchored differently.

 

Actually visually things are correct, but when using Collider Type: Grid on my tiles, colliders are off.



To fix this, I must select any colliding tile and change Collider Type to Sprite.



This will effectively use the offset sprite collider:



But it's weird that the Grid setting doesn't also offset the square collider. Is it by design?

 

Hi, thanks for all the previous solutions. However keen, that didn't help me solve the issue.

I would like to re-open this thread by saying that it won't sort properly for me.

I'm using tilemap grids, my object has its sorting point set to pivot. Each of the fence tiles pivot points has been set to the bottom of the fence..

I am also using rule tile.

How to we y-sort the tiles then?
