This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain.

Our script editor maintainer, Paul Batty ( Paulb23 ), implemented initial support for multi-caret editing in TextEdit, which is therefore usable in the GDScript and shader editors, as well as any other multi-line text field in the editor. Lots of rendering changes.

However, it will include one of most requested features that the previous lesson was missing – tiles of different terrain types, and how that can affect move cost. We will accomplish this by using a second tile map that renders on top of the board tile map. Select the Tilemap GameObject and duplicate it.

As some of you might have heard, we were working on a module that lets you use shared libraries as scripts. It is a module for Godot that adds a new "scripting language" to it. I put "scripting language" in quotes because it's not a language. A method in a Native script is just native machine code.
