Tiles editor progress report #2. Tiles editor progress report #3. you are here) Tiles editor progress report #4.
You create an island of hexagonal tiles, each of which represents a different type of terrain. From this terrain, you gather wood, grain, brick, sheep, and stone. Join my community of over 2,000 game developers, artists, and passionate creators. Catan is pretty straightforward. Over time, you build up settlements and roads.
This gives me freedom in level design and saves work making tiles… tileable. I export the rendered terrain from Blender as a RGBA image but with alpha value set to depth. The custom terrain shader uses the z-channel to draw water in lower areas of the level. Everything is just one big texture. So it’s RGBZ.
In that project, we had some unique challenges thanks to a non-square board where tiles were optional. In addition we had to consider tile heights – and whether or not a unit could jump as high as needed. In contrast, the pathfinding in this lesson will be for a 2D square board with no missing tiles.
And from the video you might think that only applies to the terrain. Like UO, every “tile” knows what materials it is. On UO, we could only change the totals every 64 tiles, and we couldn’t reflect it visually at all, because the map was baked down and static). Unlike UO, they can change. (On
We’ll create everything we need to build our tiles and generate a board or two. Tile Script We’ll create two folders here. Because we are going to be updating and viewing the tiles in the editor, we need the @tool command at the top. The next two values let the tile itself keep track of its position.
With that preamble done and due praise given, it is all the more remarkable that one bad game mechanic has been preserved from version to version, tweaked perhaps, adjusted at times, but still as clumsy, fiddly, and unnecessary in 2021 as it was in 1991 – the system of placing citizens on tiles.
Although I imagine that for the most part the player will only be controlling medium sized units (which occupy a single tile), I also want to make A.I. Even worse is that our current iteration of the pathfinder does not include blocked tiles in its path map, so as it is now, I can’t see a path to an opponent.
Editor: Keep terrain choice when changing layer in TileMap editor ( GH-70601 ). Editor: Make keyboard shortcuts in tile data editors consistent with tilemap editor ( GH-71517 ). Editor: Implement PROPERTY_HINT_MULTILINE_TEXT support for Array[String] and Dictionary ( GH-70540 ).
