Naming Tiles of Tilemaps

Is there a possibility to change the name of my tiles?

I could be wrong, but I do not think tiles in a Tilemap have names, at least not internally. I believe they are stored as integers internally, which is why get_cell returns an int rather than a string. In the tilemap editor though, in which case, it should just be a matter of opening the scene you used to create the tilemap resource, changing the names of the nodes, and then exporting as a tilemap library/resource in the Godot editor like normal.

Good to know. Thank you!

The tiles in the TileMap actually do have names. It usually just defaults to the name of the texture though you can change it in the TileSet editor. You can use find_tile_by_name to get the corresponding ID, though I have never used it. I typically just reference the tiles by their ID and skip the names.

Edit: changed TileMap editor to TileSet editor.

Oh, in that case, I stand corrected. Good catch @EJFudd :smile:
