Isometric tiles

ArthurR

Hi, I am playing around with making isometric tiles. right now I am just making some basic things in Gimp to learn how it works in Godot , so have made a basic ground tile and a basic pillar. the image size of the pillar is 128X128 , the ground tile is 128X80 and the tile map set up is on the image.

to me it seems backwards somehow when I draw a pillar the tile is the top of the pillar instead of the bottom so am wondering if that is the way it is supposed to be?

Yes, change your layer. Take your TileMap2 above your TileMap. And it will render correctly, if I am not wrong.

thank you for the reply but I think you misunderstand. the maps are in the correct order. TileMap = ground TileMap2 = pillar

I believe I have figured out how I was looking at it wrong. firstly I made the pillar too tall , second and more important I was thinking in terms of building the pillar on the ground when I should be viewing the top of the pillar as another level.

in this example the pillar is the right height and the top of the pillar is one level up from the ground it is standing on
