Collisions aren't changing from editor to game.

I'm having trouble getting godot to update collision changes of my tilemaps.

Did you update the Tilemap resource with the new collision shape? Also, how did you update the tile map collision in the editor? What I think is probably happening is somewhere the old tilemap data is being used instead of the new, updated ones, and that’s leading to the difference in collision shapes.

@TwistedTwigleg Yes. I am using the Tileset property within the TileMap inspector to edit the collisions, I'm also using the 'New Single Tile' option to select the individual tiles and then add collisions.

On that specific staircase tile, I can delete the collision box that I drew and then redraw it. I get the same result as the image I posted here.

I'm very new to Godot, my project is a mess. The issue is probably the ass backward things I'm doing to sort of get things working without understanding the core concepts of Godot. My code is indeed a long series of if else statements.

Hmm, strange. It sounds like it isn't saving the modifications to the tile. Does the tile have a collision shape setup in the Tileset property outside of the New single tile option? If so, maybe they are conflicting with each other?

To be honest, I haven't really used the TileMap node too much, so I'm not totally sure what to test or what might be the issue. :sweat_smile:

Nothing wrong with that, that's how we learn! I do not think it's a code issue, unless you are modifying or changing the TileMap through code, in which then maybe? But I think the issue is somewhere the data either isn't being overridden or isn't being saved, and that's causing it not to take the changes into account.

Hey thank you for trying to help. Each single tile has it's own collision shape. It's one big png sheet and I can square off each section of the sheet, then add individual collision shapes to those squared off sections. I've saved every scene, closed it, reopened Godot. Same issue, it will not update the edited collision shapes into the game window. Out of pure discouragement I've scrapped the project and I'm starting fresh.

I'm going to test it out on a blank scene with one tile. If it still doesn't update I'd call that a bug and I'll let someone in the core team know. Unless there's something I'm not doing proper which is very likely.

I tested it out. It works. On the blank project it will update the collision shapes to the game.

I must've did something to my project that interfered with that. ?

Huh, strange. Good to know it's not something in Godot. I wonder what caused it not to work in the project though.
