Detect what kind of tile I'm colliding with

Kets

Right now, if you print a collision with a tile it'll just print out that you collided with the "Tilemap <tilemap number>", is there any way to get a specific tile? I was thinking of using multiple tilemaps, so that each tilemap would represent a certain type of tile, but that just sounds unorganized and possibly bad for perfomance

Welcome to the forums @Kets!

If you have the collision point in global space, then you can convert it so it’s relative to the tilemap, and then use that to get the ID of the tile you collided with. Something like this:

# the point of collision - you will need to change this based on how you are detecting collisions (Raycast2D, Rigidbody2D, etc)
var collision_point = get_collision_point()

var collision_map_point = $TileMap.world_to_map(collision_point)
var collision_map_id = $TileMap.get_cellv(collision_map_point)
print (“Collided with tile ID: “, collision_map_id)

I haven’t tested it though, so I’m not totally sure it will work, but I think something like that is what you’ll want to do if you are trying to get the exact tile the object collided with.
