Tilemaps question

gary-shaw

I have drawn a base tileset of background tiles, at 64 x 64, and created a tilemap at that size. It's working ok, but I also have some 128 x 128, 128 x 256, 256 x 128, 256 x 256, and a couple of 512 x 512, to represent bigger buildings, compounds etc ... that I will want on the map as well. All the various sizes will be on the same game-map, and it will be scrollable as a city map

Example of work in progress below ...

Do I have to create a seperate tilemap and tileset for each tile size ?

If so do I have to create seperate scroll scripts for each tilemap or will the one suffice for all while playing ?

Thanks in advance for any advice, answers..

They are multiples of 64, so you'll be able to get them as smaller 64 areas and put them together on the tilemap. They just have to be positioned right on the tileset so they start at the right position. I only played around with it a little bit so I'm not the best to answer this question, though.

Hmm

Splitting them into smaller 64x tiles is easy enough graphically, but I assumed I would need to keep them whole so they could be selectable as a whole from within the game, as they are intended to represent a single entity, ( a larger building or compound ) and animations are intended to be centred on them as the image above to indicate something has happened in that building.

I now have more questions to learn the answers to :)

Thanks for your reponse.
