Hi, I'm working on a Minigolf game that uses a single Tilemap Node for the map, and I am trying to get the player ball to be drawn behind walls. Currently, it looks like this:
When I use the Tilemap's YSort or a YSort Node, the grass is clipping in front of the ball:
YSort mostly works for walls (still not perfect)...
...but not for grass
The tiles would need these z-indexes, but I haven't found a way to implement this with multiple Tilemaps, because the z-index would need to change dynamically (like in the picture walls are could be in z 1 or in z 4 and there are more balls, so it gets even more complex).
But I can't even write that logic because as far as I know, Tilemaps don't support tile specific z values. So I tried using Scenes for Tiles, which would allow me to use logic from code for Z-Indexing, but the performance is a problem. A small map would already need ~300 Sprite Nodes and even without scripting anything for them yet the fps dropped to <10.
The only other solution I can think of right now would be to find a way to set the tileset origin for example to the center and on the height of the left and right corner I think it would work. But the options are limited to center, top left and bottom right...
I am not familiar with shaders, but maybe they could do something like that. Hopefully there is a simpler way.
I don't know if this is relevant, but all tiles in the tileset have a texture offset of -10y to make them appear at the correct position:
Without offset
With offset
There must be a way to do this, right? Any help is appreciated :)
