Hey guys! I uploaded a vid explaining the changes of the tilemaps for Godot 4.3, check it out!

Jackie. I'd like you to know that I spent the better part of two hours scouring the internet to try to find out how to do this. Thank you SO much for showing not only how to do this, but explaining it in a beginner friendly way. Greatly appreciate you!

[Spunkyinternall]

okay, your the first person to actually explain 'WHY' we need to jump through the hoop in the 1st place. Thank you for showing!

I've watched a couple of tutorials now about in game tile placement, and yours is the first one that made it click for me. The concepts were very well explained, thank you!

[Jason_Bryant]

I remember trying to do this kind of thing in Unity a few years ago. I don't know if it has improved since then, but this is massively easier.

Great tutorial series, thanks!

I find amazing how godot just makes things easier for us...
thank you for sharing, it's helping me a lot

[luckyknot]

Excellently explained thanks for this tile data tut!

[lorenzodigaetano]

Every time I have to mangle with custom data layers I forgot how I did it the last time! :-D This is the BEST and fastest video to explain it. Thank you!

This is a great series. Very chill, very clearly explained. It really sped up learning about this tool and it I'm finding it incredibly useful for all kinds of things, from designating climbable walls to spikes and bottomless pits.

I’m just starting to work with custom tile data for various footstep sounds depending on the tile type and the documentation for working with tile map custom data kinda sucks (which is unusual for Godot documentation). This video cleared up the confusion i had in a simple straightforward way and in a way I have not been able to find elsewhere, so thank you for this. Very helpful.

[Fruitmand]

Thank you for explaining this! I couldn't figure out why I wasn't able to access the custom tile data, but thanks to you I can carry on with my little game.

[kevincastel]

Thank you!
I'm from Godot 3 and now it's an hard work for standing in front of the Godot 4 for my self!

[qbradq]

Very helpful. Thank you for being thorough yet short.

[rlwarner]

That's cool. In 3.5 I remember mapping the tile ID's a dictionary to have that kind of functionality.

I am just starting my Godot journey to start on a 2d game, after doing 3d on Unreal for 16 years. I have to keep pausing and going back to understand this... Thanks for the great tutorial!

[ZombiesProgrammingAndGaming]

Great video Jackie! :D I didn't knew it's that easy to add custom data to a specific tile. :) Learned something new :D

[kindavacant]

This was so awesome! Your code for getting mouse click to tilemap cell is why I gave the like as it's exactly what I'm working on now and it went from "ermm, so local coord divided by tilesize gets in the tiles ballpark" to "clicking on the tile gives the actual tile and can filter it out from there!" Great stuff, guess I'll watch after 1:59. Something about seeds..
edit: global coord. Local made no sense.

Hi, thank you very much for your tutorials. I am doing a game for a school project and this is exactly what I was looking for!

[GenTink]

Crying 😭😭 I had the last tutorial working great, but I keep getting getting an error with this one that there's no custom layer and my game keeps printing "can't place here" even though I should be able to. I've been trying to fix it all night. 😭

[Kornholio]

Thanks for sharing, Jackie, you're great. Tilemaps, while improved, could use more love in Godot 4, i mean documenting stuff like custom data.
