Tiled Map Editor Tutorial: Terrains

In this tutorial, I show how to use Tiled's Terrain Editor and Terrain Tool to easily draw one terrain within another, such as a dirt path in grass or a pool of water.

Thanks for the great explanation! Just note that:
- To create a new terrain type, you can right-click and choose "Add Terrain Type", instead of switching to the Tile Collision Editor in order to select the tile.
- Tile probability is not a percentage, it's a relative value compared to other selected tiles (a tile with twice the probably of another tile will appear twice as often, but the actual values don't matter). So there is no need to reduce the default of 1 for common tiles (or you could just set it to 100 to make those tiles 100x more common compared to all the others).

This is exactly what I was looking for to get started with Tiled. Thank you for the tutorial.

Also, I noticed that OBS didn't pick up the file dialogue windows at the beginning. I'm still learning the software, so bear with me. Thanks.

Oh no, you marked the lower part of the grass rock as "grass" now it will include half rocks :)

I followed your tutorial but am having some trouble with the grass tiles. They're not behaving like they are in your tutorial. I've followed it exactly and made sure the grass and dirt tiles are complimentary. Just getting a lot of random stray single lines / X shapes in my grass as I map onto dirt
