(PRO) Isometric 1

In this tutorial, we will use this tileset by @KenneyNL to create very basic isometric levels. Be sure to check out their work if you like the tileset.

Note: All files from this example can be found at Examples/Grid2D/Isometric1.

Scope

This example is only a very simple showcase of generating isometric levels.

It includes:

Basic isometric room templates
Custom tilemap layers structure
Custom room template initializer

It does not include:

Any characters to move around with
Colliders

Tilemap layers

The Grid is set to Isometric, and we use the following structure of tilemaps:

Level 0 - Floor
Level 0 - Walls
Level 0.5 - Floor
Level 0.5 - Walls
Level 1 - Floor
Level 1 - Walls
Colliders

For each elevation level we have 2 tilemap layers - one for floor tile and one for wall (and decoration) tiles. Between the levels 0 and 1 there is a half-level because stairs in the tileset are halfway between 0 and 1. And there is also one additional layer for colliders which is not used in this example but can be utilized to place collider tiles.

Room template prefabs can be created via Create → Edgar → Examples → Isometric 1 → Room template*.
