Tilemap layer's operations

New tilemap layer

Tapping on the New Tilemap Layer will bring up a dialog like in the screenshot. Here we can configure our new tilemap layer.

We'll have to choose the tileset. An artwork can contain many tilesets, we can pick an existing one or create a new one.

A few notes:

• We can import existing external tilesets, they can be .pxts or image files

• Convert selected layer: check this option if you want to convert the current selected layer into a tilemap layer

• Only selected area: convert only the selected area, ignore the rest of the selected layer

• Keep arrangement: auto assign the tiles to the new tilemap so that it has the same content as the current selected layer.

Duplicate tilemap layer(s), alpha lock, and content copy/cut

We do these operations the same way we do them with regular layers:

• Duplicate

• Alpha lock

• Copy/cut
