What would I need to do to have more than one tilegrid within one scene? I'm trying to create two boards for 2 different player to use. Each Player basicly needs their own board at different positions within the same scene.

When instantiating your dictionary it may be good practice to pass in the capacity (width * height in this case) of it as to not consume more memory than necessary whenever the dictionary needs to resize its capacity as you add more tiles. It may be also be worth to consider using a 2d array if you are nit picky about performance and memory as you don't have to save a key for each tile. I would only suggest this if you plan to make a giant array however, may not be necessary or even optimal for small projects.

I finally figured it out!!! I had to replace the Tile object in my assets with the Tile object (with highlight stacked on it) from my scene. That way the script takes my uodated Tile with the highlight asset every time it makes a new block.

Would it be possible to randomly call a Vector2 instead of just the one at current position from the dictionary made at the end?

Feel like I'm kind of falling at the first hurdle here, I don't have the option to make a 2D object. I thought it might be something about Unity's weird multiple render pipelines but no matter if I use URP or specific 2D, nope, still no 2D objects?

Aren't these 'OnMouse' methods actually a raycast? I guess that for huge grids it would be more performant to create a single raycast from the mouse position and check what's colliding instead of a script for each tile. Anyways, I love your content. I'm recomending your videos to a noob friend of mine who is starting with Unity. He's super motivated thanks to your videos! :)

Tile maps are great, but they're certainly not suitable for most grid games. For example, you can't attach unique logic to a certain tile (easily) using tile maps. One example would be if you had one tile which was a pressure plate which opened a door on another tile... That's very difficult to do using the tile map system.

For those that don't know this is what you need to do: 1) Click on "Tile" so that the inspector tab on the right shows up 2) Change the alpha of the Base Color and Offset Color 2a) When you click on the color a separate screen comes up where you can choose the RGBA values. Move the slider from 0 to 255.
