This is the most productive 1 min of my life

I was literally just about to start a project with a grid so this is super useful and well timed. Thanks!

been waiting for your new tutor content and fortunately this grid tutorial is related to 1 of my projects, thanks :)

I just found you recently and you have saved me so much headache it is insane. So many forum posts, videos, etc. give examples on how to do things but in such a quick and sloppy way that I keep having to spend extra time looking for extra optimizations. Honestly thank you so much for your videos they are amazing.

Tarodev your vids are little nuggets of gold. Thank you for all you've taught me.

I really appreciate this. I've been struggling with grids for a long time and have several projects that need it. This was by far the best way of handling it. and i also like that you went with the sprite renderer as 2d stuff gets overshadowed by UGUI layout stuff often.

Good to see you back! Thanks for the video!

I've had two projects where I wanted grid systems, they were 2D so I inherently used the TileMaps as a way to navigate the world, it was HELL, for anyone who ever wants to do moving things on a grid, DO NOT use the TileMap component. Glad I've seen this video, even if after the fact, it's a nice lesson for future dev.

Wait, I always work with grids and never knew I could read out the tiles. I always make an Array on top of my tilemap

I love your videos. Very useful and informative for someone who's just started like me... Maybe you have a tutorial like this that I missed, but do you have any tutorials on how to move characters on a grid in a limited way? Like in SRPGs where units have movement of 5 and can move 5 tiles? Right now my units just go wherever they please...

Sweet. Thank you, friendly neighborhood cephalopod.

Hi Tarodev, Very interesting. But, you made a video (game grid 1 & 2) where you made a grid from scratch, without the grid built-in component. When to use one method rather than the other? What method do you recommend for a tactical game ?

@Tarodev

10 ай бұрын

This can be used with those grid tutorials just fine. In those videos I used a simple nested for loop to gather world positions. Using this method you can continue using that nested for loop, but with the grid component you can transform those basic positions into whatever grid type you'd like 😊

Hope you doing well. See you again in the future

Hey! Wonderful video. Would you mind explaining just a little more about how to get this set up from scratch for someone dangerously early in their Unity journey? I should be able to handle just a few sentences of text, just not quite seeing how to get from the blank 2D screen with the built in hexagonal tile map instantiated all the way to your final outcome here. Where does your script go? And do I need to be using Unity 3D to get those cool perspective shifts, etc?

Hi, really appreciate your work. But here I am completely lost... I don't understand where I need to make the link between this script and the Grid component. you said that we need to serializeReference to it... Is there somoene willing to give a little explanation ? Thanks a lot

How do you guarantee that the grid size will = the size of your prefab? Since you're not using the tilemap system and creating "tile" presets in my code the worldspace coordinates provided are off and the tiles are inside of each other even though the prefab is a size(1,1,1) same as the grid size. Am I missing something or just mistaken?

@Tarodev

10 ай бұрын

If your tiles are 1x1 they should fit the default 1x1 rectangle grid. Are your pixels per unit set correctly? Put your tile against a unity cube to see if they're equal

@posidon114

@@Tarodev Thanks for the answer, I think the problem is that I was trying to use a unity 3d prefab "cube" instead of sticking true to a 2d iso sprite. Messed up some math calculations so if I wanted to use the grid to place actual cube objects I would probably need to do a bit more verbose script logic. Thanks!
