Hey guys! I'd love to get your feedback on the game I'm making, pls let me know what you think : kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmie0NekpL3TZ6w.html

Can't wait for the next video. This feels like a solution which would scale nicely even for bigger games. Subscribed!

I hope you enjoy this tutorial! If you have any questions, leave them below and I'll be happy to answer.

It was a great tutorial. Thanks a lot. Could you please explain how can we use this to make simple board games such as dots and boxes? I am mainly interested to know how we can define objects on the board and move them horizontally, vertically or even diagonally by mouse click. I would be grateful if you could explain or even make another great video which is very helpful for beginners like me.

Simple and to the point, nicely done, Its there a way to create the grid using a sprite folder with multiple images without repeating?.

Hey John I don't know if you will even see this but thank you so much man, this tutorial really helped me out a lot on a game I was working on that needed some dynamic grid system for the UI/Canvas. I was really struggling on how to even start and wanted to just scrap the idea altogether until someone from your discord mentioned you made this video. Very helpful and very easy to follow tutorial, thank you once again!

Hi Jason, glad it was useful. Yeah the dynamic map from dataset was the initial plan here but i got side tracked by a platformer series. will return to this soon in a more meaningful way - maybe like a top down roguelite series or something.

Hey, great tutorial. I was wondering how can I change opacity of grid

@subliminalcastillo2126

Late to the party, but in the 2nd for loop (the one creating the columns) Right after you create a variable "tile" that is of type "GameObject", which is the one instantiated... Two simple options... You can get the current color of the sprite renderer, and create a new color from it with a different ALPHA value. Or if you already know the color of it, you can just set it to that. option 1: Color startingColor = tile.GetComponent().color; Color newColor = new Color(newColor.r, newColor.g, newColor.b, x}; //Where x is the amount of opacity you want. tile.GetComponent.color = newColor; option 2: Color myColor; tile.GetComponent().color = myColor;

@subliminalcastillo2126

You could also create a SerializeField at the very top of your script that exposes the color in the inspector [SerializeField] private Color myColor; And then assign it to the Tile's Sprite Renderer Component in the for loop the same way I showed above. It's easier to select the color in the inspector, as opposed to messing around with the color's RGB values via code.

Is there a way make grid have Id number instead of GreenBackground(Clone)(Clone)?

What's the recommended amount of pixels for a tile

How can I use it for my isometric 2d game?

I'm stuck at the point where you Instantiate grass tile straight from your resources file. Visual Studio won't find my GameObject or the folder in which the prefab is held. does anyone know whats wrong? I've tried renaming all items and folders and scripts.. everything to match yours exactly and it still won't work. did visual studio take this out method out and replace it with something else? I can't figure this out..

The final result doesn't look centered. Are you sure you need the 1/2 time offset? I think the 1/2 grid adjustment is enough.

this's weird i made the object scrip but it was on writing file so i went to its source and opened as VS while writing the code litterly there was 0 error even tho i made alot of mistakes there was no error detected at all

How I can get this responsive? I have many Tiles and they should scale that I can see all on the screen. Nice Vid :)

Did you end up making a follow up to this!?!?

YO! I was so close to finishing this tutorial but for some reason my tile wasn't readable and my "GenerateGrid" thing wasn't valid either. I'm new to the coding scene so I only know a small sliver of coding info. If anyone can help me out as to how to fix this problem that'd be great!

If you want it to be completely random, you could do this: //Create 5 variants of the Tile prefab, each with your desired tile. //At the top of your script create 5 serialized GameObject variables. //Drag and drop your 5 tile prefabs in the inspector. //In the for loop: int randomNumber= System.Random.Next(1, 6); GameObject tileToInstantiate; //Create a switch statement... switch(randomNumber){ case 1: tileToInstantiate = tile_prefab_1; break; case 2: tileToInstantiate = tile_prefab_2; break; //....etc...... Then instantiate the tileToInstantiate variable in the for loop just like he showed in the video.

Why is my grid infinite when the dimensions are 1x1?

Interesting video. What is the purpose in a dynamic grid when making a 2d game?

@LostRelicGames

5 жыл бұрын

Great question! It can be used in many types of classic-style grid based games; anything from original Zelda to top down rogue lites. This approach allows you to generate levels from a data set(or randomly with some additional logic), instead of placing everything by hand! Ill be sure to explore this in more depth in a follow up vid. Have a great day!

In 2019 have already component GRID for 2D game ... Is sad to make this when have already component and is easy for make collision, visual etc ...

Does this have any advantages over the Unity tilemap system?

@subliminalcastillo2126

3 жыл бұрын

Yes & no. If you are just trying to use it as a tilemap, then it's most likely a better idea to just use tilemap. But when you are making a system like this, it gives you the ability to extend the functionality of each tile in the grid. For example... You could implement the ability to click on each tile, and have every tile do something different. Or you could make it into a heatmap, where each tile stores an integer (temperature) & you could create rules for how the heat disperses. You could have a building system where when you click on one tile, and drag along a straight path down a row, it paves a road, etc etc. A good example of a game that does this is Terraria. They procedurally generate a grid of tiles that have more functionality than a standard tilemap. Whenever you click on a tile, a raycast is sent from the camera to the world position where the mouse-position is located. This starts a timer while you are holding the mouse button down on that tile. Whenever the timer finishes, that block gets destroyed, and an item gets instantiated at the same location to be able to be picked up in your inventory. All of that would be either impossible, or way too impractical to implement with unity tilemaps just by themselves.

Is there anyway to modify the matrix or even delete it?

It's this uncertainty that held me back a little from starting this dynamic grid 'rogue' style game series.

Do you interact with your viewers, or just upload content and hope to get views? If you do answer comments. How could you add a TEXT object dynamically just as a tile would be added to the Stage/Scene? I come from a Flash/AS3 background with programmable layers and a Stage. It's similar, but also way different.

Go to video to search how others implement this feature. Open it. Listen and look how author open unity and creates new project. Why? Why u do this? For bigger video time? Or u don't want cut some timing from your source video? Every who open this video he already now how to open unity and create damn project. OMG!!!! Literally 40% of whole video is regular project creation. And most important u for some reason call it "Dynamic Grid", but what is dynamic? Dynamic means this is not hardcode? Means that u can pass parameters to your grid holder? For me dynamic grid means solution which can hold resizable grid with performaly access to cell. Just time wasting
