TRANSCRIPT

Welcome back everyone. In this lesson we are going to be creating an actual map using Tiled and Tiled is a free software which is pretty popular among many of the 2D map making and what it allows us to do is set up a tileset and pretty much just paint in the tile map. And along with Tiled, Tiled Map Editor, we're also going to be using Tiled2Unity, actually SuperTiled2Unity which is able to then take this tile map and convert it into something that can be used inside of Unity. So yeah. We just wanna go on itch.io and download these both. There will be lessons in the lesson summary down below. So, we can then click on download for the Tiled Map Editor. No thanks, just take me to downloads. And you just wanna then download the version for your specific version of Windows pretty much. So once that finishes downloading you will have a setup window pop up. We'll just go through these things here and just set it up and yeah. So when it's done we'll be back and we'll be ready to create our tile map. Okay, so when that's finished you should see that Tiled has now opened and what we can do is we can choose to create a new map, a new tileset, or open a file. So for this one, we are just going to create a new map. We'll keep all these settings the same. For now, since we're just focusing on a tutorial right now, I'm just gonna accept the map width to about 30 by 30. You can, of course, set this to much more if you want but we'll just set it 30 by 30 for now. And the tileset we are going to use is going to be 32 by 32 pixels per tile. So that's all good. We can click save as and we'll just save this inside of a folder on our desktop for now. And here we are in our map. Now, to move around in Tiled you can use the middle mouse button to drag. You can use scroll wheel to go up and down and then Control and scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Oh, and scroll wheel to scroll horizontally. So, with our map here, we want to start adding in some tiles. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna click on the bottom right here where it says new tileset and we're just gonna enter in a name for our tileset. We'll just call this Tiles for now. So we can click on browse and find that asset. Here we are, I got it loaded up. Everything's all good here. We can click save as now and here we go. We got our tile map here. Everything's set up. There are quite a few tiles in here for us to use. So back in our actual tile map here, not our tile map but our actual map where we can start to create our tiles. What we want to do is, we want to divide this up into two separate layers. The first layer is going to be the background tiles, the tiles, of ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY0_WIVl0y0
