Tilemap Chunks

[m3taphysics]

Hi

I am just looking into developing something which requires "groups" of tile maps. In that, the levels are pieced together given a larger set of tiles. Rather than individual tiles.

There is a few ways I can think of doing this. Each "tile-group" is a separate tile-map (but I am worried about speed?). You can then drag and drop the pre-fabs into the scene, each a separate tile-map-group.

I can write extensions to the tools. To maybe "apply" one tile-set to a larger tile-set. Although this seems a bit more difficult.

My eventual aim is to be able to (in-game) drag and drop these tilemaps together.

Alternatively.... I can not use tilemaps and develop my own out-of-the-box for this but I quite like the additional features I have with the tilemaps.

Have you tried the scratch pad feature? It was designed for something like this, where you paint sections of tile map, then piece them together to form a much larger tile map.
