Title: Tilemap: How to set unique values for different instance of same Tile/Prefab?
Post by: Lortimus on July 09, 2013, 06:08:11 pm

Hi.  I did some searching and didn't see this answered anywhere...

Say I'm using the Tilemap, and I have only one tile and associated prefab that I'm going to place several times on the Tilemap.  The assigned prefab for this tile has an associated script with a single integer value that I would like to be able to modify uniquely for each placed tile in the Tilemap editor.  How would I go about doing that?  Our current workaround is to create a different tile/prefab with everything identical except the integer value, but there has to be a better way as this defeats the purpose of having a prefab.  Am I missing something or is this not a current feature?

Thanks!

Its currently not supported.
2D Toolkit 2.1 will support this.

Thanks for the quick response.  Is this the correct relevant line in the 2.1 Beta notes?

"Tilemap editor - Instanced prefabs are saved. You can change properties on them and they will be remembered."

Yes. Apparently its still buggy, but we'll be fixing that before 2.1 final.
