Support / Re: Tilemap as Prefab for Infinite or Dynamic Terrain

« on: September 11, 2015, 08:06:21 pm »

Thank you for the reply.

If I understand correctly, with this method I can't generate a, let's say, "infinite tilemap". I'd have to create a certain number of scenes beforehand and then load them additively where I want.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

Thanks again,

Support / Tilemap as Prefab for Infinite or Dynamic Terrain

« on: September 10, 2015, 06:59:52 pm »

Hi,

I'm making a game that requires my terrain (tilemap) to be very big, and procedurally generated. The shape of the level I can change by means of SetTile and such, and is working like a charm, but now I want to be able to dynamically add tilemaps to the scene according to the position of the player.
I saw in a post a recommendation to use LoadLevelAdditiveAsync, but with this approach, unless I understood incorrectly, I'd have to have a scene for each tilemap I want to add.

So, what I tried was creating a prefab of the tilemap and instantiating it at runtime, but this has a bizarre behavior (possibly I'm doing something wrong). The newly created tilemap appears on the hierarchy but the Render Data doesn't. I tried Build() and ForceBuild().

I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction on how to achieve this.
Or, if someone could point to a solution to building large worlds without me having to write my own tilemap.

Thanks in advance!!!
