Grid Selection Properties

Propiedad Función
Tile Displays the Tile currently set at the selected cell location. If you select multiple cells, and they display the same Tile, then that Tile’s name is shown. If you select multiple cells with different Tiles, this property is blank.
Sprite Displays the Sprite assigned to the Tile in the Tile property above. If you select multiple cells with the same Tile, then this displays the same Sprite. If you select multiple cells with different Tiles, this property is blank. This is grayed out by default, so you cannot edit it.
Color The vertex color of the Sprite. This is grayed out if Lock Color is enabled, so you cannot edit it.
Collider Type The Collider Type of the Tiles at the selected location. This is grayed out by default and cannot be edited.
- Note: The following Transforms (Position, Rotation, Scale) are grayed out if Lock Transform is enabled and cannot be edited.
Position Enter the offset (in cells) for each axis to shift the Tile Sprites along the respective axis. The Tiles’ actual cell positions on the Tilemap remain unchanged.
Rotation This rotates one or more Tile Sprites at the selected location. Enter the rotation (in degrees) for each axis to rotate the Tile Sprites around the respective axis. The Tiles’ actual cell positions on the Tilemap remain unchanged.
Scale Scales the size of one or more Tile Sprites at the selected location. Enter the factor for each axis to scale the Tile Sprite by along the respective axis. The Tiles’ actual cell positions on the Tilemap remain unchanged.
Lock Color Select this to prevent changes to the Color of the Tile, and clear this to enable the Color property. When this property is grayed out, its state remains fixed. See the Tilemaps.TileFlags set in the Tile Asset to modify this property.
Lock Transform Select this to prevent changes to the Transforms of the Tile, and clear this to enable the Transform properties. When this property is grayed out, its state remains fixed. See the Tilemaps.TileFlags set in the Tile Asset to modify this property.
Delete Selection Select this button to delete the currently selected contents in the Tilemap.
