FAQ
What is the current status of the crate ?
While the crate is already definitely usable, it is still under active development.
Expect bugs and missing features !
I plan to follow semver and try to only break API upon new Bevy release.
What kind of maps are supported ?
Currently, we support :
- orthogonal maps
- (mostly) isometric "diamond" maps
- hexagonal "flat-top" maps
- hexagonal "pointy-top" maps
Isometric "diamond" maps currently have an issue with colliders not having the proper shape (see GH issue #32).
Isometric "staggered" maps are not supported at all (see GH issue #31).
Is it possible to automatically add physics colliders ?
Yes, see the dedicated guide.
We currently support both Avian and Rapier physics backend.
Is it possible to use Tiled "custom properties" ?
Yes, see the dedicated guide.
I'm using an isometric map and it seems all messed up!
Make sure you are actually using a "diamond" map and not a "staggered" one (which are not supported).
Also, for isometric maps, you may want to tweak the TilemapRenderSettings Component from bevy_ecs_tilemap.
More information in the isometric maps example
How to enable map hot-reload ?
You need to enable Bevy file_watcher feature.
bevy_ecs_tiled will then be able to automatically reload a map that was updated with Tiled.
I found a bug! What should I do ?
Please have a look to already openned issues and if it does not already exists, please fill a new one !
I want to add a new feature that's not yet in the crate!
Great news! Please have a look to the dedicated section
