Draw tile objects in game based on external file or javascript?

How do I...?
1

I’m making a game with mainly one scene where there’s a lot of of tilemap objects needed. I want to be able to spawn and de-spawn tilemap objects with their intended drawn patterns that are made for them. I assume there’s a way to store the tilemap drawings and apply them to any tilemap like instance variables in the scene editor, wether it can be done with an event or javascript related thing. I think it will help a ton with optimization which I’ve been very concerned about lately.
Thanks for reading!

Hi,
do you know about external layouts? It sounds like this is what you are looking for.
