How do I setup grids for isometric tiles?

[Odd_Machine]

Hello, I was working on isometric tiles. Downloaded the sprites from here,

Isometric Nature Blocks by mewki

But, I can’t align/snap the sprites properly. Its becoming like this,

The sprite size is 130x130 pixels. And the grip setup is in 32x32 cell size with 0x0 offsets. Its ticked on as isometric.

How do I snap the sprites together? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
I suggest you to change the grid parameters:

For the grid, I believe the width should be twice the height. In your case, try 32,16 or 130,65

Thanks for the reply. But by default the grid is set up to 32x32. Exactly, like you have shown.

Thanks for the reply. I have set it up 32/64/130.65, but it still does not work.

My mistake. Try 130,65 or some multiple that divides evenly with 130 if you want subdivisions. If you want a subdivision it would be 65,32.5

Hi, I have tried 65, 32.5. But it still is not working. However, I have downloaded another asset pack (from Kenny). Isometric Dungeon Tiles by Kenney (Assets)
And it snapped together just fine (with 32x32 grid setup). Kenny’s sprites were 256x512 pixels.

Here it is,

Good to hear. That other set seems to be in a different perspective or ratio.

Help with isometric movement

I’m trying to move a sprite in a four way isometric movement, each floor tile has four variables which determines which way it can travel, I’ve got the sprite moving but he still wonders off track slightly, also he sometimes overshoots. Has anyone got any ideas for a more precise movement? Pic of the layout, each floor tile is 64x32 [Screenshot_20230610-083618] Here is my routine, I know using forces to move is not a great idea as it’s prone to overshoot [Screenshot_20230610-090155]

[Keith_1357]

At the moment they’re just having trouble getting the tile to snap to the grid. Unfortunately, I was assuming the wrong ratio and the first tile set seemed to be at a different ratio/perspective. They tried a different set and it seems to be working.

[djsedaw]

Yeah thought that once they were past the snapping phase they might need some help from the extension

Thanks, yeah sure. I’ll look into it. Is it this extension?

It’s not an extension. It’s a few functions to convert from the isometric coordinates to the standard 2D x,y. I’m still working on it.

The isometric Pathfinder extension (not mine) is much more interesting.

This is an example that I made.

Pathfind Along specified path in isometric game

It took some doing but I made some progress. I still don’t really understand the linked objects tools but I was able to get it to work based on the examples. It’s still far from workable for your project but I think the technique might be there. Click on any road tile. You can’t click when the “mover” object is moving. Source: I left the tile set in the asset for in the original zip in case you want to experiment with them or use them for reference. I know you plan on having the player clic…

I have other versions somewhere if it interests you. You can also browse my github page. There’s a mix of all the example that I’ve made for various people. It’s basic stuff but interesting.

Sure, I’ll check it out. Thanks a lot. I am pretty sure I would need them soon.
