This is how I got Ruletiles working in 2019.4.0f1

  1. Downloaded the latest version of 2d extras-master from the github repository.
    https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/2d-extras

  2. unpacked it into an arbitrary place on my disk

  3. In Unity, used Windows -->Package Manager to install the package manually, from disk. It prompts you to find a .json file, which does not exist in the old version Rick uploaded, unfortunately.

  4. once installed, you can now create Rule Tiles, but they are hiding!

I hope this helps anyone else who struggles. This course is a bit more fiddly than the others, especially if you make the mistake of trying to find and slice your own sprite assets into tiles. Fiddly, though, is rather the name of the game when it comes to coding…

If you got it working wouldn’t that make you your own hero?

To add to this: To get the Rule Tiles working that include rotating for corners, you’ll need to click the grey circle in the middle of the grid where you set your rules with the green arrows or red crosses. Once it displays an arrow your’e good to go, easy as that!

Im on a recent version of unity and I cant find the Package Manager :\

Cheers, this is a perfect tutorial. Note that using Unity 2019 you’ll need to download from this page https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/2d-extras/tree/2019.4 as the current ‘master’ version is for Unity 2020+

This probably should be called out in the video or in the 2017 differences bonus section. I got it sorted without trouble, but Unity seem to be making this part needlessly complicated…

Im a bit late here but this guide is a step to step tutorial to make it work, download to placing it in the package manager folder.

Thank you :slight_smile:
