Node for 2D tile-based maps.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

Node for 2D tile-based maps. A **TileMapLayer** uses a :ref:`TileSet<class_TileSet>` which contain a list of tiles which are used to create grid-based maps. Unlike the :ref:`TileMap<class_TileMap>` node, which is deprecated, **TileMapLayer** has only one layer of tiles. You can use several **TileMapLayer** to achieve the same result as a :ref:`TileMap<class_TileMap>` node.

For performance reasons, all TileMap updates are batched at the end of a frame. Notably, this means that scene tiles from a :ref:`TileSetScenesCollectionSource<class_TileSetScenesCollectionSource>` may be initialized after their parent. This is only queued when inside the scene tree.

To force an update earlier on, call :ref:`update_internals<class_TileMapLayer_method_update_internals>`.

- |void| **set_rendering_quadrant_size**\ (\ value\: :ref:`int<class_int>`\ )
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_rendering_quadrant_size**\ (\ )

The **TileMapLayer**'s quadrant size. A quadrant is a group of tiles to be drawn together on a single canvas item, for optimization purposes. :ref:`rendering_quadrant_size<class_TileMapLayer_property_rendering_quadrant_size>` defines the length of a square's side, in the map's coordinate system, that forms the quadrant. Thus, the default quadrant size groups together ``16 * 16 = 256`` tiles.

The quadrant size does not apply on a Y-sorted **TileMapLayer**, as tiles are grouped by Y position instead in that case.

\ **Note:** As quadrants are created according to the map's coordinate system, the quadrant's "square shape" might not look like square in the **TileMapLayer**'s local coordinate system.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_TileMapLayer_private_method__tile_data_runtime_update:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **_tile_data_runtime_update**\ (\ coords\: :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>`, tile_data\: :ref:`TileData<class_TileData>`\ ) |virtual| :ref:`🔗<class_TileMapLayer_private_method__tile_data_runtime_update>`

Called with a :ref:`TileData<class_TileData>` object about to be used internally by the **TileMapLayer**, allowing its modification at runtime.

This method is only called if :ref:`_use_tile_data_runtime_update<class_TileMapLayer_private_method__use_tile_data_runtime_update>` is implemented and returns ``true`` for the given tile ``coords``.

\ **Warning:** The ``tile_data`` object's sub-resources are the same as the one in the TileSet. Modifying them might impact the whole TileSet. Instead, make sure to duplicate those resources.

\ **Note:** If the properties of ``tile_data`` object should change over time, use :ref:`notify_runtime_tile_data_update<class_TileMapLayer_method_notify_runtime_tile_data_update>` to notify the **TileMapLayer** it needs an update.

Should return ``true`` if the tile at coordinates ``coords`` requires a runtime update.

\ **Warning:** Make sure this function only returns ``true`` when needed. Any tile processed at runtime without a need for it will imply a significant performance penalty.

\ **Note:** If the result of this function should change, use :ref:`notify_runtime_tile_data_update<class_TileMapLayer_method_notify_runtime_tile_data_update>` to notify the **TileMapLayer** it needs an update.

Returns for the given coordinates ``coords_in_pattern`` in a :ref:`TileMapPattern<class_TileMapPattern>` the corresponding cell coordinates if the pattern was pasted at the ``position_in_tilemap`` coordinates (see :ref:`set_pattern<class_TileMapLayer_method_set_pattern>`). This mapping is required as in half-offset tile shapes, the mapping might not work by calculating ``position_in_tile_map + coords_in_pattern``.

:ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` **map_to_local**\ (\ map_position\: :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>`\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_TileMapLayer_method_map_to_local>`

Returns the centered position of a cell in the **TileMapLayer**'s local coordinate space. To convert the returned value into global coordinates, use :ref:`Node2D.to_global<class_Node2D_method_to_global>`. See also :ref:`local_to_map<class_TileMapLayer_method_local_to_map>`.

\ **Note:** This may not correspond to the visual position of the tile, i.e. it ignores the :ref:`TileData.texture_origin<class_TileData_property_texture_origin>` property of individual tiles.

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **notify_runtime_tile_data_update**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_TileMapLayer_method_notify_runtime_tile_data_update>`

Notifies the **TileMapLayer** node that calls to :ref:`_use_tile_data_runtime_update<class_TileMapLayer_private_method__use_tile_data_runtime_update>` or :ref:`_tile_data_runtime_update<class_TileMapLayer_private_method__tile_data_runtime_update>` will lead to different results. This will thus trigger a **TileMapLayer** update.

\ **Warning:** Updating the **TileMapLayer** is computationally expensive and may impact performance. Try to limit the number of calls to this function to avoid unnecessary update.

\ **Note:** This does not trigger a direct update of the **TileMapLayer**, the update will be done at the end of the frame as usual (unless you call :ref:`update_internals<class_TileMapLayer_method_update_internals>`).

|void| **set_cell**\ (\ coords\: :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>`, source_id\: :ref:`int<class_int>` = -1, atlas_coords\: :ref:`Vector2i<class_Vector2i>` = Vector2i(-1, -1), alternative_tile\: :ref:`int<class_int>` = 0\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_TileMapLayer_method_set_cell>`

Sets the tile identifiers for the cell at coordinates ``coords``. Each tile of the :ref:`TileSet<class_TileSet>` is identified using three parts:

- The source identifier ``source_id`` identifies a :ref:`TileSetSource<class_TileSetSource>` identifier. See :ref:`TileSet.set_source_id<class_TileSet_method_set_source_id>`,

- The atlas coordinate identifier ``atlas_coords`` identifies a tile coordinates in the atlas (if the source is a :ref:`TileSetAtlasSource<class_TileSetAtlasSource>`). For :ref:`TileSetScenesCollectionSource<class_TileSetScenesCollectionSource>` it should always be ``Vector2i(0, 0)``,

- The alternative tile identifier ``alternative_tile`` identifies a tile alternative in the atlas (if the source is a :ref:`TileSetAtlasSource<class_TileSetAtlasSource>`), and the scene for a :ref:`TileSetScenesCollectionSource<class_TileSetScenesCollectionSource>`.

If ``source_id`` is set to ``-1``, ``atlas_coords`` to ``Vector2i(-1, -1)``, or ``alternative_tile`` to ``-1``, the cell will be erased. An erased cell gets **all** its identifiers automatically set to their respective invalid values, namely ``-1``, ``Vector2i(-1, -1)`` and ``-1``.

Update all the cells in the ``cells`` coordinates array so that they use the given ``terrain`` for the given ``terrain_set``. If an updated cell has the same terrain as one of its neighboring cells, this function tries to join the two. This function might update neighboring tiles if needed to create correct terrain transitions.

If ``ignore_empty_terrains`` is true, empty terrains will be ignored when trying to find the best fitting tile for the given terrain constraints.

\ **Note:** To work correctly, this method requires the **TileMapLayer**'s TileSet to have terrains set up with all required terrain combinations. Otherwise, it may produce unexpected results.

Update all the cells in the ``path`` coordinates array so that they use the given ``terrain`` for the given ``terrain_set``. The function will also connect two successive cell in the path with the same terrain. This function might update neighboring tiles if needed to create correct terrain transitions.

If ``ignore_empty_terrains`` is true, empty terrains will be ignored when trying to find the best fitting tile for the given terrain constraints.

\ **Note:** To work correctly, this method requires the **TileMapLayer**'s TileSet to have terrains set up with all required terrain combinations. Otherwise, it may produce unexpected results.

Pastes the :ref:`TileMapPattern<class_TileMapPattern>` at the given ``position`` in the tile map. See also :ref:`get_pattern<class_TileMapLayer_method_get_pattern>`.

.. _class_TileMapLayer_method_update_internals:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **update_internals**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_TileMapLayer_method_update_internals>`

Triggers a direct update of the **TileMapLayer**. Usually, calling this function is not needed, as **TileMapLayer** node updates automatically when one of its properties or cells is modified.

However, for performance reasons, those updates are batched and delayed to the end of the frame. Calling this function will force the **TileMapLayer** to update right away instead.

\ **Warning:** Updating the **TileMapLayer** is computationally expensive and may impact performance. Try to limit the number of updates and how many tiles they impact.
