Question - IDE Auto Tile simply doesn't work.

[RealityShifter]

I followed the manual, and it's just not acting as expected at all. I've tried with the left top tile empty, and filled.

this happens or nothing happens.

Any advice?

I'm slowly figuring this out, but one thing I know for sure: It's really annoying that when setting up an auto tiler you can't select the top left cell of your tileset! Why is this? If you could use that top left cell you should be able to draw a tileset sprite to match the auto tile template but that simply doesn't work. So weird, please change.

Tile 0 is "special", I've described this several times in the forum. We use it to optimise out tiles when rendering, and it helps collision checks knowing that anything !=0 is a tile. All you need to do is move your tiles down a row.

Easy enough, just seems odd. Sorry to bring it up again on the forums lol.

I still don't get it. The auto tile doesn't appear somehow. And when I make the auto tile, the template block turns red. Does this indicates I did something wrong?

You're making the same mistake. You're trying the use the special 0-tile (top-left) from your tileset. So just avoid that one and the autotile set should fill up without turning red.

You also can't use the same tile twice (in case you have...)
