Hey peeps, I tried searching for an answer for this before I posted this. Maybe someone can help me....I hope I'm just missing something.
So I made a few tiles and a tileset. Ar first it was simply a single floor tile, 64 x 32 pixels. However when I try and place it on a tile layer, I seem to have absolutely no control on where these tiles go. I mean, I can only place said tiles in accordance with the tile grid, and the tile grid always corresponds to the size of my tiles. I can't place tiles in between. What's more, I'm not given the option for an offset of the tiles in my room so in the end, I can't seem to get the tiles where I want them to go, without perhaps making a second layer and splitting them in two, and doing two halves of the diamond in two different tile blocks.
Please tell me this isn't the way it should be, and that I'm missing something? I remember in GMS I could literally place tiles anywhere I wanted on my screen with a simple line of code. Why can't I do that now in the tile room editor on the tile layer?
Cheers in advance
EDIT: Found a way to offset the tiles (it's in the left hand menu, you can click on the tile layer and select "preferences") but I still can't fill in my isometric diamonds without creating another four layers for each corner to fill in.
