Description

Summary

Right now, every AutoTile in a Tileset has to be configured manually, even if its AutoTiles are laid out regularly in a grid. When creating a new AutoTile, it could copy and offset the previous items config to avoid repetitive work.

Analysis

  • Determine the previous AutoTile's position and size on the Tileset in tiles, offset by its own size to determine the new AutoTile's rect.
  • The offset should work left-to-right, with line breaks where the end is reached.
  • Within the rect, copy IsAutoTile and Neighbours from the previous tile to the new one.
  • AutoTileTilesetEditorMode.AddLayer is probably a good place to start integrating this.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the AddLayer method and implement automatic copying of AutoTile configuration from the previous AutoTile to the new one, offsetting its position.
