Tile Custom Properties

You can also specify some Unreal Engine properties for the Tiles within a Tile Set from Tiled, which will automatically set it on the imported asset.

Here is the list of custom properties that you can set up on your Tiles:

• Opacity: (float) Set this to change the Opacity of the Tile (a value between 0 and 1). (Semi transparency will only work on Translucent materials)

• Group: (int) Set this to create a Tile Group with all of the tiles with the same group id of this tile set.

• UserDataName: (string) Set this to set up the UserData property that can be used for pairing with Data Tables in Unreal.

• ActorSpawnerID: (string) The ID of the Actor to be spawned whenever this tile is used. (See Tile Actor Spawner for more info)

• ActorSpawnerOffsetX: (float) The offset in the X axis from the center of the tile used for spawning the Actor. (See Tile Actor Spawner for more info)

• ActorSpawnerOffsetY: (float) The offset in the Y axis from the center of the tile used for spawning the Actor. (See Tile Actor Spawner for more info)

• ActorSpawnerOffsetZ: (float) The offset in the Z axis from the center of the tile used for spawning the Actor. (See Tile Actor Spawner for more info)
