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 Tile Map:

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

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

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

A predefined set of Custom Properties is available to download and apply to your Tiled project, which includes all the above properties. You can set it up by following this guide:

1.- Download the predefined custom properties from here

2.- Open the Custom Types Editor in View > Custom Types Editor, click on Import on the top right corner and select the previously downloaded file.

3.- To apply the properties to your tile, open the Tile Set and select a Tile, in the Properties window set the class to Tile. You should see new custom properties show for your tile.
