TileBase.RefreshTile

Parameters

Description

This method is called when the tile is refreshed.

Implement this and call Tilemap.RefreshTile on all affected tiles on the Tilemap including the tile at the given position to refresh them. This is also useful if the placement of a tile affects the properties of neighboring tiles.
