Tilemap.SetTilesBlock

Parameters

Description

Fills an area with array of Tiles.

This method is a faster way to set multiple tiles in an area than calling SetTile for each tile. The bounds size must match the array size. For example bounds of 1x2x3 needs an array length of 6.

// Fill area on Tilemap with checkerboard pattern of tileA and tileB
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Tilemaps;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TileBase tileA;
    public TileBase tileB;
    public BoundsInt area;

    void Start()
    {
        TileBase[] tileArray = new TileBase[area.size.x * area.size.y * area.size.z];
        for (int index = 0; index < tileArray.Length; index++)
        {
            tileArray[index] = index % 2 == 0 ? tileA : tileB;
        }
        Tilemap tilemap = GetComponent<Tilemap>();
        tilemap.SetTilesBlock(area, tileArray);
    }
}
