Unity RuleTile Generator

RuleTile Generator

This tool was made to save a lot of time in the future with generating rule tiles. And I wanted to share it with everyone so we can spend time on the things that are actually fun to work on :D!

What does it do?

This tool will take your (sliced or not) tile sheet and pre-assign these into slots prefilled to certain popular layouts. Simply enter your tile size in px, whether it's animated or not and frame count. Hit generate, and you rule tile is ready.

Features

Supported layouts:

9-tile

13-tile

15-tile

16-tile

47-tile

Layouts are included in the downloads

Options

• Configurable tile size
• Static tiles
• Animated tiles
• Configurable slots (So your assets don't have to 100% match)

How to install

1. Install 2D Tilemap Extras (com.unity.2d.tilemap.extras) via Package Manager.
2. Drag the RuleTileGenerator_vX.X.X.unitypackage into your project.
3. Import all files.
4. Open Tools → Rule Tile Generator.

How to use

1. Assign a spritesheet (Sprite Mode Multiple, or the tool will grid-slice it).
2. Set tile size.
3. Click Prefill slots if the sheet has at least the number slices in the layout.
4. Adjust any slot with the picker where needed (When your layout differs from the default).
5. Generate RuleTile.

What's next?

If any request for different layouts come in, I'll work them in. I do have a 3x4(12-tile) layout in mind still, since I have a waterfall in that layout.

AI Disclosure

I have used some AI to help assist in coding, since this was my first Unity tool, I asked Grok on how to add UI components in the editor, assist with setting the correct tiling rules and how to export the tool for use.
