How does the tileset editor work in Stencyl?

How big should the tiles be in Stencyl?

Keep the tile size for all tilesets and scenes the same. For example, if your tilesets have a tile size of 32 x 32, make sure that the scenes also have a tile size of 32 x 32. When defining custom polygon shapes for Tiles, you can only use convex polygons. If you need to make a concave polygon, use multiple tiles to achieve this.

How do you animate a tile in Stencyl?

Open up a Tileset. Click on the Tile you’d like to animate in the left pane. You’ll now see information in the right-hand pane. The bottom part of this pane should look familiar. It’s the same as the one you use for managing an Actor’s animations. From this point, it’s the same process and user interface as working with Actor Animations.

How do I change the column count in Stencyl?

You can alter a tileset’s row and column count by clicking directly on the row and column headers. You may add additional tiles to a tileset after the initial import. For best results, we recommend importing using an image that is the same width as the existing tileset, so additions don’t get “offset” and break the layout.
