bevy_ecs_tiled

Plugin for working with 2D tilemaps created with the Tiled map editor using the bevy_ecs_tilemap crate to perform rendering so each tile is represented by a Bevy entity. Layers are children of the tilemap entity, tiles and objects are children of layers. Visibility is inherited: map -> layer -> tile

Features

• Orthogonal, isometric and hexagonal maps
• Finite and infinite maps
• Embedded and separate tileset
• Easily spawn / despawn maps
• Animated tiles
• Rapier and Avian colliders added from tilesets and object layers (rapier or avian feature flag)
• Tiled custom properties mapped to Bevy components (user_properties feature flag)

Getting started

[dependencies]
bevy = "0.14"
bevy_ecs_tiled = "0.3"
bevy_ecs_tilemap = "0.14"

Then add the plugin to your app:

use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy_ecs_tiled::prelude::*;
use bevy_ecs_tilemap::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        .add_plugins(TilemapPlugin)
        .add_plugins(TiledMapPlugin)
        .add_systems(Startup, startup)
        .run();
}

fn startup(mut commands: Commands, asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) {
    commands.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());

    // Ensure any tile / tileset paths are relative to assets/
    let map_handle: Handle<TiledMap> = asset_server.load("map.tmx");
    commands.spawn(TiledMapBundle {
        tiled_map: map_handle,
        ..Default::default()
    });
}

See the examples for more advanced use cases.
