All about TileMaps in Godot 4.3

A lot of things changed in Godot 4.3 regarding TileMaps. A new TileMapLayer node has been added and it changes the way TileMap Layers are managed.

At first I wanted to only cover the changed topics, but I think it is much nicer to have a single place in which you can find everything you need about TileMaps and TileSets.

In addition to my previous video about TileMaps:    • In depth TILEMAPS Guide for Godot 4.2   this also covers the Atlas Merging Tool, Alternative Tiles and Tile Animations, and migrating between Godot 4.2 and 4.3 Tilemaps, so even if you saw that video, you might still find some other useful tips (Don't worry, you don't have to search through the whole video, I'll add chapters for each topic below).

Common errors:
When adding separation to your tileset, you might get an error like: "Cannot create tile. The tile is outside the texture or tiles are already present in the space the tile would cover."

To fix this, go to the yellow warning sign on your tileset, click the three dots and remove tiles outside of the texture.
