If you are creating a 2D tile-based game and you want to let the player "draw" the world while they are playing your game, these actions are a decent thing to have.

Note: While these actions will re-draw tiles, they don't refresh box colliders. You'll need to figure out how to do this some other way.

UnitileGetMouse: Get the coordinates of the mouse and convert to UniTile coordinates.
UnitileSetTile: Paint a tile.
UnitileGetTileInfo: Get information about a tile.
UnitileGetTileProperty: Get the property of a tile.
UnitileGetBoxCollider: Get information about a box collider attached to a tile.

Hi,

 Would you like a dedicated page on a user wiki for that?

As long as I don't have to maintain it. I've moved onto another tool. I'll have actions for it soon. :)

Hi,

 no maintenance or any commitment whatsoever si required, I think it woul djust be easier for users to have it referenced all in one place.

 Can't wait to see what you are coming up with :)

I can't wait to share more about the game I'm working on. When it goes into beta, I'll be chatting up a storm. :)

Nice!

 I am having a very frustrating time with one of my project, it's such a huge source of playmaker goodness, and I am tighten to a strict nda, so I can't share anything but just the custom actions I made... a pity, it has a lot of very interesting patterns and great functionalities.... oh well, can't wait to see what you've done!

 bye,

 Jean

Hopefully after the project is done? Maybe you can turn some of them into generics that aren't tied to any one project? Your actions have been incredibly helpful. I often find that you've created something a few days/weeks before I needed it. It's awesome.
