Tiled utilities and an AssetLoader for the Bevy game engine.

Caution

There are still quite a few bugs, missing / un-intuitive functionality, missing docs, etc. Please report any / all issues you encounter !

Note

Colliders are generated by marking the object with a bool property called collider, and setting it to true

Note

Objects in a Tile via their Tileset spawn Children Entities of the Parent Tile Entity. This is the case for both Tiles in a TileLayer and Tile Objects ObjectType::Tile.

Note

Polygon colliders are generated using convex_hull. Eventually some method of distinguishing how to generate colliders can be used.

Features

• Parse Group, Tile, and Object layers, Tile and object properties.
• Loads the scene into Bevy.
• Generate Tiled Colliders as bevy_rapier2d or avian2d Colliders.

Documentation

• Bevy Plugin documentation
• Parser documentation

Bevy Usage Example

Add bevy_tiled_loader to Cargo.toml:

# For 2D applications:
[dependencies]
bevy_tiled_loader = {version = "*", features = "avian2d_colliders"} # You should explicitly set the version.

Add the plugin and load a *.tmx:

app.add_plugins(
  TiledScenePlugin
)

// ...

fn spawn_tiled_scene(mut commands: Commands, asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) {
  let tiled_map_handle: Handle<TiledMapAsset> = asset_server.load("my_first_tiled_map.tmx");

  commands.spawn(
    BufferedMapScene(tiled_map_handle)
  );
}

fn reading_tiled_properties_example(
    tiled_map_assets: Res<Assets<TiledMapAsset>>,
    query_scenes: Query<(Entity, &TiledMapScene), Added<SceneRoot>>,
    children: Query<&Children>,
    query_tiled_id: Query<&TiledId>,
) {
    query_scenes.iter().for_each(|(entity, TiledMapScene(tiled_map_handle))| {
        let Some(tma) = tiled_map_assets.get(tiled_map_handle) else {return};

        children
            .iter_descendants(entity)
            .filter_map(|child_e| query_tiled_id.get(child_e).ok().map(|tile_id| (child_e, tile_id)))
            .for_each(|(child_e, tile_id)| {
                match tile_id {
                    TiledId::Object(o_id) => {
                        // For Tile objects `ObjectType::Tile`, you may also want to include the properties placed on
                        // the tile itself with the object's properties, done like so :
                        let object = tma.map.get_scene_object(*o_id).unwrap();
                        object.properties.iter().chain(
                            try_match::match_ok!(object.otype, ObjectType::Tile(t_guid))
                                .and_then(|t_guid| tma.map.get_tile_properties(t_guid))
                                .iter()
                                .flat_map(|hm| hm.iter()),
                        )
                    }
                    .for_each(|(k, v)| match k.as_str() {
                        "my_property" => todo!(),
                        _ => println!("Un-implemented object property : {}", k),
                    }),
                    TiledId::Layer(_) => todo!(),
                    TiledId::Tile(_) => todo!(),
                }
            })
    })
}

Also, see load_tiled_components which shows how to extract properties from Tiled objects.
