Show on the tile select screen the ID of the tile
It would be nice for those of us that use procgen to manipulate tilemaps if we could easily get the ID of a specific tile for use with tilemap.set_tile() this is the screen I'm talking about
Also I have made a post on the forums about it. (https://forum.defold.com/t/suggestion-tilemap-selection-id/68880)
How can I begin working on this feature as a new contributor?
Thank you for showing an interest in contributing to Defold!
- Step one is to make sure you can build the editor. Please have a look at the setup instructions here: https://github.com/defold/defold/blob/dev/editor/README.md
- Once you have everything set up you can start contributing. Are you familiar with Clojure, the language most of the editor is written in?
@matgis and @vlaaad will provide some pointers to the relevant files and some getting started instructions!
I believe the "Cell 1, 1" string is produced here: https://github.com/defold/defold/blob/dev/editor/src/clj/editor/tile_map.clj#L1144
You should be able to calculate the tile ID using the tile-dimensions that are also available there and add it to the string.
It seems like I can rewrite this line with the x and y position of the cursor divided by the width and height of a tile. I have written this and would like to try opening a pull request but am receiving a "permission denied" message when trying to do so. What are your thoughts on this?

In order to create a pull request you need to first fork the repository to your own account. Once that is done and you have added and tested your changes you can create a pull request to the upstream repository (ie this one)
