This is a simple script for a tilemap-like structure for hexagon tiles. Each hexagon tile is a Node2D which is positioned automatically when added to the HexGrid.
The HexGrid uses axial coordinates (-y up), and assumes pointy-top hexagons.
Copy the HexGrid.gd script from src to your project. This will add HexGrid to the list of node types you can create. Create a HexGrid node in the scene similar to a TileMap, and set the Hex Size property to the size of your hexagons. You must use the HexGrid in scripts to add/remove/get hexes on the grid.
An example is available at src/testing/HexTest.tscn.
- Since each hexagon is a separate node, this lets you do whatever you want in terms of logic or rendering for a node.
- Only one object per coordinate, so if you want to handle layers/multiple nodes on a hex, you must use multiple HexGrid nodes.
- Currently lacks any function to convert world space to axial coords, so all logic will have to use axial coords when getting or manipulating hexes.
- No support for placing hexes in editor, meant for runtime adding/removing of hexes.
