Tidy Tile-Mapper: Of Blocks and Block-Sets.

Question: What is a Block?


A Block is the fundamental building-thing in Tidy Tile-Mapper.

It is composed of a collider measuring the size specified in Map Creation Advanced options (by default, it's a 1-by-1-by-1 cube).

Within the Block there are Block-sets - each representing an orientation related to the map surrounding the block. These are shown by the icons in the Block Editor.

When being placed within the map, the Block will display whichever Block-set corresponds to the surrounding state of the map.

If you have not provided any objects within the Block-set, the Block will use its Default Block-set (marked and specified by the check-box beside the icon in the Block-set).

Each Block-set allows multiple variants within it. When painting, you may cycle through these variants using paint random and cycle variants.
