Building was already partially in, but now you can see previews and feedback where you can and can't build, hurray



I still need to make an easy way to select different tiles.

The biggest problem has become apparent now though, building a straight tower up is way to easy.
I could just disable building underneath you, but I have to think if that is a right solution.

[Eendhoorn]

I went ahead and implimented the tile selection too.



Some small things need fixing, like the character that turns around during selection. But pretty satisfied with it otherwise.

Took some time to work on this again.


Added an outline around tiles to showcase which are yours. I also added a little meter that displays every player's height. I also want to track the tower's height, since that's the win condition.
There also is a little marker where the goal is now.

I'm almost ready to add in win conditions and actually be able to play the game now, hurray.
I still have to disable building tiles beneath the players, but for debugging purposes it's pretty handy :p

How are you managing tile collisions? Separate collider for every tile?

** EDITED **

Just went through the whole thread.. So every chunk is one mesh? isn't modifying mesh at runtime costly and causes the game to lag a bit?

Yeah right now every tile has a collider. But I will optimize this later by only placing colliders if the tile has an empty neighbour. So only tiles that are on the surface have colliders.

The tilegrid is chunked, and within a chunk all tiles added in one big mesh. So In my current setups I have 12 chunk meshes.
Which is quite a big amount for such a small tilegrid. But the general rule is less meshes = more ram vs more meshes = faster modifications. Since you can dig and build, it's more logical to go for the second approach.
