Guys do anyone know how to delete an 1 tile in script (previous placed tile) within some seconds? I paste the current script bellow. Any help will be appreciated.
Script
extends Node2D
@onready var shadow: AnimatedSprite2D = $Shadow @onready var tile_map: TileMap = $TileMap
var groundL = 0
func _input(event: InputEvent) → void:
if not Input.is_action_pressed(“MBL”) or not Input.is_action_pressed(“MBR”):
var mousePos = get_global_mouse_position()
var tileMousePos = tile_map.local_to_map(mousePos) + Vector2i(-2, 0)
var sourceId : int = 1
var tileAtlasCoor: Vector2i = Vector2i(0,0)
tile_map.modulate.a8 = 100
tile_map.set_cell(groundL, tileMousePos, sourceId, tileAtlasCoor)
if Input.is_action_pressed("MBL"):
var mousePos = get_global_mouse_position()
var tileMousePos = tile_map.local_to_map(mousePos) + Vector2i(-2, 0)
var sourceId : int = 1
var tileAtlasCoor: Vector2i = Vector2i(0,0)
tile_map.modulate.a8 = 1000
tile_map.set_cell(groundL, tileMousePos, sourceId, tileAtlasCoor)
if Input.is_action_pressed("MBR"):
var mousePos = get_global_mouse_position()
var tileMousePos = tile_map.local_to_map(mousePos) + Vector2i(-2, 0)
var sourceId : int = -1
var tileAtlasCoor: Vector2i = Vector2i(-1,-1)
tile_map.modulate.a8 = 1000
tile_map.set_cell(groundL, tileMousePos, sourceId, tileAtlasCoor)
You can use this function to erase a tile after it has been set:
func cell_timeout(layer: int, coords: Vector2i)
# Create a timer to hide the feedback label after 0.5 seconds
var timer = Timer.new()
timer.wait_time = 0.5 # Adjust to your requirement
timer.one_shot = true
timer.timeout.connect(func():
tile_map.erase_cell(layer, coords)
timer.queue_free() # Properly free the timer node
)
add_child(timer) # Add the timer to the scene tree
timer.start()
Here is an example for your “MLB” action:
if Input.is_action_pressed("MBL"):
var mousePos = get_global_mouse_position()
var tileMousePos = tile_map.local_to_map(mousePos) + Vector2i(-2, 0)
var sourceId : int = 1
var tileAtlasCoor: Vector2i = Vector2i(0,0)
tile_map.modulate.a8 = 1000
tile_map.set_cell(groundL, tileMousePos, sourceId, tileAtlasCoor)
cell_timeout(groundL,tileMousePos)
Thanks for help but i wanted to make that the tile will disapear when the mouse moved to another cell coordinations, like in some automation/ factory games. Do you know how to do that?
And even when the tile is placed then the tile dissapear after placing the correct in pressing LMB.Oh and i forgot i made another if statement for that.
I can help you if you describe your problem clearly and in detail. If you want to erase a tile on mousemove, you can use this in your _input function:
if event is InputEventMouseMotion:
var mousePos = get_global_mouse_position()
var tileMousePos = tile_map.local_to_map(mousePos) + Vector2i(-2, 0)
tile_map.erase_cell(groundL, tileMousePos)
This will delete any cell that the mouse moves over. If you need a more specific implementation, you would need to track tileMousePos in a global variable and write some code to respond when it changes.
So you said that it will delete any cells on the current layer but i dont think the “erase_cell” function work for me beacuse its not easing cells. Maybe i did something wrong.Here you have my current code to look for errors.
Edit: I didnt saw the “iI can help you if you describe your problem clearly and in detail”. So i want to make an conveyor placing sytem like in ShapeZ, Starground. And i need to make an “shadow” for the tiles before placing it(image bellow). If you need more simply ask. Thanks.

You say it’s not erasing cells from your tile_map. Can you tell me what parts of your code are working and what parts are not?
Try putting a breakpoint here and see if it is called and with what values. You may need to add some print statements to follow along with what the script does.
So you’re saying there is a tile on position (0,1) on the shadow layer and it’s not being erased?
If that’s the case, try printing the output of tilemap.get_cell_source_id(shadowL,tileMousePos) and see what value is returned. Then we’ll know if it can reach the expected tile.
