Manual (includes demo) | Trailer

Animated Tiles 2D is a plugin for Unreal Engine that does one thing really well: allows for tiles in a Tilemap to be converted to their animated equivalent with very quick and minimal setup. No C++ knowledge is required, everything is accessible through blueprints.

• [Plug & Play] This plugin is Designer and Artist friendly. Each blueprint is commented, clean, easy to follow, and all important variables are exposed, making it extremely easy to understand and customize.

• [Features] This plugin allows one to:

  • Swap static tiles on a TileMap to animated tiles. The animation's play rate can be adjusted to a random range if desired.

  • Swap static tiles on a TileMap to any class. For example: interactable item actors, kill floor actors, AI actors, etc.

  • Get info about a tile via its location in the world.

    • An example of usage here is one can play footstep SFX based on the type of tile located under the player's feet.

• [Demo level] Included is a project which showcases all of the above features, and also encompasses:

  • 2D platformer gameplay.

  • Paper character with animation states and footstep notifications.

    • Character also has gamepad support and a stamina system that affects footstep SFX volume + idle animation play rate.

• [Requirements] Epic's free Paper2D plugin is required to be enabled for this plugin to function correctly.
