Tilemap should have separate Light Mask for each layer

[Perpetuum1101]

This functionality is available in Unity. I think it would be nice to see the floor illuminated while the walls are not.

I was looking for exactly this as well! 😅

Since TileMap is deprecated it's unlikely to be added, is it not covered by TileMapLayer?

[WilhelmT]

It's not fixed by TileMapLayer, since the light mask is set for the TileSet, which is (still) used by all TileMapLayer

[AThousandShips]

You just set it for the tile no? Visibility isn't per TileSet?

[WilhelmT]

Yes, I meant to say that it's set per tile, sorry for the confusion.

Setting it per tile means that it gets applied to all TileMapLayers since tiles are modified through on the level of a TileSet, which is shared for all TileMapLayers. Any change to tiles gets applied to all TIleMapLayers, and hence they cannot have separate light masks.

That's separate from the original discussion, so that's something you should make a new proposal or discussion for, the walls would be a separate tile from the floor so they can have a different light management, having the same tile behave differently in different layers is pretty different (and you can already do it with tile alternatives)
