Giving unique names to tiles in a TileMap [Solved]

[valkyrienyanko]

I'm developing a 2D platformer and I'm using TileMaps to create the world. If I could give unique names to tiles, I could do the following in script.

if (tile.Name == "water")
  // slow down player

if (tile.Name == "ice")
  // decrease player friction

if (tile.Name == "lava")
  // kill player

As suppose to

// creating comments to keep track of what is what
// 0 = air
// 6 = water
// 23 = ice
// 2 = lava

if (tile.Id == 6)
  // slow down player

if (tile.Id == 23)
  // decrease player friction

if (tile.Id == 2)
  // kill player

This would make scripts a whole lot less confusing to work with.

Note that TileSet.TileGetName(tileId) does not help me as it only returns the name of the file followed by the id of the tile (e.g. tiles_packed.png 0 tiles_packed.png 1)

You can currently use TileSet's find_tile_by_name() in order to avoid magic numbers.

I remember playing around with the tilemaps name functions and they returned the file name of the tileset followed by the id of the tile (tiles_packed.png 1 tiles_packed.png 2) This does not solve my issue. What is the point of finding a tile by its name if you can't assign unique names to tiles in the first place? I want to be able to assign unique names to tiles and refer to these names later in script.

This is the code I used to get the tile names.

public override void _Process(float delta)
{
    var tileTerrainName = GetCurrentTileName(_tileMapTerrain, Position);
    GD.Print(tileTerrainName);
}

private string GetCurrentTileName(TileMap tilemap, Vector2 pos)
{
    var cellPos = tilemap.WorldToMap(pos);
    var cellId = tilemap.GetCellv(cellPos);

    if (cellId != TileMap.InvalidCell)
        return tilemap.TileSet.TileGetName(cellId);

    return null;
}

You actually can assign an unique name to a tile.
In 3.x, you have to open the TileSet editor, select the tile, and then edit the "name" property in the inspector.

You are the best. Why have I not see this before!!!!!!!!!

Can I do this in Godot 4 tileset as well? I can't find any option for it. (nvm figured it out)
