Games How does the x2 Object Type work in Tiled?

[Computersmith64]

I don't understand how to use the x2 object type. I've created a new map (using a "roads" tileset that I have) & imported the x2 Object Type, but I can't figure out how to associate it with the map. When I look at the map that came with the example (map1.json) it shows an object layer (ObjectLayer1) with a sub-layer (x2) - but I can't seem to get that in my map.

It takes some time to get used to Tiled editor. Overall it is quite simple to use.
1. Add an object layer:

2. Add objects and change their type to x2.
If everything is configured properly then you should now see the list of custom properties.

Thanks Erel - so every object on the map must be x2?

Yes*

* Other objects will be ignored. This is useful if you want to add objects based on Tile images and then add a x2 object with the same shape. You can see it in many of the examples.
