What is order in layer in unity?

You can group GameObjects into layers in their SpriteRenderer component. This is called the SortingLayer. The sorting order decides what priority each GameObject has to the Renderer within each Sorting Layer. The lower the number you give it, the further back the GameObject appears.

How do Layers work in Unity?

Layers in Unity are used to help indicate some functionalities across many GameObjects. For example, Layers can be used to indicate which GameObjects should be ignored by raycasts or are invisible to the camera.

In which mode the sorting distance of a renderer is the direct distance of the renderer from the camera’s position?

Orthographic
Orthographic. The sorting distance of a Renderer is the distance between the position of the Renderer and the Camera along the Camera’s view direction. For the default 2D setting, this is along the (0, 0, 1) axis.

What is the difference between layer and sorting layer?

Sorting layer only affects how the camera see the game objects. Layer affect the contacts and collision.

How to set the priority of the tilemap?

Set the Sorting Layer of the Tilemap. Select an existing Sorting Layer from the drop-down box, or create a new Sorting Layer. Set the render priority of the Tilemap within its Sorting Layer. Lower numbered layers are rendered first.

How to change the Order of the tiles?

You used to be able to change the rendering type to individual, I.e each tile was a single mesh and you could change sorting order from z to y in project settings. However this option seems to no longer be available. I would like to know the expected workflow to get this sorted as well: If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.

How do you calculate Y position in tilemap?

Using a single tilemap and a single layer. To do this, just change the Render Mode in the (foreground) Tilemap component to Individual. Then in the Project Settings change the sorting to be based on a custom axis (the Y axis). This will make your objects calculate the Y position based on the individual tile’s position.
