Is there a way to disable collision for all tiles in a tilemap, or change the default collision to be off? Having to disable the collision for 500+ tiles is absolutely absurd.

If you have Solid behavior on the Tilemap, you can simply disable it.

Or do you need to disable collisions for most tiles, except a few? In this case it would probably be easier to use a separate tilemap object for collisions. You can make it invisible.

I don't have solid behavior on the tilemap. I don't want collisions on any of my tiles. The problem is tiles have collision by default and you have to disable every single one manually.

I could just ignore it, but I frequently use collision polygons in the editor, and having tilemap collisions show up is pretty unwieldy.

Oh, I see the problem. Yeah, you don't have to worry about collisions if you are not using them.

If you want to get rid of the red outline for all tiles, you can manually edit one JSON file in your project.

Make a back up copy of your project file, rename it to .zip (or save as folder). Extract files, find your tilemap in ObjectTypes folder and edit "tile-collision-polys" section in it manually. You can copy/paste it from here:

There are 1000 lines, you can paste as many lines as there are tiles in your tilemap. Just make sure to preserve the correct JSON structure.

So while you can edit the json, you shouldn't have to rely on editing project files for what I think should be an included functionality. I posted an idea thread here:
