How do I create a isometric tilemap?

Hi, I'm new to construct and I am working on a project that uses an isometric tilemap vs a standard one. I did some googling and most of what I can find says that it is not really supported in construct but I do see games made in construct that use isometric tiles so im sure it is doable im just not sure how it is done. What would be a newbies approach to create an isometric tilemap?

thanks in advance!

I guess you can use two tilemaps layered at an offset:

Manually editing them will of course be a difficult job, you might need to create your own editing tool.

Another option is to use sprites for tiles, especially if you need elevation. I tried it in this game:

construct.net/en/free-online-games/green-shadow-12599/play

You can download the source project here.

Isometric formula relatively simple. Look at following example from other user: dropbox.com/s/yql38uaj0mjss4n/iso_tile_map_example_rev.capx

Hi there, I'm currently working on an isometric game, took me a while to figure out using tilemaps with it. I basically create the "always behind" game layout (floors and walls) in Photoshop using a isometric grid image as a background and turning on "show grid" set at 64px with 32px intervals.

Then the tricky bit which takes a lot of trial and error is selecting a vertical slice say 128px wide that can repeat. It's probably best if I send you examples but I'm away from my laptop at the mo. Feel free to message.
