Changing individual tiles during runtime

DoubleA

Is there a way to change specific tiles in a tilemap when the game is running when an event happens like when a signal is triggered?

DoubleA In godot 3.5 look at the set_cellv() function and it's input parameters. Setting the first parameter to -1 clears the tile. The integer relates to the tiles available in the tilemap in the order they are shown in the inspector when painting tiles in the editor.

Erich_L I'm using Godot 4.0, would the process be any different?

It's set_cell() in v4

If you right click your TileMap node you can also just hit Open Documentation. You'll often find a function that can do something that's close to what you want.
