In the last tutorial on Isometric Maps, we create a TileSet and TileMap. This tileset system, combined with the tileset editor is very powerful in Godot. However, it has its limitation and those limitations are very clear in isometric maps. YSort is one of the most powerful 2d nodes in Godot. It will help you draw your art on the fly, creating a world in which projectiles, bullets, enemies and players can walk, run and fly behind and in front of walls, barrels, closets, and more.
