[SOLVED]Tile Pencil not drawing. Only rectangle selecting.

Hi

I have a tilemap selected and pick a tile to draw onto my layout with. I'm using the pencil tool, but whenever I left click and drag, I'm only rectangle-selecting. What's wrong?

pencil tool? C2 doesn't have a pencil tool.

The tilemap does have a pencil tool.

Could it be because the layer the tilemap is on is currently locked ?

I stand corrected.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't see anything in the properties section that says it's locked.

How do I lock/unlock a tilemap?

The layer I'm trying to work on isn't locked.

-edit-

I see the property in the property panel and the tilemap editor. The layer is not locked. However, the background is locked. If I unlock the background (layer 0) I can draw. But I cannot seem to draw on Layer 1.

Are you sure your tilemap isn't bound to the background layer (layer 0) ?

I just fiddled with layers and its "locked" property along with a tilemap, switching from the locked one to the other... and I get the "rectangle selection" thing only if I'm trying to "paint" on a tilemap that is on a locked layer.

Try toggling between arrow tool and pencil.

Click arrow tool, drag Tilemap, press CTRL+Z, select Pencil and start drawing.

AH!

There's a "layer" property in the actual tilemap! It was set to background just like you thought. Thanks for the help guys!!
