3 years ago, someone asked this:

https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/rotatemirror-tile-tile-brush-173593

Was there any update to that? It seems obvious that something like that is a useful feature, and I can't quite understand why it's not possible. I can only assume I'm missing something.

Say I have this tilemap. I only want half tiles to line a corridor. At the moment, I can only line the top and left walls. The right and bottom tiles would come away from the walls.

This could be fixed with a simple flip or rotate state... but when I try to do that, it becomes the tile in the top left.

Can anyone tell me why after 3 years, such a simple addition hasn't been made?

The rotation and display of tiles that were asked about 3 years ago have long been implemented. If you don't follow the engine updates, you can at least look at it in Construct 3 itself.

But why do I hear some kind of a claim in your question? Hey guys, get up and report to me quickly!

Do you think this is the tone that motivates engine developers who often answer such questions?
