To replace all instances of a specific tile in Tiled, you'll need to perform this operation on each layer individually using Tiled's built-in tools.
Here's the step-by-step process:
-
Select the target layer: In the Layers panel, select the layer containing the tiles you want to replace.
-
Use the Select Same Tile tool: Choose the Select Same Tile tool from the toolbar. This tool is crucial for quickly selecting all instances of the tile you wish to change.
-
Select the tile to replace: Click on any instance of the tile you want to replace within the selected layer. The Select Same Tile tool will automatically select all identical tiles on that layer.
-
Use the Bucket Fill Tool with Shift: Select the Bucket Fill Tool from the toolbar. Then, while holding down the Shift key, click anywhere within the selected area (i.e., on one of the highlighted tiles).
-
Choose the replacement tile: The Bucket Fill Tool with the Shift key held down tells Tiled to replace the existing selected tiles with the currently selected tile in your tileset. Make sure you have the new tile you want to use selected in the Tileset panel before using the bucket fill tool.
-
Repeat for other layers: If the tile you want to replace also appears on other layers, repeat steps 1-5 for each of those layers.
In summary, the core process involves selecting all instances of the target tile on a layer and then using the bucket fill tool in replace mode (by holding Shift) to replace them with a new tile. This must be done per layer.
