		Node for 2D tile-based maps. Tilemaps use a [TileSet] which contain a list of tiles which are used to create grid-based maps. A TileMap may have several layers, layouting tiles on top of each other.

		<method name="_tile_data_runtime_update" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="layer" type="int" />
			<param index="1" name="coords" type="Vector2i" />
			<param index="2" name="tile_data" type="TileData" />
			<description>
				Called with a TileData object about to be used internally by the TileMap, allowing its modification at runtime.
				This method is only called if [method _use_tile_data_runtime_update] is implemented and returns [code]true[/code] for the given tile [param coords] and [param layer].
				[b]Warning:[/b] The [param tile_data] object's sub-resources are the same as the one in the TileSet. Modifying them might impact the whole TileSet. Instead, make sure to duplicate those resources.
				[b]Note:[/b] If the properties of [param tile_data] object should change over time, use [method force_update] to trigger a TileMap update.

		<method name="_use_tile_data_runtime_update" qualifiers="virtual">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="layer" type="int" />

			<description>
				Should return [code]true[/code] if the tile at coordinates [param coords] on layer [param layer] requires a runtime update.
				[b]Warning:[/b] Make sure this function only return [code]true[/code] when needed. Any tile processed at runtime without a need for it will imply a significant performance penalty.

			<description>
				Triggers an update of the TileMap. If [param layer] is provided, only updates the given layer.
				[b]Note:[/b] The TileMap node updates automatically when one of its properties is modified. A manual update is only needed if runtime modifications (implemented in [method _tile_data_runtime_update]) need to be applied.
				[b]Warning:[/b] Updating the TileMap is computationally expensive and may impact performance. Try to limit the number of updates and the tiles they impact (by placing frequently updated tiles in a dedicated layer for example).

			<description>
				Update all the cells in the [param path] coordinates array so that they use the given [param terrain] for the given [param terrain_set]. The function will also connect two successive cell in the path with the same terrain. This function might update neighboring tiles if needed to create correct terrain transitions.
				If [param ignore_empty_terrains] is true, empty terrains will be ignored when trying to find the best fitting tile for the given terrain constraints.
				[b]Note:[/b] To work correctly, [code]set_cells_terrain_path[/code] requires the TileMap's TileSet to have terrains set up with all required terrain combinations. Otherwise, it may produce unexpected results.

			<description>
				Enables or disables a layer's Y-sorting. If a layer is Y-sorted, the layer will behave as a CanvasItem node where each of its tile gets Y-sorted.
				Y-sorted layers should usually be on different Z-index values than not Y-sorted layers, otherwise, each of those layer will be Y-sorted as whole with the Y-sorted one. This is usually an undesired behvaior.

			<description>
				Sets a layer's Y-sort origin value. This Y-sort origin value is added to each tile's Y-sort origin value.
