TileMapCollisionManager

Name-based collision layer management for TileMap in Godot 4.x. TileMap.set_layer_enabled() takes a layer index — a raw integer. Your layers have names. Every time you restructure your TileMap, those indices shift silently and your collision code breaks with no error messages. You are manually maintaining a number-to-name mapping in your head. This script builds a name-to-index cache at startup and exposes a clean string-based API. Write set_collision_enabled_by_name("Ground", true) instead of set_layer_enabled(2, true). Your code survives TileMap restructuring because it never references indices directly. Features: - Name-to-index cache built automatically on ready - set_collision_enabled_by_name() for single layer control - refresh_layer_cache() to rebuild after runtime structural changes - Inspector-configured initial collision state on scene load - Duplicate layer name detection with warnings - Debug layer map printing via Inspector toggle - Zero dependencies — works in a blank project Attach TileMapCollisionManager.gd to your TileMap node. It replaces TileMap as the base class. Set initial_enabled_layers in the Inspector. Done. Godot 4.x only. GDScript 2.0. Extended version with batch methods, global toggles, and state snapshot serialization available at nullstateassets.itch.io.
