Hi. I'm just starting to learn godot 4, (with a seasoned programmer background). I followed a good tutorial on 2d tilemap based platformer ("Platformer Game Quick Start Guide for Godot 4 Beta" on "Chris' Tutorials".

Now I would like to be able to know when the player passes over a special tile (lets say a ladder) in order to change the player behaviour accordingly (lets say cancel gravity, setup a climbing anim, and go up on UP key), but have not clue about how to access this information.

I guess It could involve setting a property on the ladders tile in the tileset, and then access some kind of hover event or an ad-hoc triggered hovering property, but again, I have no clue where to start, being totally new to godots programing paradigm.

Any idea ? Thanks !

I can get the tile num correponding to the character body position using

@onready var character_body = get_node(".")
...
var cell = tilemap.local_to_map(character_body.position)
var tile_id = tilemap.get_cell_source_id(0,cell)

(is that the correct way ?)

But I still can't find the way to add a custom property to a tile in a tileset. I'm sure it is possible but I can't find how. Thanks.
