Room borders

[cameronp]

Just a quick question.
I want to put a small border around my inside room created maps to give the impression of tops of walls, so the room just doesn't end into the blackness.  I guess kind of like wall edging.  Any ideas?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Well, there is that premade autotile that does that, just look in the top row of your tileset (if you still can't find them they are named 053-Wall01 and 054-Wall02). All professional use these things, so that everything outside the room is black if that's what you mean.

Thanks a lot, however I see the the tiles under auto tiles selection 054 wall 02 but I dont see them in the main tileset window.  How do I select them for use?

Auto tiles are usually found in the first row of the tilset. All you will usually see is  a square with a black center and the border around it, what I recomend is select that one (may need to play around to find right auto tile) and use the fill tool, your whole room should turn black. then use floor tiles and the back wall tiles to build your room, and the border should show up as you build. Hope this helps a little :thumb:

Thanks I will try it.  I always wondered what that weird looking tile was. LOL.
I really appreciate the help.
