2 years ago Figured out how to get what I need. Despite all tiled map objects having a Type parameter, the TiledMapTileObject does not populate that parameter with the tile's Type. I just have to check if the obtained object is a TiledMapTileObject, cast it as one, and then check the type of it's associated tile
When checking every object in a tilemap, getting the "Type" property of shape objects like rectangles works. However, if you try to get the Type property of a tile object, it gives you an empty string.
