Setting up Isometric Grid

[LukeMarkBrady]

hey all, im trying to set up the basics for a Isometric game thats will be grid based. Ive currently got a setup with a square grid as shown,

but im trying to get the right math to set up a diamond shaped one but so far i cant get the offset right

( I realise i could just position the camera right and go orthographic to get the same look, however im looking to make assets like these https://mobilegamegraphics.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Assets2final-1920.jpg )

split your TileSize into TileSizeX and TileSizeY.

every odd row, add half of TileSizeX to the X location of each tile in that row.

to calculate if the Index is within an odd row, you can divide the index by the GridSize, then modulus by 2.
