I have created a TileSet with editor UI, with 4 Atlas Tiles. I have a Script that inherits Node2D (but that’s not enforced).

I want to draw a single tile from one of four Atlas Tiles. How would I do this, other than taking a texture tile_get_texture, then getting tile boundaries tile_get_region, autotile_get_size, tile_get_texture_offset, and then somehow (with Sprite or the TextureRect) cropping the texture with the boundaries?

You are trying to do it by code, maybe you can use the built tileset editor?

  1. I am already using a tileset editor to cut a texture into the tiles. I now need to extract those tiles from the tileset.
  2. I am implementing a procedural generation algorithm, so I don’t think I can use an editor UI for that.

Okay, what about this one?
