Fill tool not working properly for Hexagonal maps

[rafaelvcaetano]

When using the fill tool on hexagonal maps where two tiles are only connected to each other non-horizontally (when offsetting odd rows), not all tiles are detected.

Here is an example:

Selected tiles are the ones in turquoise. The selection should extend to the tiles below.

You're right of course, but this one is a little tricky to solve due to the neighbors being different than with a standard orthogonal or isometric tile grid.

Please consider supporting me financially. As it is now I would never get around to fixing such issues.

Hi! I ran into this, too. I've been a Tiled supporter on Patreon for just a few months. My interest in Tiled currently is its Hex Map support. I recognize that my small monthly contribution may not justify big chunks of work, bug please consider this a vote for a fix to this bug and improved support for hex maps in general. Thanks!

@gostay I really appreciate your support and will definitely look into a solution for this! Also, do let me know what else you think should be improved about the support for hex maps.

Turned out this wasn't that hard to fix for hexagonal maps. It did make the code a lot larger, but its basic workings could stay the same. :-)

Unfortunately, the same isn't the case for staggered isometric maps. They are now better supported as well, but a problem remains in that diagonal neighbors are considered connected (though, that's a valid filling mode I guess, it's just not consistent with the behavior for orthogonal maps).
