Object Assignment

The NSliceLayoutGroup allows you to assign child game objects to specific tiles in your grid layout using multiple methods.

Drag & Drop from Hierarchy

Single Object Assignment

1. Select a child game object in the Hierarchy window
2. Drag it onto a tile in the Inspector (NSliceLayoutGroup component)
3. The object will be assigned to that specific tile
4. The tile will turn green to indicate it contains an assigned object

Multiple Tile Assignment

1. Hold Shift while dragging across multiple tiles in the Inspector
2. Release to select multiple tiles
3. Choose a child object from the selection prompt
4. The selected object will be assigned to all selected tiles

Moving Assigned Objects

Tile-to-Tile Movement

Once an object is assigned to a tile (green tile):

1. Drag the green tile in the Inspector
2. Drop it onto an empty tile
3. The object assignment will move to the new location
4. The original tile becomes empty, and the target tile turns green
