Tilemap doesn't update before call to Navigation2D.get_simple_path()

Hi,

I have a Navigation2D node with two tilemap childs, tileMap and tileMap_Selection.

The idea was to try and find the shortest path from one tile to another, the tileMap doesn’t have any navigation2D_polygon so I set all the tiles in tileMap_Selection to a tile which has a navigation2D_polygon.

If i set all tiles and then straight away ask for a path from one tile to another the resulting list of points is empty but if I wait for 0.1 seconds the list contains all points.

On the parent Navigation2D i have a script which has the following code:

func findTiles():
	var potentialTiles = tileMap.get_used_cells()
	for tile in potentialTiles:
		tileMap_selection.set_cellv(tile, 1)
	#yield(get_tree().create_timer(0.1), "timeout")
	print(get_simple_path(tileMap_selection.map_to_world(potentialTiles[0]), tileMap_selection.map_to_world(potentialTiles[1]), false))

with yield(get_tree().create_timer(0.1), "timeout") commented the output is [] whereas if it is uncommented the output is: [(4284, -88), (4391.5, 67.5), (4533, 126), (4536, 44)]

Is there a better was than to use yield(get_tree().create_timer(0.1), "timeout") in order for the get_simple_path function to use the updated tileMap_selection ?

Thanks a lot for any help you can provide,

try calling update_dirty_quadrants ( )on your tilemap instead of your yield
