Don't clear entities when calling set_tiles

[Sirenfal]

I have several placable-off-grid entities placed by script, and if I set tiles under them they're deleted. Right now I'm going to just move those entities away and put them back after calling set_tiles, but it'd be nice to have a flag to disable this behavior

[Rseding91]

Entities are cleared only if they collide with the tile: putting water under a building for instance will delete the building.

If you don't want your entities to be deleted don't make them collide with the tile type you're putting under them.

[Sirenfal]

They have to collide because they're placed by a script in a location where players shouldn't be able to place buildings.

You could move them away, set the tile, then move them back.

That is exactly what I did

Thanks anyway <3
