Is your feature request related to a problem?

I can't find any good overview of how tilemap parameters work in collision functions.

The official video that explains it, for example, tells me I have to make sure to not disable the sprite export on tilesets, but what about tilemaps with no tileset attached? So pure data, generated during runtime

The docs don't really talk about this, or the details of using tilemaps in collision functions in general (What values are the functions looking for, exactly? etc.)

It'd be nice to have a place I can go to to answer all of my questions surrounding it

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to get a dedicated page in the documentation for this topic.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Tried to look for forum posts, official blog posts about this

Additional context

Little update on this;
I have since found out that the Collisions page in the docs does mention tilemap collisions, but it doesn't really mention how the tilemap needs to have a tileset with a sprite attached, and "pure data" tilemaps will silently return false every time.

It'd be nice if non-sprite tilemaps could work in collisions checks too, but that's a different feature request, I think
