Getting neighbours from the Tilemap in Unity
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
I am using the hexagonal tilemap and am trying to store data on each tile; localPos, worldPos, name, etc. and one of the things I'm trying to access are the immediate neighbours from each side.
I have begun by using the scripts here to get started:
https://medium.com/@allencoded/unity-tilemaps-and-storing-individual-tile-data-8b95d87e9f32
But I cannot find any information about storing neighbours. I am assuming it may have something to do with BoundsInt or cellBounds but am not sure and the docs are currently limited.
One thing I have tried to do is create gameobjects using the world position and this places them where they are supposed to be, but I think I may be overcomplicating it.
Has anyone else had any luck with this?

If the article above is being followed, perhaps make another function that is invoked by each object will do it. Have the function store either the GameObjects or the positions themselves inside the current "anchor" tile inside some data structure of your choice. While this may be more cumbersome, it will allow more flexibility.
TL;DR
To GameTile add another data structure for stored neighbors. Then either create a private function to instantiate the neighbors or just outright create them at the tracked x and y position. Then store the instantiated neighbors into the data structure.
