Generating Trees/Rocks, etc. on a grid? [closed]
I'm making a game like Clash of Clans, and I need somewhere to start on the map generating aspect of it. So basically, I have rocks and trees built, they need to be on a grid (of 5 by 5 bricks). I'm just looking for feedback on how I would generate the items on the grid.
I just need some advice on how'd I would do that, I'm not requesting, don't get me wrong, I just need help on how I could make this, all I need is to know how to generate something on a grid.
No, I don't have any example code, as I said I need somewhere to start.

This is interesting idea as I haven't really seen much of this done on roblox my thinking would be is to make a bunch of 5x5 parts and then store their positions within a table
using
table.insert
and then pick a random position from that table to place a tree at btw if you are moving a model doing
local model = game.Lighting.MODELNAME -- this would be a tree or rock
local table = {} -- create a empty table
local children = workspace:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #children do
if children[i].Name == node then
print(i, children[i].Position)
table.insert(children[i].Position)
else
end
local chosenposition = table[math.random(1, #table)] -- pick random position from the table
local c = model:Clone() -- copy the model
c.Parent = game.Workspace -- move the copied model to the workspace
c:Move(vector3.new(chosenposition)) -- move the model to the position of the part
table.remove(table, chosenposition)
I think that's roughly how it would work hope it helps :)
