How could I accomplish a placement system with grid size over 1x1?
Here's kind of what I'm looking to do:
I know I can use:
math.floor() and math.ceil() to round up and down. I also know I can create a rounding function:
local function round(number)
return math.floor(number + 0.5) -- Rounds to the nearest whole number
end
I would like to know how I could accomplish this with a grid size over 1x1. Thanks!

There are two options. You could either have it detect the mouse position which would check the nearest place for a tile, or you could have tiles and use mouse.Target. MrLonely1221 701 — 7y

Divide mouse pos by grid, add 0.5, round, and mutiply by grid (after rounding). zblox164 531 — 5y

Simple solution!
*Divide mouse position by grid, add 0.5, round either up or down, and mutiply by grid (after rounding). You should be using a LocalScriptfor this.
Example:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Part= workspace.Part
local PosX, PosY, PosZ -- We will set these later
local function Round(GridSize)
PosX = math.floor(mouse.Hit.X / GridSize + 0.5) * GridSize -- Snaps
PosY = 0.5
PosZ = math.floor(mouse.Hit.Z / GridSize + 0.5) * GridSize -- Snaps
end
local function Movement()
mouse.TargetFilter = Part -- Ignores the model
Round(2) -- Pass your grid size as an argument
Part.Position = Vector3.new(PosX, PosY, PosZ) -- Positions
end
mouse.Move:Connect(Movement)
I KNOW I know that this is a year old but I just had to answer this. Hope this helps... if you see this.

I accepted your answer a year later :) I hope you know I eventually did create an extremely smooth grid system soon after asking this question AstrealDev 728 — 3y
