My own Grid thing is a little odd how do i fix it?

Asked 393 views1 answers

Im Trying to make a custom grid placement system without the use of the tutorials that i dont understand and to see if I can simplify it so, 

--The script is small

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local Grid = game.Workspace.Grid
local GridSize = .5

local Marker = game.Workspace.Marker

local PosX = Marker.CFrame.X
local PosY = Marker.CFrame.Y
local PosZ = Marker.CFrame.Z

mouse.Move:Connect(function()
    if mouse.Target == Grid then
	    mouse.TargetFilter = game.Workspace.Marker
Marker.Position = Vector3.new(math.floor(mouse.Hit.X / GridSize + .05), mouse.Hit.Y, math.floor(mouse.Hit.Z / GridSize + .05))
    end
end)

So Here is the Grid issue The marker goes off the actual grid how does one prevent that

I think you've messed up the math.floor(mouse.Hit.X / GridSize + .05) and math.floor(mouse.Hit.Z / GridSize + .05) lines. Test with this instead: Vector3.new(math.floor(mouse.Hit.X - GridSize), mouse.Hit.Y, math.floor(mouse.Hit.Z - GridSize))

The problem with the marker being far away from the mouse is simple! Try the script below. Now, if your trying to make the marker stay in the plot/grid, then you should either use region3 or detect when the object is at the edge. I could not figure out which problem was yours based off the video given. Anyway, try the code below to fix the one problem.

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

  

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local mouse = player:GetMouse()

  

local marker = game.Workspace.Marker
local grid = game.Workspace.Grid

local gridSize = 0.5
local yPos = 2

local positions = {}

local function CalcMousePos()
    -- I am using an array of positions so I can easily access them later
    
    positions = {
		["x"] = math.floor(mouse.Hit.X / gridSize + 0.5) * gridSize;
	    ["z"] = math.floor(mouse.Hit.Z / gridSize + 0.5) * gridSize
    }
end

-- Moves the marker
local function MoveMarker()
    mouse.TargetFilter = marker
	marker.CFrame = CFrame.new(positions.x, yPos, positions.z)
end

-- Updates every rendered frame

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    CalcMousePos()
    
    MoveMarker()
end)
