Hey there, look into making a grid placement system. There’s a real good tutorial by one of the G.O.A.T’s @EgoMoose. He had a tutorial on making a furniture placement system, which is basically exactly what you want (plus I guarantee it works cause I’ve used it before).

This guide was originally written for scriptinghelpers . The original can be found here . One of the most common requests I get for blog post topics are for a decoration placement system that saves. I’ve shied away from this topic in the past as there is no singular “correct” way to do it. That being said, I think it’s a good exercise for all game devs to go through and will potentially place a role in a future blog post I plan to write. In addition to change things up, I’ll also take the ti…

And depending on how you want it, you might need server replication meaning remote events.
