How should I go around making a building system like rust?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I want to create a building system like Rust/Lost/Astray/Rovive

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

I am making a build system where you can freely build but if you bring a part close to another part it snaps on. I have the part that you can freely build but can’t think of a way to make it so if it is close to another part it snaps on.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I’ve thought of a couple of ways that didn’t really work but besides that nothing. I can’t think of anyway to do this.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Quick Summary:
I’m trying to make a building system where you can place the part wherever but when It gets close to another part it snaps on like rust. I got the part where you can freely place it but I can’t think of a way to make it so another part can snap on to an already placed part if it gets close enough. I don’t want code just want a concept so I can go off that and try to do what I’m trying to. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25y0p42J-Ac

There are tutorials on build placement systems.

Use the search bar and actually try things out before you post a topic.

I have I made a system where you can freely place but I want a system where if I move the part close enough to another part it snaps with the other part non of those videos show that type of system.

There are tutorials out there that showcase that, you’re just not looking in the right places.

Yeah, they showcase it not teach. I know that I can do what I’m trying to do by shooting a ray from the cursor see what it hits if its a part then snap to it but I don’t know how to tell which side the user wants the part to go on.

I solved this by using attachments

This is completely unnecessary. When somebody on the platform asks for help, you must assume that they have tried everything in their power. You linked 3 videos and each of which poorly explain the code, if even. When you link external sources, be mindful of the content that you are providing for others in need of help.

Your game is really nice the way the building system works but I have already created something similar I just need to fix it up a bit.
