Yes!

I’m trying to make it as simple and seamless possible to set it up with no extra steps

More Features I’ve Created/ WIP :warning:

Datastore Integration

It will support plot saving for players right out of the box, and load them when you set a players plot, still working on like the actual saving buildins but the backbone of it is integrated into the placement system!

self:SetOwner(player : Player)

Basically this a function you’ll be able to call onto a new Placement class object, that will set the owner based on who the player has passed, and it’ll automatically check if the player has already claimed already aswell

Rotation and Dimension Flipping

When you rotate an object on the grid it won’t only rotate the currently piece your building with 90 degrees, but it will also flip the size dimensions relative to the grid; so you get some accurate nice rotation!

I’m starting to actually work on the client sided functions for building right now so things like, EnteringBuildMode, ExitingBuildMode, Rotating, ChangingBuildingPiece

Just some basic functions youll be able to pull from the module and use anywhere you would like to, were making great progress so far!

Sounds very nice, can you maybe explain “Self:SetOwner(player : player)” a bit more? is it a command or a function in a script? just want to know
its nice to see that i gave you an idea, and i hope you are having fun to create it :slight_smile:
