How to make my Placement System Script align the furniture with the plot in a Grid System and stay aligned

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

  1. I want my script to make it so when players build, their furniture is aligned in a grid to make it easier to build.

  2. What’s happening is that the furniture isn’t moving by the grid size of two along the plot part. It aligns at the orientation of (0, 0, 0) . The plot’s orientation is (0, 140, 0) and I don’t want to make the plot orientation (0, 0, 0) I want the grid to go along with the orientation of the plot.

  3. I have tried to rewrite the script multiple times. The outcome is the same when I used CFrame and now Vector3.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local BuildPro = false
local OnPlot = false

local BuildUi = script.Parent.FHOS.Frame.BuildFrame

local MarketPlaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	local hasPass = false
	
	local success, message = pcall(function()
		hasPass = MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId, 11321181)
	end)
	if not success then
		warn("Error while checking if player has pass: " .. tostring(message))
		return
	end
	if hasPass == true then
		BuildPro = true
	end
end)

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Grid = 2
local Rot = 0

local PosX
local PosY
local PosZ
local Plot
local PlotO
local PlotX
local PlotY
local PlotZ
local Object

local GivenPlot = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuildEvents.GivenPlot
local PlaceObject = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuildEvents.PlaceObject
GivenPlot.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plt)
	Plot = plt
	PlotO = plt.Orientation
	PlotX = PlotO.X
	PlotY = PlotO.Y
	PlotZ = PlotO.Z
end)

Plot.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if plr then
		OnPlot = true
	end
end)

local CanStart = true
local Placing = nil
local CanPlace = nil
local MoveObject = false
local CanPlace
local BuildMode = Instance.new("BoolValue")
BuildMode.Parent = Player
BuildMode = false
BuildSelection = BuildUi.ScrollingFrame
Soil = BuildSelection.SoilSelect.ImageButton

script.Parent.FHOS.Frame.Frame.BuildModeApp.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.FHOS.Frame.Frame.Visible = false
	script.Parent.FHOS.Frame.FhBrand.Visible = false
	script.Parent.FHOS.Frame.Power.Visible = false
	script.Parent.FHOS.Frame.Time.Visible = false
	script.Parent.FHOS.Frame.Network.Visible = false
	script.Parent.FHOS.Frame.Battery.Visible = false
	script.Parent.FHOS:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.105, 0,0.485, 0), "Out", "Linear", 1, false, nil)
	while script.Parent.FHOS.Rotation > -90 do
		script.Parent.FHOS.Rotation = script.Parent.FHOS.Rotation - 1
		wait()
	end
	BuildMode = true
	if BuildMode == true and OnPlot == true or BuildPro == true then
		Camera.CameraSubject = Plot
	end
end)

local function SnapToGrid()
	PosX, PosY, PosZ = math.floor(Mouse.Hit.X / Grid + .5) * Grid, math.floor(Mouse.Hit.Y / Grid + 1) * Grid, math.floor(Mouse.Hit.Z / Grid + .5) * Grid
end

local function MouseMoved()
	Object.PrimaryPart.Position = Vector3.new(PosX, PosY, PosZ)
	SnapToGrid()
end

local function CloneService(Obj)
	Object = game.ReplicatedStorage.BuildObjects:FindFirstChild(Obj):Clone()
	Object.Parent = Plot
	
	Object.PrimaryPart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, PlotY, 0)
	Mouse.Move:Connect(MouseMoved)
end

Soil.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	CloneService("Soil")
end)

If you prefer to create a more complex, yet flexible grid placement system, I suggest reading this post: Creating A Furniture Placement System

It answers both of your questions: It snaps to grid based on the orientation of the plot :slight_smile:
