I’m trying to incorporate the surface normal returned from a ray, so a part will actually go along the sides of blocks, but I don’t know how.
-- Get the mouses target
local function GetMouseTarget()
local CursorPosition = UserInputService:GetMouseLocation()
local CameraRay = Camera:ViewportPointToRay(CursorPosition.X, CursorPosition.Y, 0)
local DrawnRay = Ray.new(Camera.CFrame.Position,(CameraRay.Direction * 1000))
return workspace:FindPartOnRayWithWhitelist(DrawnRay, {PlayersIsland.Blocks})
end
-- Snap to grid
local function Snap(position)
local x = math.floor(position.X / GridLock + 0.5) * GridLock
local y = (math.floor(position.Y / GridLock + 0.5) * GridLock) + (GridLock / 2) -- Add 1/2 of the GridLock to adjust for ground position
local z = math.floor(position.Z / GridLock + 0.5) * GridLock
return Vector3.new(x, y, z)
end
-- Move item
local function MoveModel()
if not CurrentItem then return end
-- Get mouse location
local Part, Position, Normal = GetMouseTarget()
if not Part then return end
-- Snap returned position to grid
local RoundedPos = Snap(Position)
CurrentItem:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(RoundedPos))
end
This code currently does this, and it works on 2 of the sides of the ground
But other sides, it doesn’t, either the block disappears, or is placed on top
Both times my mouse is on the side of the ground.
I tried
CurrentItem:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(RoundedPos, Normal))
But that ended up giving the part like a 45 degree rotation
