Issue with placement system using normal vector

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

this means they might not be anchoring properly before placement, meaning they will move slightly

#22

They are anchored themselves and I’m not unanchoring,

#23

if its rounding and placing on a 333 grid they should all line up. whether theres blocks there or not. unless you are not placing it with cframe or position

#24

so you are rounding the mouses position to the nearest multiple of 3, so it should be exactly 3 from the point next to it

if your getting something else then somethings not quite right

#25

That’s the thing, it is exactly 3 from the point next to it!

#26

Also noticed, it is only happening on the - axis. -x, -y, -z

#27

are you still doing +0.5?

if so that might be it
it has to be -0.5 on the - axis

#28

I’m still doing that. How would I check via code on what axis it is?

#29

that +0.5 is for if it is rounding up. so when we are in the negatives its the opposite.
so
if X < 0 then
-0.5

#30

I’ll try it out! Thanks for taking your time again!

#31

I made a grid thing for the lolz, its trippy

local StartPoint = Vector3.new(90,-18,-90)
local XStartPoint = StartPoint
local YStartPoint = StartPoint
local ZStartPoint = StartPoint

for i = 1,10 do
XStartPoint = XStartPoint + Vector3.new(3,0,0)

YStartPoint = XStartPoint
for i = 1,10 do
	YStartPoint = YStartPoint + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
	ZStartPoint = YStartPoint
	for i = 1,10 do
		local NewP = Instance.new("Part")
		NewP.Anchored = true
		NewP.CanCollide = false
		NewP.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.5,0.5)
		NewP.Parent = game.Workspace.Debris
		NewP.Position = ZStartPoint
		NewP.Color = Color3.new(0,100,0)
		
		ZStartPoint = ZStartPoint + Vector3.new(0,0,3)
	end
end

end

#32

Where are you using that for? I dont know what you want to do with that

#33

Trying the adding or removing 0.5 depending on the axis didnt work either by the way

#34

Still looking for a solution. Anyone got an idea?

#35

I answered a similar question before that you might enjoy:
