Moving Grid System

[shipmaster2410 (Shipy)]

I am trying to make a Cruise Ship building game with free placement and larger ships than “Cruise Ship Tycoon”, but I’m stumped on the grid system. I made a functioning 2 stud grid system but when the ship moves, everything would become offset. If the ship moves half a stud the grid system will not work because nothing will be lined up. How would I go about making a Grid System that is relative to the moving ship. I’ve been coding roblox games for almost 5 years now and I still can’t figure this out. I just need an outline to go a about doing it, I can probably right the code

Any help would be apricated!

After that you might be able to use GridPlacer. Of course I could assist you if you wanted to use it.

GridPlacer: Highly-featured module for part placement, rotation, and snapping to grid

Grid Placer In many Roblox games there is a need to give the player a tool for placing objects such as buildings, units, furniture, or voxels. There are many tutorials for how to get the 3D position of the player’s mouse and directly place an object at this point. This is sometimes enough for a purely uniform grid-based building system similar to Minecraft. Usually however, there are several features the developer wants that are much more difficult to implement, such as: Alignment of the plac…

I did some more research and realized all I had to do was multiply my CFrame by the local axis parts rotation and I’d be fine. Thanks for the help though!
