There are some comments left throughout the project but nothing is heavily documented.

A main goal of this project is showing a little bit on how these libraries can be used and showing the separation of objects and data.



TODO

Removing objects from the plot

Throttle replicating objects


This project is intended to be a resource to learn from. I do not recommend building a game using this as a template.

Do point out anything that I could have done differently.

I love this, I saw it on waywoc, can’t wait to see more of your work!

This looks awesome, can you tell me the basics of this? I am not quite and advanced scripter, I can make a placement system, but not with grids.

Each Grid has X * Y number of Cells. Each Cell can hold something called a CellObject The CellObject contains the value that is in that Cell, whether it is a value or object.

Grid > Cell > CellObject > Any value or physical object in workspace.

How many cells an object takes up. The lamp is 1x1, the table is 2x1, and the tree is 3x3.

Oh, thanks, that makes more sense. I was just confused because it was a Vector2 and not a Vector3.

How would I change how far objects snap?

I changed the 4 to 10 and it completely broke. I changed the sizes of the plots to a multiple of 10, and that didn’t work either.

just resize them with the resize tool? it worked for me

Simply changing the grid size should do it. Can you describe what is happening when you change the grid size?

I have no clue on how I didn’t see the PlotConfig script until now. Before I was trying to change it in the build modules.

PlotConfig was just added.

Instead of changing the cell size in 2 different places, there is only one place to change.
