Howdy,
I’m working on an orthographic dungeon crawler that semi-procedurally-generated maps to diversify player experience. I was inspired to use tilesets by popular games such as Warframe, where players will eventually grasp the ins-and-outs of certain tiles, rather than having a 100% generated map where they have to essentially re-learn map configurations for each play session.
As of now, I’m using 64x64 tiles that have x number of Attachment instances that represent each possible entrance/exit. I’m beginning with one ‘origin’ tile that acts as the beginning for all other paths to branch out. This is where I run into a problem; (attached is an annotated screenshot of two of the tiles i have built; the attachments are represented by the orange boxes)
- Let’s say that Tile 1 is the origin tile where players will spawn. When it is selected, it is cloned from ReplicatedStorage and into the workspace, and rotate its primary part between 0 and 360 degrees in 90-degree increments. When this is done, it will randomly select another tile, which is Tile 2. Although the paths line up, let’s say that Tile 1 is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise so that a connection cannot be made between the two tiles. How will I be able to position and orient Tile 2 so that a clear connection/path can be made between the two tiles?
In short, I want to know how I can translate and rotate a model/model’s PrimaryPart in relation to the CFrame of it’s attachment, and in turn snap that attachment to another attachment of another tile.
Sorry for my wording; I really don’t know how to articulate this question well.
