Now, I’m using code from this forum. Note that I have literally no clue how any of it actually works. But basically, the original code from the forum mentioned only makes triangles. So with small edits, I managed to figure out how to make so it can do multiple points, but it didn’t turn out how I wanted.
local Points = {}
local Color = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
local Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
local Align = "Center"
local Thickness = 0.1
local Tris = {}
function spawnTrianglePart(col,mat)
local P = Instance.new("WedgePart")
P.Anchored = true
P.Parent = workspace
P.BrickColor = col
P.Material = mat
P.FrontSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.SmoothNoOutlines
P.BackSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.SmoothNoOutlines
P.LeftSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.SmoothNoOutlines
P.RightSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.SmoothNoOutlines
P.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.SmoothNoOutlines
P.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.SmoothNoOutlines
return P
end
function drawTriangle(a,b,c,n,ad)
local len_AB = (b - a).magnitude
local len_BC = (c - b).magnitude
local len_CA = (a - c).magnitude
if (len_AB > len_BC) and (len_AB > len_CA) then
a,c = c,a
b,c = c,b
elseif (len_CA > len_AB) and (len_CA > len_BC) then
a,b = b,a
b,c = c,b
end
local dot = (a - b):Dot(c - b)
local split = b + (c-b).unit*dot/(c - b).magnitude
local xA = ad[3]
local yA = (split - a).magnitude

Please note that I have read every article on this around the DevForums, plus numerous other articles online.

What I currently have
As you can seen, my version is very ‘clunky’ and creates really weird shapes. I kind of know why it’s happening (basically I create a triangle after 3 nodes, and each node after just creates another triangle from the new node + previous 2 placed nodes) But I don’t know how to fix it
