Question about placement system

[Revlayz]

Quick and simple

Is it possible to fill these inner corners, if so, how?

Wall corners fix?

Let’s say that you have two walls: [image] We extract vector a and vector b. Now calculate the angle between them local theta = math.acos(a.unit:Dot(b.unit)); Now let’s say that the thickness of the wall is X. We calculate how much do we have to resize the wall in the direction the walls collide: local add = X * math.tan(math.pi/2 - theta/2); if theta <= math.pi / 2 then add = -add; end add = add/2; ‘add’ is how longer the both walls have to be in the collision spot.

The problem is, how am I gonna find a corner like that?

[Kacper]

It depends on your implementation and whatever generates these walls. The second solution (works only if your walls join at 90* angle) is to get the width of one wall and the witdh of the second. Let’s call them x and z. Also get the height of the wall: y. Now create a part of size (x, y, z) and put it where the walls join.

You can also resize one of the walls in that situation to be longer depending on the calculations we did before.

I think you can add a block as a corner in your placement system. Many games added that.

I want it automated. I think its way better that way for my game

You can store the information about the wall placement somewhere in a table (I assume that you will want to save them to datastore anyways so it will be helpful in that too). Now when a new wall is added or a wall is removed you will have to check all the connections with that wall.
