Snapping to grid wall object

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I recently made a post (very recently) but now I want to snap it to a grid but it just makes half of the object out of the wall (and I want part A in the middle X of part B)

But the grid just makes it go out the half of the grid

This It’s my current code

    local snappedVector = target.CFrame:VectorToObjectSpace(vector)
    return target.CFrame:VectorToWorldSpace(
        Vector3.new(
            math.round(
                (snappedVector.X) / grid
            ) * grid,
            math.round(snappedVector.Y / grid) * grid,
            math.round(
                (snappedVector.Z) / grid
            ) * grid
        )
    )

Refrain from replying to this post if you won’t post a useful formula to solve this.

Try this

local function snap(vector)
	local newVector = Vector3.new(
		math.floor((vector.X / BuildController.Settings.GridSnap)) * BuildController.Settings.GridSnap,
		math.floor((vector.y / BuildController.Settings.GridSnap)) * BuildController.Settings.GridSnap,
		math.floor((vector.Z / BuildController.Settings.GridSnap)) * BuildController.Settings.GridSnap
	)

	return newVector
end

where BuildController.Settings.GridSnap is your grid in studs. 0.5 or 1 for example

I already tried that with more maths but doesn’t seem to work with wall objects or the way I’m trying to achieve.

It snaps really well for me, I also have walls and stuff. My build items are only the same size, thickness and stuff. For models i don’t really care about placements. From your image it seems like the item you try to build has a different size, is that intentional?

#6

Trying to set the part into the middle of the target part (I did it) but doesn’t work with grid.

#7

Weird, cool that you got it working tho :+1:

#8

I did not get anything, I only achieved to snap the part in the middle but it doesn’t work with grid

#9

I dont know what you mean, snap without grid sounds vague to me

#10

I mean this

If you look carefully, you will notice that the part it’s in the middle, not in the sides, but with grid, that breaks

#11

I see that you managed to put the part nicly in the middle, and I assume you mean “grid” as in

I cannot help you there, the code you showed is for snapping in the world space and has nothing to do with the grid shown on the terrain

Edit, I myself have to implement this yet into my game, so i dunno really

#12

Oh if thats the only problem then just multiply the end cframe that you are setting it to times CFrame.new(0, part.SIze.X / 2, 0) – (you will definitely have to adjust the axes here)
