[Puzzle] How to place Items on the playfield grid?

Hi,

I'm writing a puzzlegame where you need to place some items on a playfield. The game is controlled by touch controls. The playfield is some kind of a tilemap. If the user touches on some location of the tilemap he should add a new sprite directly located on top of the tile he has touched before, so that he can place some items on this "map".

How can I do it? I'm not really sure how to find the location on the grid where the player has touched so that I can place the new sprite on it?!

Thanks for any help,

Benny

you going to have to spawn new objects(sprite) on touch and set them to touched location right?

Your question about to touched location:

Off the Top of my head, can't say if it works for sure, but the recipe is here:

Click on sprite - Set position type in X input box touch.X and do same for Y

Something like that.

You gonna have to play around

Should be hard at all

On Touched | Create object at ( floor(Touch.X/TileSize)*TileSize , floor(Touch.Y/TileSize)*TileSize )
