How do I create a grid based map?

like Rimworld map system is based on a grid, how would you go about doing this in construct 3?

Have you tried using tile maps?

Do you mean placing a regular tilemap object in the game or something else? If this is the case then yes, I'm currently using a tilemap for a game I'm making, but I'm talking about a system. Similar to games that use a grid-based map for placing buildings or grid-based movement system.

here is an example but it is in unity:

But if you mean something else please explain.

Thank you, I will give this a try but I'm actually talking about the entire world is built on a grid-based map/system for base building/ colony sim games. the ai walk 4-dir on grid; placing buildings on grid (your post might help that), items spawn on grid, etc... like in Rimworld or lord & villeins. But of course I will have to try out your post and maybe I can fiddle with it to make what I'm looking for.

Thanks for your help. :)

So in.. System> Create object>

is this how you write it?

(Mouse.X/32)*32

(Mouse.Y/32)*32

I know I'm not doing it right, it doesn't follow mouse can you please show me an example please.

Sorry, I got it!. I forgot I already had a code for this. Thanks so much for the help, you helped me to remember I already did this in another test game.

Thanks

MarciaL77 Hey do you mind sharing how you went about creating the grid system?

A grid is simply rounding all coordinate inputs to the nearest grid position.

So if your grid size was 1 pixel by 1 pixel, you would round all numbers to the nearest whole number.

If your grid size is 32, you would divide by 32, round, then multiply by 32 again. gridx=round(x/32)*32.
