How to follow mouse and snap to grid

Hi Everyone,

I'm doing a TD game and am struggling with how to have the object to build follow my mouse but snap to a grid.

So i'm currently doing a set position for the object to build with mouse.x and mouse.y. works find except their is no grid snapping and the mouse moves.

Any thoughts or examples on how to do that?

u can try with if mouse is over block/position set object to mouse position.

i think the mouse plugin has a hover condition...so u can use that, over the grid object if it's made out of object blocks, like sprites.

Object set X to round(mouse.Y/gridsize)*gridsize

Object set Y to round(mouse.Y/gridsize)*gridsize

Are you using tilemaps by chance? If you are there is a handy function which is Tilemap.SnapX and Tilemap.SnapY which return the coordinates of the closest grid tile. If you aren't using tilemaps maybe try adding a blank tilemap into your game just for the snapping function as it is really simple to create it from there. Just every tick set the position of mouse to Tilemap.SnapX(Mouse.X) and Tilemap.SnapY(Mouse.Y)

Not using tile maps. By dop2000 gave me what I was looking for. I forgot the parenthesis. That’s why I could get it to work.

Thanks everyone.
