Selecting tiles similar to stardew?

I'm making a farming sim style game similar to stardew valley but I'm having trouble figuring out how to select specific tiles for for example tilling or placing items down. I want to make a grid style system but unsure where to even start. Any tips or ideas? Thanks is advance!

I envision having a selection square like this that targets a tile in a 32x32 pixel grid in front of the player. just don't know how to make it move around in said grid style.

Round positions but instead of rounding to numbers without decimals u divide by like,

the size of your tiles first, and then you round the number, and then multiply it back by the size of your tile, and u get numbers that jump from tile to tile, like, any number you put into this math will pop out a tile number.

Math is awesome

Yeah I'm sure it would be fairly easy with the correct calculation with the proper code but I am just dumbstruck by trying to figure out what the equation and line of code should be lol

and then u use the same math to round coordinates and store a plant's UID inside a dictionary with the rounded X and Y as the key, so like, if you attack a selected ground tile, instead of testing collision against every tile, you can pick by the uid dictionary.at(rounded x & " " & rounded y) and if you stored the UID there properly in the code when you plant something then u can harvest it with good performance

omg you're awesome.it may need a little tweaking but it is now moving with the character and popping to the tile locations! thanks so much!

You got it?
