#I'm trying to generate hex tiles with a hover and selection.

Hi, I have a script that generates hex tiles and puts a highlight and click detector on the tiles. The script works when I make the hex tile grid with width or height 5 or less but as soon as I increase either the width or height above 5, only some tiles are selectable and does the highlight when the mouse hovers over them, they all still show the hand cursor when I hover the mouse over the tiles. Any help would be much appreciated.

    for col = 0, gridWidth - 1 do

Thank you, but this is doing the same. It works with a small grid but as soon as I try to make the grid bigger most tiles don't function as they should. I will see if I can create a video of what happens. The scripts look fine to me but I don't know what could be causing the issue
