Grid Script Doesn't work

[craggy delta]

I made a script that made it when any object with a rigid body entered an empty game object which I will refer to as grid (image 1) it would snap that object that collided to the physical grid (image 2) aka making its value an integer and then clamping it so it doesn't get out of the grid

here's what I've got so far

[worn wing]

but where does gridVariable come from?

you are doing gridVariable = collier.ClosestPoint(gridVariable);

what is it before that? 🤔

[craggy delta]

0 I guess

[worn wing]

so what does gridVariable = collier.ClosestPoint(gridVariable); do?

[craggy delta]

I'm not sure at this point

I think it doesn't really do anything but somebody told me I should do it so

[worn wing]

what is scale of the grid transform?

the one with the big box collider

[craggy delta]

the empty?

or the physical grid

the physical grid is actually a bunch of separate planes and I just selected all of them to make it clear

[worn wing]

^

as in your first screenshot

[craggy delta]

oh so the empty

it's

[worn wing]

I wouldn't call it empty

it has a box collider.

[craggy delta]

the empty is 1 1 1 but the collider is x30 y20 z15

[craggy delta]

ok that

[worn wing]

first you want to get the apporximated collision position

gridVariable = collier.ClosestPoint(collider.transform.position);

[craggy delta]

and then

[worn wing]

then convert it into the box's local space like you did before with InverseTransformPoint

then you probably need to subtract the box collider's half size from that

so that "back left corner" becomes 0, 0, 0

then round it

[craggy delta]

how do I do that again

[worn wing]

Vector3 localPos = transform.InverseTransformPoint(gridVariable);

[craggy delta]

and grid variable becomes that

[worn wing]

^

this is all i can say for now

try stuff out

[craggy delta]

ok

[worn wing]

and try to understand every step you do

guessing doesnt work

[craggy delta]

ok

[worn wing]

also no. You are working with localPos variable at this point

[worn wing]

eh?

cant just post a bunch of code without any explanation or question

[craggy delta]

that's what I got

so is this what you mean

it's what I understood from what you said

[worn wing]

send snippets or paste site, screenshots annoying

when i want to copy a line of yours

[craggy delta]

ok

Debug.Log("Collided");
        gridVariable = collider.ClosestPoint(collider.transform.position);
        Vector3 localPos = transform.InverseTransformPoint(gridVariable);
        gridVariable = (gameObject.transform.localScale / 2) - localPos;
        gridVariable = new Vector3(Mathf.RoundToInt(gridVariable.x), 0, Mathf.RoundToInt(gridVariable.z));  
        collider.transform.position = gridVariable;
        Debug.Log("Ran");```

[worn wing]

oh btw

[craggy delta]

so is this what you meant

on your explanation

[craggy delta]

what

[worn wing]

jfc do you have any patience?

im literally typing

[craggy delta]

oh ok

sry

[worn wing]

you should actually replace
gridVariable = collider.ClosestPoint(collider.transform.position);
with
gridVariable = selfCollider.ClosestPoint(collider.transform.position);

where selfCollider is the box collider of the "empty"

[craggy delta]

ok

self collider doesn't exist

[worn wing]

🤦‍♂️

[worn wing]

you skip every second message i send

I don't have time to spoonfeed you, good luck

[craggy delta]

yeah I realized

[craggy delta]

ykw this isn't worth wasting time on
