Minecraft style grid and block placement?
Ok, so I want to make a minecraft clone. It seems so simple but its actually insanely hard.
All I want is to know how to make a grid, and then place cubes on it.
Note: Cubes are default size.
I am using the FirstPersonController and I need to know where to put the scripts as well.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Also posted to forums here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/84258-How-to-place-blocks-like-$$anonymous$$ecraft-on-a-grid.
Start with getting the Fire button to just spit out a cube where you are. Then try to get it to pop out 3 units ahead of you. After that, draw several pictures of exactly where you want the cube to be and how it should be lined up, depending where you are when you drop it. "If my x/z is this, cube should be at that x/z."
Can't believe there's such an old thread about that topic. Anyways I'll post it here as well:

Make a "sensor" first. It's basically an empty gameobject with 6 planes added in to make it look like a cube. Then make scripts for the planes to create blocks. For example, the y negative plane would Instantiate a new block 0.5 y lower when clicked. Then put scripts in the original block to teleport the sensor to it's position when mouseovered. Now when you put your mouse over a block, a sensor appears and if you click on one of the sides a block will appear on the same side. The sensing script should be copied too.
