GridLayout.WorldToCell how does it work?
I'm having trouble understanding how it converts a world position to a cell position. What is the difference between world position and cell position?
This has to do with spaces. The world space is where every root gameobject is positioned in the the viewport. As soon as you add a child gameobject to any of those it's positioned relative to that gameobject, called local space. Now a GridLayout has grids and each grid is basically at a different local position to its gameobject while a point within a grid cell is at the local space of that cell. Now WorldToCell converts a position, e.g. the player somewhere in the scene, into the grid telling the cell the position fit into. The fact that the return value is a Vector3int tells me that it's the cell, not the position within that cell as that would be not accurate.
I'm a little lost on your explanation. Here is a picture of my objects transform.position and me converting that to a cell position. I don't understand how the x value went from 0.5 to -1.

Ok so I figured it out, for some reason I had my tilemap's x position set to 1, and it was skewing the x value to a position that didn't make sense to me. Thank you for your answer, I feel like i'm understanding it more now!
