Question by Rugbug_Redfern · Apr 16, 2018 at 12:02 AM · gridoffsetrounding

Aligning objects to a grid with an offset

Currently the way I offset my objects is by adding a value to them at the end of the calculation of where their grid position is. Before all methods

 public float gridDistance = 1f;

In the Start() method

 gridSize = 1f / gridDistance;

In the Update() method

 gridPosition = new Vector3(
 Mathf.Round(transform.position.x * gridSize) * gridDistance,
 Mathf.Round(transform.position.y * gridSize) * gridDistance,
 Mathf.Round(transform.position.z * gridSize) * gridDistance);


And then if I want to offset it I'll do this

     gridPosition = new Vector3(
     Mathf.Round(newPos.x * gridSize) * gridDistance + gridDistance / 2f,
     Mathf.Round(newPos.y * gridSize) * gridDistance,
     Mathf.Round(newPos.z * gridSize) * gridDistance + gridDistance / 2f);

However, I would like the objects to round to an offset grid, rather than one grid and then offset.

Crude but effective illustration:

See how my cursor is in the middle of the screen, but the pillar is being placed on the far top left? That's because It's rounding my cursor point to a non-offset grid, and then adding like an offset to the final product. It would be great if the pillar's position would just round to where my cursor is, just on an offset grid.
