Snap to grid?

[FaTony]

I usually make very artificial maps just for fun and I find it difficult to place stuff without snapping to grid. Is there a button that can do this?

[WhiteTreePaladin]

I don't think there is, but it is a feature that I've wanted for awhile.

 

Edit: there is a feature in the editor that turns the buildings red when they overlap, so that could help some.

Some of the problem with a grid snap system is that the buildings are not standard sizes and do not conform to the size of the grid.

There is a Trac ticket for it: #3920 and the feature is even listed in the "Planned features for Part 1" list on wiki (the list is somewhat aged and probably should be re-evaluated some day though).

Snapping to grid may not be very useful inside the game but will be very useful in editor to make symmetric maps.

I think it would be useful in the game too.

Silly question what grid as far as I have seen there is no grid just a coordinate system so first a displayable grid will need to be coded before you could even consider snapping to said grid in either atlas or the game.

Enjoy the Choice

There is a displayable grid in atlas.

I think snapping buildings together accomplishes most of it

I think the good idea would be snapping to a power of 2 of game units, like 2,4,8,16...
