Hexagonal 2D grid

Snap objects to an hexagonal grid.

Authors and contributors to this experimental extension: D8H.

It allows to snap objects on a 2D hexagonal grid.

It's useful for:

A simple example shows how to snap objects that are dragged with the mouse.

Snap objects to a virtual bubble grid
Snap object to a virtual bubble grid (this is not the grid used in the editor).

See parameters
  • Parameter 1 (👾 Object): Objects to snap to the virtual grid
  • Parameter 2 (🔢 Number): Width of a cell of the virtual grid (in pixels)
  • Parameter 3 (🔢 Number): Height of a cell of the virtual grid (in pixels) The actual row height will be 7/8 of this.
  • Parameter 4 (🔢 Number): Offset on the X axis of the virtual grid (in pixels)
  • Parameter 5 (🔢 Number): Offset on the Y axis of the virtual grid (in pixels) Odd rows are shifted from half a cell, use a "CellHeight * 7/8" offset to make it the other way

Technical note: parameters 0, 6 are internal parameters handled by GDevelop.

Snap objects to a virtual flat topped hexagonal grid
Snap object to a virtual flat topped hexagonal grid (this is not the grid used in the editor).

See parameters
  • Parameter 1 (👾 Object): Objects to snap to the virtual grid
  • Parameter 2 (🔢 Number): Width of a cell of the virtual grid (in pixels) The actual column width will be 3/4 of this.
  • Parameter 3 (🔢 Number): Height of a cell of the virtual grid (in pixels)
  • Parameter 4 (🔢 Number): Offset on the X axis of the virtual grid (in pixels) Odd columns are shifted from half a cell, use a "CellHeight * 3/4" offset to make it the other way.
  • Parameter 5 (🔢 Number): Offset on the Y axis of the virtual grid (in pixels)

Technical note: parameters 0, 6 are internal parameters handled by GDevelop.
