So, I was going to make some sort of apartment game, but wanted to put in a script that can do something like pizza place and the plaza games. It would need to split parts of an area into blocks and then allow the user to place objects that are x block size covering that area. Its kinda hard to explain but if you've played any of those games you know what i'm talking about. If anyone can link to me a wiki article or anything that would be of help that would be amazing. Thank you, Phonicz

Sounds like it'll involve something beyond my scripting knowledge

@QueBankus, Thanks for the link, but it is to the wrong information. I need something for the 3D workspace, not the 2D UI.

If i had to guess it'll involve raycasting, mouse functions and making a local script so only the player can see the squares.

If you don't want to handle the headache yourself: https://www.roblox.com/library/1122124371/Placement-Handler-V2
