Hey guys, I was wondering if there’s a way to do this in babylon? Basically I’d like to have the ground have a grid
Like so:
And have to where if I tell the mesh to move to 2,3 it would move to the center of this tile:
But in a 3d perspective? I’m not sure if I’m making much sense here, so feel free to ask questions and I’ll clarify as best as I can?
I’m unsure if anyone here is familiar with the ‘RuneScape’ movement where if you click on tile (3422, 3200, 1) you’d walk to that tile?
It’s a fairly common question. Don’t feel bad. Yes is the answer. You are basically creating an RTS map.
To just mimic the material, explore the gridMaterial!

For functionality may I suggest start at thread from the old forums?
It has some sample code in one of the first reply links.
The most basic way is to create a multi-dimensional [[x,y,units],[x,y,units],[x,y,units]] array or if getting fancy a set of bitmap where each pixel is an X Y and color is representative of one game object(s))
There are a few additional forum threads along the same vein of setting up an RTS map from both the old forums and this one.
Let us know if you need more assistance.
@Calsa thanks for pointing out the grid material, hadn’t seen that yet 
as for the rest, the forum post you linked to, didn’t help very much unfortunately. I’m hoping for a playground example 
I got you covered:
I found you a nice YouTube video series with source on creating an full RTS (including just the map piece you want)

Happy to help, but don’t thank me. Thank the wonderful community member that took the time to make those tutorials. Real hero that guy.
