• Grid Framework version 1.2.0 released

    The wait is over, version 1.2.0 is out, bringing you the long promised hex grids. I'll soon make a video demonstrating the new grid, in the meantime let me explain it in words. My implementation brings you all the features you knew from rectangular grids, except on a hex grid, and both grids inherit from the same base class. This means the API for both is the same and you can write one script for both grids with little to no need to make special adjustments for different grid classes. Currently there is only one coordinate system and hex grids have "only" as much functionality as rectangular grids. I wish to improve upon this in the future.

  • Grid Framework version 1.2.0 submitted

  • Grid Framework version 1.1.10 released

    The 1.1.10 update brings in a new function, ScaleVector3(Vector scl) : Vector3 which takes in a vector and then scales it so it fits inside the grid. This is similar to AlignVector3, which was introduced in the last update, to allow performing the aligning and scaling without having to provide an actual Transform.

  • Version 1.1.7 released

    Version 1.1.7 has been approved by the Asset Store team. I fixed a small typo that prevented the menu item for adding the GFGridRenderCamera component from working and I added two more examples, video tutorials will follow soon. I also redid the screenshots because the Asset Store ate my old ones somehow.

  • Version 1.1.5 released

    As per request the custom rendering range now affects drawing as well, not just rendering. If you are wondering why this wasn't the case before, it was a leftover from before the custom rendering range got implemented. Originally the custom range was only meant for rendering because that would be what the layer sees in the final game, not the drawing, whether they are the same or not. Also, the drawing is only a drawing, the grid keeps working beyond what's visible, being infinite. That's why the drawing had low priority and I worked on other parts instead.

  • Version 1.1.4 released

    Version 1.1.4 has been approved. It doesn't add anything new for a change, instead it fixes a bug where lines with a width larger than 1 were drawn on top of things they were supposed to be under.

  • Version 1.1.3 released

    You know, sometimes I look at something and wonder "what kind of idiot designed this!?", only this time I was the idiot. Let's say you wanted to render a simple 3x3 grid and you wanted the origin to be in the lower left corner. Well, you simply couldn't do that, not until now:
