Rectangular flood fill

Create objects as a grid to cover a rectangular area or an other object.

Authors and contributors to this community extension: VictrisGames.

This extension can be used to create multiple copies of an object in a wide variety of arrangements, including:

  • horizontal row(s)
  • vertical column(s)
  • a solid rectangle or square
  • an evenly spaced grid
  • a grid with different spacing between rows and columns

How To Use:

  • Place target objects in the scene in the places you want fill objects to be created
  • This action only needs to be run once (at the beginning of the scene or using TriggerOnce)

Object variables (on Fill objects):

  • "CreationID" (number)
  • "RowID" (number)
  • "ColumnID" (number)

Tips:

  • Use fill objects that are the same size as the scene editor grid. This will make sure the fill objects fit exactly inside the target objects.
  • Hide target objects at the beginning of the scene if you don't want them to be visible.
  • Keep the default origin point (top-left corner) on fill objects them to line up exactly with target objects.

  • Spacing parameters have been inverted.
