Create Random Board from Shaped Tiles

[Est_engine]

@Kachimakee

Ok so I’m getting somewhere thanks to @Est_engine ! This is what I have so far, just working between 2 tile types for now, with their edge distances from their origins stored in variables:

So right now I’m placing the square tiles on sockets that are placed on the Octagon’s static mesh and then offsetting. I’m running into placement issues I think because of not being able to place the sockets in the exact location between points. Is there a way to get a more precise location with what I have? The solution would have to work with all other shape types, since their distribution will be random eventually.

Hi man,
Am i wrong or i see you are using a “Truncate” to some floats
that will convert a number like 14.41 to an int of 14 leaving you an incomplete distance ?

You can multiply vector to float too!

than you used the socket to get the locations ?
If you place these shapes center in the center of the origin axis, you can find all the location using perfect math!
A quick example is exagon,
If you make an exagon of lengt 1m, every side will be 1m and the distance from center to the sideDirection (T) will be a 1m too!
