Snap Points

Written by Woden87 - Original Post

As near as I can tell, the structure you are currently placing checks the Structure Snap Type Flags of nearby structures against the To Snap Point Type Flags and To Snap Point Type Exclude Flags of each of its snap points. The Snap Point Match Groups do not seem to (completely?) prevent matches between snap points with different groups (for example, the top snap point of fence foundations is Match Group 8; walls and railings, despite not having any Match Group 8 snap points, can still snap to fence foundations); however, it does seem to prevent them in some cases (such as how foundations and ceilings have different snap groups for front/back and left/right connections)... perhaps it is only considered if there is at least one matching snap point?

NOTE: Type debugstructures 1 in to the console to help with snap points!

Snap Point Match Groups

Note: For purposes of this list:

  • "Wall" will refer to Walls, Doorframes, Windowframes, Railings, and Sloped Walls.
  • "Ceiling" will refer to Ceilings, Hatchframes, and Thatch Roofs.
  • "Ramp" will refer to both ramps and sloped roofs.
  • "Gateway" will refer to both Dinosaur Gateways and Behemoth Gateways.
  • "Pillars+" will refer to both Pillars and Elevator Tracks.
  • "Non-sloped water pipes" refers to straight, vertical, intersection, tap, and intake pipes, plus water tanks.
