Vector3 Center of the cell transformed into local space coordinates.
Get the logical center coordinate of a grid cell in local space.
In a rectangular grid layout, a call to GridLayout.CellToLocal with Vector3Int parameter, returns a Vector3 coordinate that represents the bottom-left of the cell. This is mathematically correct, but when for example instantiating a GameObject into the grid, you often prefer the center of the cell instead.
no example available in JavaScript
// Snap the GameObject to parent Grid center of cell using UnityEngine;
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { Grid grid = transform.parent.GetComponent<Grid>(); Vector3Int cellPosition = grid.LocalToCell(transform.localPosition); transform.localPosition = grid.GetCellCenterLocal(cellPosition); } }
