public method GetCellCenterWorld(position: Vector3Int): Vector3;
public Vector3 GetCellCenterWorld(Vector3Int position);

Parameters

position Grid cell position.

Returns

Vector3 Center of the cell transformed into world space coordinates.

Description

Get the logical center coordinate of a grid cell in world space.

In a rectangular grid layout, a call to GridLayout.CellToWorld 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 prefer the center of the cell instead.

no example available in JavaScript
// Snap the GameObject to parent Tilemap center of cell
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Tilemaps;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { Tilemap tilemap = transform.parent.GetComponent<Tilemap>(); Vector3Int cellPosition = tilemap.WorldToCell(transform.position); transform.position = tilemap.GetCellCenterWorld(cellPosition); } }
