**||** Snap To Grid Code Help **||**

Ok so I have a piece of code that almost does what I want. I want the screen divided into 40x40 quadrants. I have a game attribute of Cell Width and Height at 40 each. Here is my code for the snap to grid:
(ceil((floor(((game.Touches.Touch 1.Y + game.Camera Y Offset)/game.Cell Height)*2))/2))*game.Cell Height
The issue I am having with this is it is placing them with a snap to grid except I want it to snap to the center of the 40x40 ... instead it is snapping to the corner of the 4 quadrants in the region clicked. If you have any ideas on how to modify this to accomplish what I'm doing I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
**Oh and btw that same code is the exact same for the X with the exception of it being the X's.

How about remaking your background image with the gridlines starting 20 over and down?

Thanks for replying each of you. Ya after tampering around I did find that +20 to the Y did get it about right looking. The problem with it on the X is it moves it to incorrect location. So lets say I have a block of 40x40. If I plug the box in the very bottom left corner of the screen it goes (so it is at location 20x20). If I click directly next to it would push it one block over or up or somewhere else. It just isn't landing in the right spot. So I may have to just deal with it and just make the grid match the location of where it is actually making them spawn. Unless you have any ideas?
