Drop slots for my jewel game

Nocturne31

Hey

I'm able to move my jewels around freely before dropping them, but this means that they can drop anywhere and stack up in a weird way (some will stop as soon as they collide with the corner of another jewel...So i need them to move left and right from slot to slot (invisible slots of course)

I hope I'm making sense

Thanks in advance, much appreciated

I'm not sure but it sounds like you want to have the jewels in a grid with very specific movement rules so that the jewels only end up going in the squares they're supposed to.

Exactly! Invisible grids though

You could make a table that would function as a grid with X and Y coordinates and link your jewels to table cell values.
This way they would act like they're in an invisible grid.

Thank you, that makes sense. I have been trying to do that actually, just can't seem to get the coding right for some reason

What do you have so far?

I have

Table : 1 Row 5 Columns

Self Attributes: Row Real, Number Real

Rule

Touch PRessed

Change Attribute : Self.number to TabeCellValue(Game.Table2,1,Self.Column)

Rule

If Self.Number =1,

Do

Change Attribute: Self.Position.x to 57

57 is the position of my first column

I have another rule initially to move the Jewels freely within the scene, if that helps
