  Move Objects by defined amount

  Posted by Liam Campbell on November 1, 2017 at 4:17 pm

  I need to animate a bunch of different squares around a grid but I want to be able to click and drag the layers and have them snap at a defined increment. For example a square is at position 100,100 and I want to move it up by 2 I want it to snap to 102,104,106 as i drag it.

  I don’t know of a quick solution, but maybe you could adapt this guys preset Zack’s https://zacklovatt.com/snapping-to-hex-grid/

  Something like this maybe?

  grid = 2;
  [Math.floor(value[0]/grid),Math.floor(value[1]/grid)]*grid
