    Hello,
    I am currently developing a game kind of like PA, and i was wondering how to get the placement of objects on a grid to work. I have been searching around for days, and I've had no luck. Any help is appreciated.

    Which part are you struggling with? Creating the actual grid? Finding out what cell on the grid your mouse is over?

    Help us, help you.

    PA works off a 2d array of tiles. It's also pretty much totally mod-able so you can probably work out a lot of the systems from the "how to make mods" support pages: http://prisonarchitectwiki.com/wiki/Modding_guide

    also googling "unity tile map" will come up with loads of approaches for 2d/isometric/3d tile map systems (kinda all the same thing :) )
