    Hey,

    I've been working on a game for the past few months and have hit a bit of a snag code wise.

    While most games use 100's of hexagon tiles to make a game world, I want my hexagons (20 in total) to be terrains that are linking together and therefore don't want to be using a chunk system (or should I be?). Ive attached a quick diagram as I'm not great at explaining it.

    Currently, Im getting out an List of hexes with the following data ordered in ascending X, Y and then Z. I have the Cuboid cords of the hex, ID of the hex and rotation all saved within a List to be used.

    My question is: can anyone tell me which direction to head in for this? Ive read plenty of sites on hexagons but am still unsure of how to transfer this across to unity?

    Programming in Unity is just regular programming. If you've found formulas for finding the center of hex (x,y), they'll work in Unity (except maybe you want to use x/z). Equations for an edge or corner will work the same. If the examples you see store them in a 2D array, do that in Unity.
