Hi! I am making a game called Minecraft Mini. I want to know how to make the player select a block from an invisible grid to destroy/place a block. (kind of like drawing in bitmap mode) What I don't want to do is get the coordinates of each square as there are two different screens to look at, or getting the scripts from another project.
Can anyone please help as this has been troubling me for a long time.

I'm confused. How can you get something from an invisible grid if you are not allowed to use coordinates? That's all a grid is - coordinates!

Hi, can you rephrase the bolded text that i've quoted?
Also to share the project would help to understand you.

Drawing in bitmap mode basically is pixel art. I want the player to be able to ‘draw’ blocks that you can stand on and ‘erase’ blocks to dig or get resources. I dont think sharing the project will help very much as I have just started and only made the player able to move, but here is the link anyway.
