The vectors above should return a total of 256 points.

So you want vectors with x-coordinates of -8, -7,... 7, 8? Have you come across loops?

my code is as follows

            var points = new List<Vector2Int>();

            var width = currentPosition.x - _buildObjectStartPoint.x;
            var h = currentPosition.y - _buildObjectStartPoint.y;

            for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
            {
                for (int y = 0; y < h; y++)
                {
                    points.Add(new Vector2Int(x, y));
                }
            }

            var points = new List<Vector2Int>();

            var width = currentPosition.x - _buildObjectStartPoint.x;
            var h = currentPosition.y - _buildObjectStartPoint.y;

            for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
            {
                for (int y = 0; y < h; y++)
                {
                    points.Add(new Vector2Int(x, y));
                }
            }

This does not give me the desired output

Well, it starts at 0 rather than -8

VelcerOP•2y ago

oh, hm. so dynamically speaking, x should equate startPosition.x?

canton7•2y ago

I'm not sure what dynamically speaking means here

VelcerOP•2y ago

dynamically, meaning not dealing with a hard coded 8.

canton7•2y ago

Is that where you wave your hands a lot? It's kinda hard to answer when we don't know why your code doesn't produce the result you want

Thinker•2y ago

Looks about right, besides that you might want to min/max width/height

canton7•2y ago

So you want all points between currentPosition and buildObjectStartPoint?

VelcerOP•2y ago

Yes, that's right.

canton7•2y ago

In which case start at currentPosition and keep incrementing until you reach buildObjectStartPoint. Bear in mind that currentPosition might be > than buildObjectStartPoint, so make sure you handle that

VelcerOP•2y ago

I see. Thank you both for your help, I realize what to do now. @thinker227 @canton7
