I have an mc called “square”, which is a square. It is placed in a grid, and follows the movement of the mouse. However, it stays in that square of the grid until the \_x or \_y of the mouse is half or more than halfway into the next grid square, so there’s sort of a “sticky” effect.

Hope I’m coherent. Thanks for any help.
