How can I create a grid for a Leveleditor?

Question

Hello,

I want to make a grid, but the instantiated grid-prefabs are not aligning right next to each other, they are overlapping:

Gridfail

 for(var x : int = 0; x < sizeX; x++){
     for(var y : int = 0; y < sizeY; y++){
         gridClone = Instantiate(grid, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
         gridClone.transform.position = Vector3(x,0,y);
     }
 }

Nevermind, I have found a solution:

 for(var x : int = 0; x < sizeX; x++){
     for(var y : int = 0; y < sizeY; y++){
         gridClone = Instantiate(grid, Vector3(x*24,0,y*24), Quaternion.identity);
     }
 }

}

Note that 24 is the width/height of the grid prefab.

Need to provide how much space is in between the instantiated objects. Can make public properties and adjust as needed:

 public float spacingX = 10f;
 public float spacingY = 10f;

then in the for-loop, multiple the position with the spacings:

 gridClone.transform.position = Vector3(x * spacingX, 0f, y * spacingY);

Note that the variable "y" is actually using the Z position. I named the property |spacingY| to keep consistent with the existing code. It should be "z".
