Hey
I was using your plugin and noticed that once i try to use different viewports other than whats in the example, 640x320 for example. The default grid system doesnt seem to work. Any chance we can get an update that uses the current viewport as the default grid size? and maybe even a way to choose default grid size as well?

Hello, the grid size is what the viewport is, if you use version >=2.0.1 you can set the Grid Scale Mode, to readjust automatically the grid. Is that what you were looking for? If that doesn’t solve your problem, let me know!

Hello!

Nice plugin, I've been using it for a few months! I have a question though. Is there an easier way to find out which screen the player is on? like setting a text to find the coordinates?

Hello and thanks for the purchase! Currently, there isn't. Creating tags for specific coordinates could be an improvement for a future update

With the new update you can tag coordinates 😄
