First of all, does your game have in place a grid-based map? Like, a grid for the tiles, or another grid with the structures (walls etc)

you might want to use 'div' instead of '/' for division. 'div' truncates the result so you know that you're locked into the desired cell of the Grid.

I use ds_Grids in HEAPS of my tutorials. If you're interested in skimming through them, i think it might help. I'm also working on a video explaining Grids and how to use them, if you'd be interested in that.

x&=~15;
y&=~15;

x = mouse_x & ~15;
y = mouse_y & ~15;

If the grid is a power of 2 (e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64) then you can do this by subtracting 1 from the grid size. ...Bit now we're just talking about various ways to do the same thing. lol

If you don't use a mouse, just move in grid increments to begin with.

Same thing. Every time you read the mouse's coordinates, snap them to the grid.

onMouseClick:
x1 = mouse_x & ~15;
y1 = mouse_y & ~15;

onMouseHold:
x2 = mouse_x & ~15;
y2 = mouse_y & ~15;

DrawEvent:
draw_rectangle(x1,y1,x2,y2,0);
