| Summary | 0004169: add Spring.GetUnitCollisionVolumeData(unitDefID) or access default col values in UnitDefs | ||||
| Description | if given unit wasnt added/spawned/created in given game yet, widget/gadget is not able to get collision volume data for given unitDefID/unitName for some own needs. we store(d) such default values for model (radius, height - due wiki) in UnitDefs, so "it can be changed later by gadgets" is kind of excuse argument why dont have collision values there, too :). Generaly i would expect i find all standard defs from unit definition file in UnitDefs (with naming desync i can live :) Btw i suggest similar function or table data for Features, too. | ||||

|
why? |
|
|
i need to know init values given to object before its created so storing DEFAULT values of hitsphere in UnitDefs seems to me reasonable, because its just another property which comes from definition of unit |
|
|
and if you ask "why it is so important?" - hitspheres is main engine mechanic from general final behavior of game view, it changes the feeling of player, result of mass actions, etc. so much, so i think game developer should have more control above it. If game developer knows what he can expect from engine (in this case size and type of sphere unit gets after creation), he can more control the output behavior of game. |
|
|
But what's wrong with triggering whatever behaviour you're trying to achieve with UnitCreated? E.g. the DCV gadget. Imo its confusing to have this in unitdefs since its really a property of the unit - for some units it even changes dependent on their current state. |
|
|
for example the unit is never UnitCreated? :) |
|
|
or its created long after i need to know the setup |
|
|
1. you didn't named a reason 2. all data is available in the unitdefs |
|
|
ad 2.: where? |
