COOKIES!!!!

[kiki]

Whoever can figure out how to correctly find the range of a nanotower with lua gets a cookie. I am using BA to test, and UnitDefs[unitID].buildDistance and UnitDefs[unitID].buildDistance + Spring.GetUnitDefDimensions(unitID).radius both do not give full range, but only about half. Also, if you succeed you will get my pretty lua widget.

buildDistance is correct I'm not sure what you're doing, try this function to test:

Code: Select all

function widget:UnitFinished(unitID, unitDefID, unitTeam)

  local x,_,z = Spring.GetUnitPosition(unitID)
      
  for angle=0,360,40 do
    local xp = (x + (math.sin(math.rad(angle)) * UnitDefs[unitDefID].buildDistance))
    local zp = (z + (math.cos(math.rad(angle)) * UnitDefs[unitDefID].buildDistance))
    Spring.MarkerAddPoint(xp,0,zp)
  end

end

Edit: OH you're using UnitDefs[unitID] instead of UnitDefs[unitDefID] that would be why - it's reading another unit :p i'll leave my code in for its leet point spamming and geometry skills

TheFatController does not need anymore cookies. I'll take them instead.

Oh! no wonder! I was thinking that that may be a possibility as i was in the car. Cookies for you!!! That also explains why with a different build order the value was different.

The cookie king throwns upon sales of counterfeit cookies
