[C++] How to access WaterDamage, VoidWater map params?

[lamer]

Can't find a simple way to read WaterDamage, VoidWater map params.
doc
I'm eager to add

Code: Select all

float Map::GetWaterDamage();
bool Map::IsVoidWater();

into AI interface.
But maybe i missed something?

There is a workaround (borrowed from RAI), but thats ugly.

VoidWater is non-physical and only affects rendering, so an AI shouldn't have much reasons to want to know that.

An AI attempt to build navy in VoidWater would be interesting. But how should ai know that AstroTurf_v2 has no navy? WaterDamage > 1e+10?
Can't say that i totally undertand RAI but it actually using VoidWater for terrain analysis (maybe its only relevant for other mods, not ZK?).

I would consider it a passable somewhat heuristic given that no maps with traversible voidwater currently exist. But the actual mechanism to prevent construction or travel in voidwater is either waterdamage or a gadget.

Ok, then its only

Code: Select all

float Map::GetWaterDamage();

so far. And gadgets could push some GameRulesParam, but gadget interaction is another story/topic.

Pushing a GRP would allow things like lavarise lava being accessible to AI, but yes, that's a different story :)

(imagine AI pathing around lavarise lava hurrr)
