build position offset

Post by **jcnossen** » 09 Jul 2005, 20:33

piece of my logfile:

Added build location: x=3680.000000,z=3616.000000
Unit created: 4997, UnitName: CORMEX, x=3688.000000,z=3624.000000

Why is it that (8,8) (or one square size) is added to the build location that is given through GiveOrder()? I can hack around it but I'm just interested in why it is.

Probably to fix it so the buildings can be line built correctly, or just so there's at least one square between buildings. However, merely a speculation.

Now, this thread should really be about how directional building has not been implimented, and must be!

Eh, directional building, what do you mean by that?

Directional factories, like, building a factory that faces and pumps out units north/south/east/west.

The buildings are lined up to fit on the pathfinding grid, although some are lined up slightly wrong which causes the unit stuck in factory bug among other things. Will be fixed in the next release.
