callback->canBuildAt() return value

[alik83]

I wonder if the callback->canBuildAt() returns TRUE if there's a reclaimable feature like a wreck on the test spot?
And how do you get the feature info in that spot? Is it possible?
Thx,
Alik

P.S.

I added these a while back:

Code: Select all

	int GetFeatures (int *features, int max);
	int GetFeatures (int *features, int max, const float3& pos, float radius);
	FeatureDef* GetFeatureDef (int feature);
	float GetFeatureHealth (int feature);
	float GetFeatureReclaimLeft (int feature);

I'm not sure about canBuildAt() though, there are int return codes all over the place and I don't really get their meaning (Plus Im too lazy to take a better look at it)

It returns true even if there is a reclaimable feature in the way. Internally spring uses an int where 2=totally clear, 1=clear but feature in the way, both get translated to true though.

Ok thx

Would it be possible to add 3=You are trying to place a moho and there is a Mex in the way?

So we could queue Mohos without having to reclaim/destroy them first.

just a switch that would let us add a build order to a queue even though the engine thinks it won't be able to...

Shouldnt subAI behaviours autoreclaim the wreck then build ontop? Anyways if something else is on the position you gave, perhaps if it returned the unitID of the stationary unit blocking the way.
