Instanced Tiles

[Chikan]

I'm trying to write a PC script for myself, but I got snagged on the instancing of the tiles.

 

What I've tried so far was to simply use Explv's map and just throw the area in and end my day.

Area DefenceArea = new Area (2670,2585,2643,2602);

Area PrimaryDefenceArea = new Area (2653,2596,2660,2589);

 

Obviously these won't work since it's an instanced area and the tiles will vary each time so my question is: How would I properly get these kind tiles positions?

 

Or, if possible how would I use
As I've noticed those are seemingly static in instanced areas.

 

Any help appriciated.

Find some objects inside the instance that never move. Take that object's position and subtract or add the amount needed to the X and Y of the static object to get to the desired position.
 

For example:
You have barrier located at X,Y,Z. The position you want is 5 left and 2 down from the barrier so what you do new Position(barrier.getX()-5, barrier.gety()-2, barrier.getZ()) etc etc

Grid position is going to be a bad indicator, as it is simply a more accurate representation of the local position (think sub-positions). Each position has a 128x128 grid used for animations/moving characters. In your example:

6784 / 128 = 53
6272 / 128 = 49

Which is the same values for the local x/y. They seem static as the local/grid positions are the same relative to the loaded region.

There are a few ways to handle instances areas. You can just use local position if it doesn't change from instance to instance, but if the region doesn't contain the entire instance, it won't work. You can find the furthest reachable east X and furthest reachable south Y, then use that as "0,0" and offset from that position. Or you can use an object that has a unique position, or a collection of objects, and get a point of reference from there.

Edit: To add to IDontEB, you can use that but the API has a translate method for positions:

Position offsetPos = barrier.getPosition().translate(-5, -2);

Like Fruity said you could use your local position in the region:

myPosition().getLocalX()

myPosition().getLocalY()

As those coordinates will always be the same.

To get the actual in game position, you would then add the local position to the region's start position:

int actualX = getMap().getBaseX() + localX

int actualY = getMap().getBaseY() + localY

However a region isn't that big, I think 104 x 104 tiles, and I'm not sure if PC spans multiple regions, it might do.

You could just store the baseX and baseY of the region where you spawn in PC, I think you always spawn in the same place right? And then when you start a game of PC you just get the baseX and baseY in the current instance, calculate the offset and apply it to all your stores positions and areas:

final int baseXStartRegion = 1234;

final int baseYStartRegion = 1234;

int offsetX, offsetY;

// When new PC game starts

offsetX = baseXStartRegion - getMap().getBaseX();

offsetY = baseYStartRegion - getMap().getBaseY();

 

Then when you want to walk somewhere just apply the offsets to the destination position:

 

Position getInstancedPosition(Position position) {

return position.translate(offsetX, offsetY);

}

I *think* that should work.

Here is an example I came up with.
