Get # of Positions an entity takes up

[Camaro]

Is there a way to get the number of Positions an Entity takes up?

I see the api has getSizeX and getSizeY, but those both return 1 for hill giants, which span 2 positions in the x and y direction.

Hmmm you could get the direction that the hill giant is facing and than add an extra tile depending on where the second tile that the hill giants use.

IE. If the second tile is always infront of the hill giant than take the current tile the hill giant is on and add another one that is infront of the hill giant.

So if a monster spans multiple tiles, its actual position is always the south west most tile, so thats not a problem. I have a function deals with npc's differently depending on the # of tiles it spans, and I want to be able to use that same function such that I can pass it an entity without specifying the # of tiles as a parameter

Still looking for an answer if anyone knows
