Remind me how AddOccupy/RemoveOccupy are calculated?

I have forgotten and I can't find any notes on the topic.

This building really needs it.

It's calculated in cell tiles, with the northern/top foundation cell of the building being 0.

The tag is written like this, Add/RemoveOccupyX=X,X

The first X number can be between 1-8, so you are limited to only adding/removing 8 cells around a building.

The second X is the cell coordinates along a South-East, North-West axis, with the North-West direction being negative numbers.

The last X is the South-West to North-East axis, with the North-East direction being negative numbers.

Thanks, any idea why the last value is ignored? I tried making it a 0 instead of 9 and moving it to the top of the list, to no effect.

I mean I can lower the OccupyHeight and just add the 4 cells to it, but 9 should work? Or is it because the value is >0?

Yea seems it only respects up to #8.

Lowering OccupyHeight and adding AddOccupy cells for the top level works, even using that last positive value as a RemoveOccupy.

I must have misremembered, I thought it worked with all single digit numbers. I guess WW didn't need more then 8 so didn't bother coding the last number. I'll correct my original post for anyone looking at this in the future.
