Custom foundation question

suffle19 · Disk Thrower **Joined**: 27 Jun 2019

I have trouble with custom foundation(it's like "r" letter) - building isn't touches central cell where the units shoots so it's kinda immune to non AOE weapon.

Any way to resolve this and keep foundation as it is?

Code:

Foundation = Custom
Foundation.X = 3
Foundation.Y = 2
Foundation.0 = 0,0
Foundation.1 = 1,0
Foundation.2 = 2,0
Foundation.3 = 0,1
FoundationOutline.Length = 14
FoundationOutline.0 = -1,-1
FoundationOutline.1 = 0,-1
FoundationOutline.2 = 1,-1
FoundationOutline.3 = 2,-1
FoundationOutline.4 = 3,-1
FoundationOutline.5 = -1,0
FoundationOutline.6 = 3,0
FoundationOutline.7 = -1,1
FoundationOutline.8 = 1,1
FoundationOutline.9 = 2,1
FoundationOutline.10 = 3,1
FoundationOutline.11 = -1,2
FoundationOutline.12 = 0,2
FoundationOutline.13 = 1,2

isn't the solution quite obvious? Make it 1 cell wider and shift the "r" one cell to the side, so the long line of the r is in the center.

Description:

if the red cell is where units shoot at, make sure its on the building.

Hmm, fair enough

I forget what it is but IIRC there is a tag that lets you move the center point of a building to fix this sort of issue.

I've tried as you say but it works not as it supposed to work...
I get I letter instead of r and wide selection canvas

I knew I'd seen this before, so after about 30 minutes of searching through ModEnc, I found:

TargetCoordOffset = X,Y,Z
Specifies the offset, in pixels, at which enemy fire is directed when this BuildingType is fired upon. Is specified in X,Y,Z format with 0,0,0 being the exact center of the structure.

The only instance of its use in the games is with NavalYards, and the numbers used there imply that for your purpose, you're looking at a number like:

TargetCoordOffset = -256,-128,0

Also, IIRC = If I Recall/Remember Correctly.

Thanks.
