Subject description: An attach effect animation to find coords for factories		 Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread
I made an Attach effect animation spawned via superweapon to find the Coordinates of Shps for ExitCoord or Dock (Requires Ares)
Inspired by MigEater's FLH Finder
All the code needed is included in the text file
Edit: Fixed incorrect numbers

Umm, shouldn't that be 256, 512, 768, then 1024?

Neat idea & nice to see that I've inspired others to try this approach. Personally though I never found setting the dock difficult as most of the time it's just a multiple of 255, hardiest part is remembering if I need a positive or negative number #Tongue

I have used this in FinalAlert, just attaching like ActiveAnim or BibShape. I think in some cases this method is more convenient. And the map editor loads faster than the game.

I dare say almost nobody will use fractional cell locations for placing units for such a detailed grid. All you really need to know is 128 is half a cell for centering, incremented by the number of full cells which are 256.

I might be one of the only ones who has used a complex arrangement of centers and edges for my airbase.

i reckon it would be used more if the Z offset worked for docks and we could design elevated docks
