Grid Creation Systems

The v1.2 update has gone live on the Marketplace. I’ve uploaded a video to briefly showcase all the new features, most of which are geared towards enabling you to retrieve & highlight specific grid cell patterns within each type of grid configuration.

v1.2 Features Showcase:

ChangeLog:

  1. New helper functions to retrieve grid cell patterns:
  • Rectangle/Square Config: GetIndicesOfGridCellsAt(X), GetIndicesOfGridCellsAt(Y), & GetIndexOfGridCellAt(X&Y).
  • Circle Config: GetIndicesForAllGridCellsInSector
  • Sphere Config: GetIndicesOfGridCellsAtLatitude, GetIndicesOfGridCellsAtLongitude, & GetIndexOfGridCellAtLatitude&Longitude.
  • Cuboid Config: GetIndicesOfGridCellsAt(X), GetIndicesOfGridCellsAt(Y), GetIndicesOfGridCellsAt(Z), & GetIndexOfGridCellAt(X,Y,Z).
  • Hollow Square Config: GetIndicesOfAllGridCellsInRank
  • Flying Wedge Config: GetIndicesOfAllGridCellsInRow
  • Square Pyramid Config: GetAllGridPointsInStep
  1. New functions for highlighting grid cell patterns, exposed for the editor for easy customization & testing.

  2. Revamped the Hollow Square grid creation workflow to minimize the number of calculations required to retrieve grid cells within each rank of the formation.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug that caused duplicate grid cells to be generated at the poles for Sphere configuration.
