Dynamic colony range
Raycoms opened this issue · 5 comments
Dynamically calculate the colony range.
The town hall on placement would claim all chunks including the town hall + 3 chunks in every direction.
Every built building would then have an impact on the border around it depending on where they are placed.
Guard towers could give one chunk every 2 levels (into every direction) (on level 1,3,5)
Barracks and the townhall could expand on 1 chunk per level.
Utility buildings could expand 1 chunk every 4 levels (on level 1 and 5)
On destroying a building this would then unclaim the area.
To avoid issues on servers there can be a config with "max size"
and "min size".
Min size would describe a minimum protection radius to avoid other colonies to claim it (would be marked with the "colony close".
Max size would describe the max distance a claimable chunk has.
If max size == min size the system would be the same as it is now but with dynamic borders (good for servers with many colonies).
What needs to be done:
- Enrich chunk capability with a list of positions of buildings which claim the chunk
- On attempt to place buiding still check if within the colony
- On place of the building claim all chunks which do not belong to another colony and do not have colony close (to respect min size)
- Find a way to respect the existing system (maybe make it trigger with config value with new and existing system)
- On destroy of the building remove building from chunk claim.
- Add the radius on upgrade
- Modify the border calc to respect the new border (basically would find all the claimed chunks which border an unclaimed chunk - maybe we can store this information within the chunk)

@Raycoms ready for closing?
I'd also say that the chunks claimed have to be contiguous with no gaps between claimed chunks.
So, gaps can happen when you destroy a building. But since you can place the chest only in a claimed chunk gaps are avoided already.
