AIStation.GetLocation

[Kev!]

Howdy,

It's me again. You guys are great, so I am back with another question....

I get a station id from AIStationList(AIStation.STATION_AIRPORT)...but when I AIStation.GetLocation() on it...I get the location of the attached bus station... Is there an easy way to get the top tile of the airport? Cuz I need to upgrade it. Some non brute force method?

Please advise,
Kev!

P.S. Today is the anniversary of my birth, so be nice to me?

- grab tiles around your station
- valuate them with AIStation.GetStationID
- KeepValue(yourstationid) // if you follow the logic, now you have all tiles that belong to your stationid
- Valuate(AIStation.HasStationType,AIStation.ROADTYPE_ROAD)
- RemoveValue(1);
- Sort(AIList.SORT_BY_VALUE,false);
- first tile is at Begin()


I don't know if we have an easier way, but it's pretty simple like that already.
Happy birthday

Howdy,

So if I sort a list of tiles the first one is always top left?

I had tried this...

function TopTile(s,stype)
{
local tlist = AITileList_StationType(s, stype);

tlist.Valuate(AIMap.GetTileX);
tlist.Sort(AIList.SORT_BY_VALUE, true);
tlist.KeepValue(tlist.GetValue(tlist.Begin()));
tlist.Valuate(AIMap.GetTileY);
tlist.Sort(AIList.SORT_BY_VALUE, true);
tlist.KeepValue(tlist.GetValue(tlist.Begin()));

return tlist.Begin();
}


but yours looks better!

function TopTile(s,stype)
{
local tlist = AITileList_StationType(s, stype);

tlist.Sort(AIList.SORT_BY_VALUE, false);

return tlist.Begin();
}

Thanks!

Kev!

Howdy,


uh....I had to use true...If anyone is interested...

tlist.Sort(AIList.SORT_BY_VALUE, true);

Often undervalued, but I truely appreciate that you post the solution also and especially when you found it yourself - others still might profit from it

[krinn]

good you sort it out, sorry for the mistake.

I have a function for this: SuperLib.Airport.GetAirportTile(station_id)

Basically the same implementation as already mentioned. I just mention it if you are interested in the SuperLib library.
