Is it something like "0,0" or is it the two numbers added up (in this exmaple "0") or is it something different? Thanks in advance.

Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Sunday, August 20 2006 08:23 Profile Homepage #1 The first section (0,0) is number 0. (1,0) is number 1, (2,0) is 2 etc. Once its gone all through the (x,0) row, it starts with (x,1) row. I hope that wasn't too confusing. Basically it starts with 0 in the NW corner. Then keeps adding one as it goes east, and restarts at the west each time. I tested this in every outdoor section of my 3x3 scenario. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Sunday, August 20 2006 08:56 Profile Homepage #2 So, if I understand you correctly, in a world of 5x5, the sections (4,1) and (4,2) are respectively 17 and 18, is that correct? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Sunday, August 20 2006 09:22 Profile #3 No, I think it would be 21 and 22. In a world of w width, the outdoor section (x,y) is represented by the number (x * w + y). At least that is how I remember it. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.
