R&D Dynamic Pod Placement

wghost81 · May 8, 2014

Amineri, yes, I've noticed it too. On battleships, for example, pods are often placed out of ship area. Aliens are actually placed at closest valid tile, but pods location seems invalid, although it was validated with FindClosestValidLocation.

Yes, seems Kismet events for Council missions affect only random Thinmen drop-downs. Not so sure about Final mission (Temple Ship), as I've seen spawn code inside Kismet. But anyway, Overmind manages preplaced pods only, so any dynamic Kismet pods should not be affected... theoretically. :smile:

A little OT, but is it your understanding that setting the DyanmicAliens[x] entries to none on the council mission maps (from Thin Men in most cases) will cause the engine to revert to the roaming pods that are rolled up in GetPossibleAliens ?

johnnylump, can't say for sure, as I haven't looked into this matter. But yes, default values have to be defined somewhere: either inside Kismet script, or inside placement code. Edited May 12, 2014 by wghost81

With much better instruments available than months ago :smile: I was able to test a lot of native functions of XComWorldData class. And seems, that I finally found the right combination.

With following changes to the current Random Pods mod version I'm not getting pods placed mid-air on my nightmare map Higway1 (I really start to hate this one... and URB_Bar too):

iTestPod = World().FindClosestValidLocation(World().GetPositionFromTileCoordinates(iPod[9] + Rand(iPod[7]), iPod[10] + Rand(iPod[8]), 0), false, false, true);
World().GetFloorTileForPosition(iTestPod, iPod[14], iPod[15], iPod[16], true);
iTestPod = World().GetPositionFromTileCoordinates(iPod[14], iPod[15], iPod[16]);

I will test it for a little more time and will also try to add true visibility check, instead of just spawning aliens 30+ tiles away from landing zone, to resolve a problem of aliens clustering on my second nightmare map Highway Fallen. Edited May 16, 2014 by wghost81

BTW, I also experimented with randomizing Z level and it works just fine. Except, some cases (yes, you've guessed it: Highway1), where valid tiles indeed exist out of reachable area. Those are sectoids, placed on the roof of the building:

Good news is — they teleport to the bridge in their turn. Bad news — they will teleport right behind player, as closest position seems to be the one, nearest to landing lone.

PS: one of the vanilla map points for this map is located mid-air, that's why players report aliens sometimes teleporting on top of the squad on this map.

I've used developer's console to test all the maps with new placing algorithm. So far, it looks much better than current mod version.

First: pods can be placed on the roofs now:

Second: bad pod placement happens rarely now. Alien Base, Battleship and Highway1 map placement is much better. Seems, there are some terrain elements on those maps, inaccessible, but valid for placement, so pods are sometimes placed there and warped to correct location at the start of their turn.

I was unable to check for path validity and actual visibility, as those operations depend on pawns and there are no pawns at the stage of determining spawn points. But I reduced no spawn radius to 30m (as I did for EU version). It can sometimes lead to pods activation in the very first turn, but it allows for better placement and VanDorn map finally looks good:

Here's PatchUPK code for the version I tested:

MOD_NAME=Random Alien Pods Mod
AUTHOR=wghost81 aka Wasteland Ghost
DESCRIPTION=Alien pods will spawn at random locations on maps.

Note: mod installs slowly! Please, don't touch anything and wait until the message
box appears.

Version info:
- Aliens should spawn out of squad and covert operative LOS.
- All pods, including Council missions pods, should patrol randomly.
- Commanders should spawn at random location inside UFO.
- Alien Base commander and Overseer will use their default spawn points.
- EXALT missions will actually have 3-4 pods on maps.
- Does not affect alien waves or drop-downs.

Known issues:
- Aliens may end up in weird places on some complex terrain (like Battleship),
  but they will be warped to nearby valid location in their turn anyway. It happens
  mostly with Cyberdiscs (and they still warp around in vanilla too).
- Aliens still tend to cluster near VanDorn on corresponding Council rescue mission.
  This map is just too small and narrow.
- Map loading time may increase.

ToDo:
- Meld on maps with no default Meld spawn points (+ existing spawn points randomization).
- Dynamic aliens drop-downs randomization.

Version: 2.0 for EW

Compatible with XCOM Enemy Within versions:
 - all

Compared to the previous version it appears that only XGDeployAI.GetPossibleSpawns (and the iPod variable array size) have changed.

I converted to UPKmodder-style formatting for including into Long War beta 10.

Here's the UE Explorer decompiled code:

function GetPossibleSpawns()
{
    local XComAlienPod kPod;
    local array<XComAlienPod> arrPods;
    local TRect arrRemove;
    local int iPod[18];
    local protectedwrite Vector iTestPod;

    iPod[0] = m_kSquad.arrPods.Length;
    // End:0x5E
    if(iPod[0] < 5)
    {
        iPod[1] = 3;
        iPod[2] = 2;
    }
    // End:0xB0
    else
    {
        // End:0x92
        if(iPod[0] < 7)
        {
            iPod[1] = 3;
            iPod[2] = 3;
        }
        // End:0xB0
        else
        {
            iPod[1] = 4;
            iPod[2] = 3;
        }
    }
    iPod[3] = World().NumX;
    iPod[4] = World().NumY;
    iPod[17] = World().NumZ;
    // End:0x1A2
    if(iPod[3] > iPod[4])
    {

Yes, you're right, Amineri, not other changes were made.

wghost81 · May 25, 2014

I was assembling a fix for LW beta 9a and noticed that iTestPod has 'protectedwrite' flag set, which is wrong. I can confirm it has this flag in beta 9a too. There's no such flag in Random Pods original code, so this must be a typo, which can potentially cause a problem. iTestPod flags should be all zero.
