Provides a keybinding (shift+ctrl+v by default) that paste multiple units using the sandbox mode. It also adds a slider (exponential scale) and input box to the sandbox panel to select how many units to paste. - https://github.com/JustinLove/bulk_create_units - http://wondible.com/pa/bulk_create_units_v2.2.1.zip Paste formation is previewed. Preview turns on when changing unit, number, or formation, and turns off after a paste. You can manually toggle the preview if you want the other state (shift+ctrl+z by default). Next-formation (shift+ctrl+f by default) to change between grid, area, and parade. Parade formation ignores unit/slider and creates one of each unit (don't forget to kill the ragnarok) Parades are in toolbox formation, it was written with Sandbox Unit Organizer in mind, but the stock toolbox will work if it is currently open. Issues - PA Sliders are not bidirectional, so updating the text will not change the slider (69721) - The current grid wrapping algorithm breaks down as you wrap around to the other side of the planet. Changes ## 2.2.1 - fixes duplicated bulk paste bar every time you open and close sandbox menu which stops you closing or opening it - Thanks Ferret Master ## 2.2.0 - Previews are player colored - Fix preview breakdown if non unit-list units were selected ## 2.1.1 - Fix compatibility with sandbox changes circa 113034 ## 2.1.0 - Unit paste preview - Keybind to toggle preview - Keybind to change formations - Area formation - Parade formation (one of each) - Stop using `global_mod_list` for keybinds
I did not meticulously place 200 some single laser towers in a perfect (but projected on a sphere) grid by hand.
No, jaja I wasn´t explicit enough. Does this mean we will have a square and a line commando to place them? Both I mean?
Right now it's just a square, using a spiral traversal to make it the right size for the number of units. I haven't quite figured out Uber's distance calculations, so that is approximate. Doesn't yet account for bad placements or falling off the edge of the planet. I'll see if I can get to a sphere pattern to handle larger numbers.
Bulk Create Units 2.0.0 - Units are distributed in a wrapped grid approximately based on regular placement spacing. - Units (e.g. mex) that require features will only be placed on those features - Interface with Puppetmaster changed - Raycast/fixup/`create_unit` instead of `unit.debug.paste` - Using unitInfoParser by `Cola_Colin` to load unit size placement - Requirejs for better error messages and modularity
Not sure when I'll be able to get back to expanding this. If somebody wants to solve some linear equations for me, that would help (right side is approximate) Code: c + 5m + 4p + 0.5s = 5.5 Wall (line) c + 4m + 4p + 1s = 14 Mine (sphere) c + 6.8m + 6.8p + 18s = 60 Single Laser (line) c + 30m + 40p + 2s = 56 Air Factory (line) c + 50m + 60p + 2s = 82 Adv Air Factory (line) c + 8.58m + 8.58p + 100s = ~215 Radar (sphere) Best ones I've found so far: c =0, m = 0, p = 1.25, s = 3 c = 10, m = 0, p = 1, s = 2 I think something different happens with the sphere builds; I was optimizing for the landmines rather than the walls, which don't have a proper formation yet anyway.
Wolfram Alpha knows. So without the sphere equations, you have an exact unique solution of: Code: c = -1.21529 m = 0.0604188 p = 1.23958 s = 2.90974 (source) With the sphere equations, the closest solution is: Code: c = 6.64018 m = 0.245943 p = 0.977939 s = 1.99457 (source) Not sure if this helps you.
Bulk Create Units 2.0.1 - Fix for degenerate fixup location for naval units on waterless planet types
Not quite ready to release this - UI still annoys me and a lot of the code may be extracted at some point - but the parade formation (one of each) may be of interest to a handful of people who wouldn't mind grabbing a github branch too much. https://github.com/JustinLove/bulk_create_units/tree/spread
Bulk Create Units 2.1.0 Looks like I never got around to releasing this. - Unit paste preview - Keybind to toggle preview - Keybind to change formations - Area formation - Parade formation (one of each) - Stop using `global_mod_list` for keybinds
