Hey guys. Im just wondering if anyone has made a function that finds the closest point in every direction. (that didnt describe it very well) so i have this TPA (uploaded picture) the TPA is in Red. I want to get the box around the furnace symbol. Even if someone hasnt made the function i need, maybe a suggestion on how i could do it? I cant figure it out and ive looked through wizzy plugin/simba but cant find anything i could use…

Couldn't you use MiddleTPA/MiddleTPAEx? If you do it by hand the first time to find it, then if MiddleTPA = whatever, then it's true? I hope you know what I mean.. :) It'd work, I think.

Or GetTPABounds.

Hmm I think this could work:

Function FurnaceBox(TPA : TPointArray): TBox;
Var
  Bounds : TBox;
  orangeTPA : TPointArray;
Begin
  Bounds := GetTPABounds(TPA);
  FindColorsTolerance(orangeTPA, FurnaceOrangeColor, Bounds.X1, Bounds.Y1, Bounds.X2, Bounds.Y2);
  {HSL check:
  For I := 0 To High(orangeTPA) Do
  Begin
    ColorToHSL(GetColor(orangeTPA[I].X, orangeTPA[I].Y), H, S, L);
    If (H >= MinRange) and (H <= MaxRange) Then //can be H, S or L, even RGB
    Begin
      SetLength(NewTPA, Length(NewTPA) + 1);
      newTPA[High(newTPA)] := TPA[I];
    End;
  End; }
  Result := GetTPABounds(orangeTPA);
End;

But that'll work if you do an accurate HSL(or RGB) check that doesn't confuse with other items(dropped things, the kebab symbol maybe?) with a low range(less than 10). FindSymbol('furnace') should work fine too.

Thats pretty much what im doing right now. it works but if i could find the wall surrounding the furnace then i can find the middle of the furnace room really easily.

Wouldn't GetTPABounds do that? And isn't it always the same shape/size? :p Seems like it could be pretty simple.

No GetTPABounds doesnt work. if you look at the picture you will see that there is the other rooms beside the furnace room and my TPA is the Red lines. There are those lines from the other rooms that i do not want to have in my TPA. How is the shape/size going to help?

I've thought about this many times; Never did it. Here's an idea:

find symbol center. Store it as TP.
Find Walls. Store as TPA.

and now just simply find four points.

Draw a vertical line from the TP, and the first point up and the first point down should be the top and bottom walls of the furnace.

Draw a horizontal line and you should find yourself the right and left walls ;)
Then you can easily find the center of the room ;)

Give it a go, and let me know if it works :p I might have some work to do in AK soon :)

e: If you're not sure how to do it, here's an inefficient way:

Function FindRoom(WallTPA: TPointArray; Symbol: TPoint): TPoint;
var
  i: integer
  Room : TBox;
begin

  while Room.x1 = 0 do
  begin
    inc(i)
    Symbol.x - i;
    if PointInTPA(Point(Symbol.x-i, Symbol.y)) then
      Room.x1 := Symbol.x - i;
  end;  

end;

Perhaps it would be much faster to sort through the WallTPA first. Find all the points that have the same x value as your Symbol and then just get the two closest ones to your point. An algorithm similar to bubblesort short be fast enough. Remeber that you'll need one point above and one below.

(Repeat process with y coord)

var
  x, y, i: integer;
  b: boolean;
begin
  b := true;
  x := 500000;

  while b do
  begin
    b := false;
    for i := 0 to High(WallTPA) do
      if WallTPA[i].x < x then
        if WallTPA[i].x > Symbol.x then // for finding the point above.
        begin
          x := WallTPA[i].x ;
          b := true;
        end;
  end;

e2: Heh, I'll definitely be using something like this next time I do an Alkharider.. :)

WOW! Thats the most genius idea i have seen in a while! :D I would have never thought of that.

Take into consideration how many months it took me to come up with such a thing :p I first thought of it when I was doing my smelter… which has now been outdated for a few months, and i only just now thought of how to solve this problem. :p

Thanks! Ive been trying to figure out a way for awhile. Ill try to implement tonight or tomorrow sometime! thanks again!

Im pretty sure that the map is outdated and there is no longer that cactus-rock-cactus sandwich :P Thanks for your help
