SkyLight Detection with cLineBlockTracer - tigerw - 08-26-2013
Hi!
I want to try to solve the zombies burning in a cave issue, so I thought I'll use lineblocktracer to trace upwards until the height of the chunk is reached. I was wondering what the correct syntax for it is?
Apparently it takes a World, a Callback, and 6 doubles. In zombie.cpp, I have:
Code:
#include LineblockTracer.h
...
*callback I copied from World.cpp*
cLineBlockTracer::Trace(GetWorld(), Callback, GetPosX, GetPosY, GetPosZ, GetPosX, *value for chunk height, how can I use cChunk::Height here?*, GetPosZ)However, it tells me that the overloaded function doesn't have the correct argument list. Why is this? Thanks!

Why use such a heavy caliber to solve this simple issue?
Just query the SkyLight value at the block coords, if it is 15, the block is fully day-lit.

Would it not be easy to check if the Y Pos is equal or higher then cChunk::Height?
RE: SkyLight Detection with cLineBlockTracer - tigerw - 08-26-2013
Wait, you can check the block light value of a block? Awesome!
So, how would I do it?
RE: SkyLight Detection with cLineBlockTracer - NiLSPACE - 08-26-2013
cWorld::GetBlockSkyLight(BlockX, BlockY, BlockZ) or
cWorld::GetBlockBlockLight(BlockX, BlockY, BlockZ)
(yes its GetBlockBlockLight)

Shouldn't it be getblockskylight?
RE: SkyLight Detection with cLineBlockTracer - NiLSPACE - 08-26-2013
Yes I already editted my post

Thanks, I'll try them all.

The only problem with light is that it may go out of sync with the world contents for short whiles - when the player places blocks, for example, the light is not recalculated immediately; it will be recalculated on a different thread in a little while. So it is possible for the light values to actually be wrong. I don't think it matters for most practical purposes, just be aware of that
