Object Generation loves building diagonally instead of in straight lines?

[austin_medic 109]

I got a bit of a problem when I returned to procedural object generation today, seems no matter what I do the game refuses to spawn VR blocks in a straight line. Instead it only builds diagionally and the blocks are not directly beside each other like they should be.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

EDIT:

Got it connecting the first and second block spawned, rest still don't connect to the first two, and are spaced apart.

My Code:

_object = _this select 0; //passing a classname as string to script for building.
_position = player;
_buildings = 0;
_newObjPos = [];
while{_buildings < 10} do
{
_centerpos = [(Getpos _position select 0) + 50 + round(random 200),(Getpos _position select 1) + 50 + round(random 200),(getpos _position select 2)]; 
_cObject = _object createVehicle _centerPos;
_cObject setPos _centerPos;
_amount = 10 + round(random 30);
_sideways = false;
_i = 0;
for "_i" from 0 to _amount do
{
	if(_i < 1) then
	{
		_newObjPos = [(Getpos _position select 0) + 1,(Getpos _position select 1),(getpos _position select 2)];
		if(_sideways) then
		{
			_newObjPos = [(Getpos _position select 0) + 1,(Getpos _position select 1),(getpos _position select 2)];
		}
		else
		{
			_newObjPos = [(Getpos _position select 0),(Getpos _position select 1) + 1,(getpos _position select 2)];
		};
	}
	else
	{
		_newObjPos = [(_newObjPos select 0) + 1,(_newObjPos select 1),(_newObjPos select 2)];
		if(_sideways) then
		{
			_newObjPos = [(_newObjPos select 0) + 1,(_newObjPos select 1),(_newObjPos select 2)];
		}
		else
		{
			_newObjPos = [(_newObjPos select 0),(_newObjPos select 1) + 1,(_newObjPos select 2)];
		};
	};
	_newObject = createVehicle[_object,_newObjPos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
	if(_i < 1) then
	{
		_newObjPos = [(Getpos _position select 0) + 1,(Getpos _position select 1),(getpos _position select 2)];
		if(_sideways) then
		{
			_newObjPos = [(Getpos _position select 0) + 1,(Getpos _position select 1),(getpos _position select 2)];
		}
		else
		{
			_newObjPos = [(Getpos _position select 0),(Getpos _position select 1) + 1,(getpos _position select 2)];
		};
	}
	else
	{
		_newObjPos = [(_newObjPos select 0) + 1,(_newObjPos select 1),(_newObjPos select 2)];
		if(_sideways) then
		{
			_newObjPos = [(_newObjPos select 0) + 1,(_newObjPos select 1),(_newObjPos select 2)];
		}
		else
		{
			_newObjPos = [(_newObjPos select 0),(_newObjPos select 1) + 1,(_newObjPos select 2)];
		};
	};
	_newObject setPos _newObjPos;
	_i = _i + 1;
	sleep 0.5;
};
_buildings = _buildings + 1;
sleep 1;
};

You add 1 to X coordinates in every case:

	if(_i < 1) then
	{
	_newObjPos = [(Getpos _position select 0) + 1,(Getpos _position select 1),(getpos _position select 2)]; // THIS RIGHT HERE
		if(_sideways) then

Even when you apparently want them to spawn along the Y.

And the 2m space is because the if(_i < 1) is run twice.

Right. Got it working now, thx.

BIS_fnc_relPos

Because screw trigonometry!

Because screw trigonometry!

it... makes... life... so... much... easier..........

edit:

got it building 4 walls and a roof. creating doorways still seems to be a bit glitchy,sometimes it deletes parts of a section of wall and other times it only deletes the bottom block thats supposed to be two blocks high....

edit edit: also got a problem with buildings clipping through each other when they're too close.

Just a heads up: It would probably be more apt to use the vector commands instead of BIS_fnc_relPos.

Actually, looking at your picutre, I'm kinda interested in what piece you're using to build your houses?

its the standard VR_Stand block, the reason they dont have horazontal lines in the bricks is because they are hidden inside each other when they are built, though you can see a tiny bit of Z-fighting going on with it clipping through the surface of other objects.
