How to check if point is buildable

[Melonslise]

I'm making an ai and I need to know if a building can be built at the given point to make sure the ai never randomly selects an unbuildable point and therefor delays its progress.

Perhaps with this boolean condition:

• Pathing trigger
  • Conditions
    • (Terrain pathing at (<Area of your building>) of type Buildable is off) Equal TRUE

I'm guessing that only works for terrain? What about other buildings?

It checks if that part of the terrain is buildable or not. That's pretty much explain it.

Alright, I'll try it. Thanks.

I did a quick test, it works even for buildings, not just terrain type.
However, this condition checks if a point is buildable. There's probably a way to check it for the area of each building about to be constructed, but that's not something i'm familiar with, sorry :/

For anyone interested I've managed to find another way. Ignore the leaks.

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • ai_unit_temp Not equal to No unit
  • Then - Actions
    • Custom script: loop
    • Unit - Order ai_unit_temp to build a |cffFF8824Barracks at (Random point in (Region centered at (Position of ai_unit_capital[(Player number of (Picked player))]) with size (1024.00, 1024.00)))
    • Custom script: exitwhen GetUnitCurrentOrder(udg_ai_unit_temp) != String2OrderIdBJ("none")
    • Custom script: endloop
  • Else - Actions

Have a look at PathingLib v1.6.

function IsTerrainBuildable takes real x, real y returns boolean
