Issue with action not triggering in parts of region

[Josh The Jaunty]

So the issue i'm having is that the text only appears if you approach the region from the left or bottom, it will not appear from the right or top.

(in the video title i refer to it as a bug, but that may not be true)

I also uploaded a attachment of what the regions look like in editor

all of the if then else triggers perform the same action the only difference is the first one is for a named character.

It's a known issue, have a look: [General] - game does not realise when region contains unit

thanks for the info, that's unfortunate.

Yes, but there's also a possible solution in linked thread.

I believe the units collision size is accounted for the enters region event, but the center point of the unit is still outside the region. You might need a custom "region contains unit" function, or instead create a new temporary position where you offset the units X and Y coordinates by the amount of its collision size towards the region, and then check if that point is inside said region.

 

[IcemanBo]

I don't think collision is accounted for the event, because the issue @Josh The Jaunty explains, only occurs at the top-right cell, which is added hiddenly. (link above)

All checks in general work though on this event, checking if the unit is inside the rect, work fine. The check itself does not take collision into account, but only the unit's center's coordinates:

function RectContainsCoords takes rect r, real x, real y returns boolean
    return (GetRectMinX(r) <= x) and (x <= GetRectMaxX(r)) and (GetRectMinY(r) <= y) and (y <= GetRectMaxY(r))
endfunction

function RectContainsUnit takes rect r, unit whichUnit returns boolean
    return RectContainsCoords(r, GetUnitX(whichUnit), GetUnitY(whichUnit))
endfunction

Now that I look, looks like you are correct. So when the event is registered the rect used is hiddenly expanded 32 units towards the right and top sides. And when checking whether the rect contains the unit that rect has to be expanded by 32 units to those directions as well.
