[Solved] RegionAddRect works with non adjacent rects?

[Avahor]

1 - Yes or not??
2 - Is there some way to do this?
3 - I should stop trying to divide by zero?

type ur number...
EDIT: the correct answer is Yes, It's possible. mister moderator please gy this.

You should totally divide by zero. This way, you save valuable execution time by telling the thread it can stop at this point.

@RegionAddRect: The cells the region gains by using that function is by one cell column/row greater than the rect's actual limits at right/top.

So you should rather replace it by something like this:

globals
    rect dummyRect = Rect(0., 0., 0., 0.)
endglobals

function RegionAddRectFixed takes region reg, rect rec returns nothing
    local real minX = GetRectMinX(rec)
    local real minY = GetRectMinY(rec)
    local real maxX = GetRectMaxX(rec) - 32
    local real maxY = GetRectMaxY(rec) - 32

    if ((maxX < minX) or (maxY < minY)) then
        return
    endif

    call SetRect(dummyRect, minX, minY, maxX, maxY)

    call RegionAddRect(reg, dummyRect)
endfunction

Or use return

Except that return stops the current function, while set i = 1/0 stops the entire thread.

I don't use it that lot though.

The irony is that crashing the thread is very performance-intensive

the 3rd point is my own failed irony!..
I got some crashes trying to add non adjacents rects to a region. I believed that it was caused by something related to zero division...(those infinite errors) but my error was on region initialization

globals region myregion = CreateRegion() endglobals was my horrible fault!
