safeDest()

Overview

Determine if, based on the script player's current knowledge of the map, whether a specific map location is safe or not.

Because this function is based on knowledge of the map, any enemy droids/structures that are in the fog of war (or otherwise not visible to your sensors - eg. ECM in effect) will not be checked, so use this with care. In other words, what looks like a safe place to your sensors might be a very dangerous place.

Syntax

var returnValue = safeDest(player,x,y);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
player	Number	The id of the player who's safety you care about (usually me)
x	Number	The x co-ordinate of the position on the map to check
y	Number	The y co-ordinate of the position on the map to check

Return value

Value	Type	Description
true	Boolean	The position appears safe, according to your sensors.
false	Boolean	The position is not safe.
<error>	Error	The player specified did not exist or the position specified was not on the map.

Example

// assuming "oil" is a feature object representing an oil resource...
if (safeDest(me,oil.x,oil.y)) {
  // build oil derrick
}
