Syntax

var returnValue = droidCanReach(droid,x,y);

Parameter	Type	Notes	Game version
droid	Droid object	An object representing the droid that will be travelling to x,y	3.1 Beta 1
x	Number	The x co-ordinate of the destination	3.1 Beta 1
y	Number	The y co-ordinate of the destination	3.1 Beta 1

Return value

Value	Type	Notes	Game version

Notes

Some other functions already include this check – such as pickStructLocation() and orderDroidLoc().

The function ignores player built structures (tank traps, walls, etc) and features (trees, skyscrapers, etc). The assumption is that you'll blow them up on the way to your destination.

In Warzone 3.1 RC3 and earlier, droids will not automatically shoot at obstacles that block their route. In Warzone 3.1.0 and above, they will shot at blocking obstacles.

Example

if ( droidCanReach(droid, x, y) ) {
  // do stuff
}

Availability 3.1 B1+

Requires:

Warzone 3.1 Beta 1 and above.
