Chicken inside stone mine on neareastern badlands rms

[historic_bruno]

Noticed this while testing something, the AI has a bunch of units standing around since they can't reach the chicken, as seen here:

The map happened to be neareastern badlands, but I suppose the same bug could occur on other maps as well.

It can. I’ve seen chickens within the civic center as well.

It's due to the lack of information available to RMS about entities/actors footprint/obstruction.

See: #1589

EDIT: The chickens/pigs inside CC should be fixed AFAIK. For the trees: The unitAI should check reachability of target entities (for entities outside the map or surrounded by cliffs).

Any updates on this, now that the map generator has template info?

There is a collision detection implementation in the forum: ​http://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16242&page=10#entry297569

Like suggested by sanderd17 I will rewrite it to only check if an entity WOULD collide. The collision grid, however, should be always generated because it's faster than regenerating it for each check seperately.

ATM it checks all entities WHILE they are placed (Good for debug, unusable for decisions at generation time).

Any suggestions welcome (especially if the space/time needed for the collision grid's generation is worse than the much longer time needed when the grid is generated several times but only if the functionality is used at all)

I had a similar issue. My workers who gather wood decided it will be a good idea to try to chop a tree which was stuck in a stone mine. You can guess what happened.
