Understanding the X, Y, and Z

08-13-17, 01:54 PM

So, yeah, Algebra and I did not get a long in school. We simply just agree to disagree.

While I understand (to a degree) the concept of 3 dimensions of X, Y and Z, especially in the concept of flight sims.

When it comes to a "ceiling" or surface level (ground level) in doing something as relatively simple as adding the variable of units to potentially be encountered in a mission per:

//Enemy Ships
NumberOfEnemyUnits=1-2,2-3,2-3,3-4,1-2 (default is: 1-1,1-1,1-1,1-1,1-1)
CombatBehaviour=OFFENSIVE,DEFENSIVE,OFFENSIVE,OFFE NSIVE,OFFENSIVE
EnemyUnitMissionCritical=FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,F ALSE
EnemyShipClasses=wp_skr_riga,wp_mpk_poti|wp_skr_ri ga,wp_ms_leninskiy_komsomol|wp_vtr_yuniy_partizan, wp_fv_trawler|wp_vtr_yuniy_partizan,wp_ss_romeo|wp _ss_whiskey
FormationCruiseSpeed=8

//Ship positions and headings, otherwise build into a formation
UsePresetPositions=TRUE
PlayerPosition=-246,269
PlayerHeading=170

//AI Nav Waypoints
//Array of Vector 2 positions
//Must be enough for maximum number of enemy ships
//Riga
EnemyWaypoints=-230,140|-210,30
//Poti Riga
EnemyWaypoints=-160,0|190,-40
//Merchant 1
EnemyWaypoints=-260,320|-180,-50
//Merchant 2
EnemyWaypoints=-270,320|-510,290
//Merchant 3
EnemyWaypoints=-280,330|-510,290
//Lurking Sub
EnemyWaypoints=0,-34|-60,-30|-30,0

MissionPosition=-170,-80

My question, uncertainty is that of in adding in bold another unit spawn. I'm not clear on which is which axis. (again, I know it's simple question/answer) just not sure on which is which.

Thanks in advance. (if we can actually add more spawn points?)

There is no Z in map coordinates, just X and Y.

The first set is point A, and the second set is point B. They move from point A to B, to C and so on, I think.

You see the "lurking sub" has 3 points (A,B,C), whereas the others only have 2 (A and B).

You have as many spawn points as vessels.
