Help understanding claiming land, how to "capture"?
Currently in my game, players can use a tool to place pillars, once 2 pillars are placed it creates a wall. The idea is to claim land by walling off portions of the land.
I'm trying to figure out a way that once a completed area is walled in it would "Claim" that land for the player that built the walls. "Claim" going as far as just getting a numerical value for the amount of land you walled in.
Any articles/docs or just thoughts on this would be helpful.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Wondering if a grid system like this would be too laggy because of creating so many parts
01 | local base = game.Workspace.Baseplate |
02 | base.Transparency = 1 |
03 |
04 | local model = Instance.new("Model", game.Workspace) |
05 | model.Name = "Grid" |
06 |
07 | for i = 1, 50, 1 do |
08 | for j =1, 50, 1 do |
09 | local part = Instance.new("Part", model) |
10 | part.Name = i..", "..j |
11 | part.Anchored = true |
12 | part.Size = Vector3.new(8,0.25,8) |
13 | part.Position = Vector3.new(i*8, 0.125, j*8) |
14 | end |
15 | end |

You could create a Region3 by using the farthest extents of the walls and go from there Gey4Jesus69 2705 — 6y

Although that would only work effectively if the enclosed area had two sets of parallel sides Gey4Jesus69 2705 — 6y

Hmm, yeah any completed "room" could be any number of shapes. I appreciate your thoughts though. I'm stumped atm GoodCallMrOlsen 70 — 6y

If you're using a grid-based system, you could try a flood-fill algorithm. RubenKan 3615 — 6y

id like to rephrase gioni01's comment by saying that a region3 only works for rectangles, not all parallelograms theking48989987 2147 — 6y

@RubenKan, Flood-fill looks like a good choice, How would i identify when a walled off area is completed? GoodCallMrOlsen 70 — 6y
