Move a zone

[+Delta68]

I'm working in a Geocache Wherigo where the player has to visit four different zones in any order and input a simple on-digit answer at each point.

 

These will then be displayed directly as the co-ordinates for the final location - no 'equals' in the code for me!

 

These may or may not be correct but I want the arrow to point to the co-ordinates they entered. This means I need to move the final zone to where the player thinks it is.

 

So basically, I want to move the final to a set of given co-ordinates and create a small zone around it.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

I don't know about moving a zone after it's created, but I would start looking at the tutorial cartridge's code. Create a zone based on the coordinates entered, setting the previously entered one to inactive if need be.

 

Without a list of properties for each object (zone, item, task, etc.), we will just have to guess. Man, I can't wait for the technical documentation...

Hmm... thanks for the reply.

Sleeping on a problem really does work! I woke up this morning with a better idea.

Rather than direct the players to where they think they ought to go, I've decided to have a 'check sum' of the entered digits. Not a sum as such as there would be too much margin for error; but dividing and subtracting the digits... that sort of thing and only activate the final location if it all tallies

 

This way it should not be possible to look at the source for the answer

 

Thanks

YES!! You can move a zone!

 

Using the code from the Egg Hunt

 

zoneFinal.Points=GetZonePoints(ZonePoint(52,-1,0))

 

However, the zone doesn't show in the emulator but is detected OK

 

Strangely, if I add the radius parameter to GetZonePoints eg:

zoneFinal.Points=GetZonePoints(ZonePoint(52,-1,0),50)

 

it doesn't work! The zone does not get moved or anything
