(sudura) Random point in Polygon *ALWAYS* picking the very far West?

[ivory fern]

Seems to be pretty random North to South but it is literally always on the very far west side.

    type: command
    name: suduraearth
    description: Teleport to a random spot in a continent
    usage: /suduraearth <&lt>continent<&gt>
    aliases:

    tab completions:

    script:
    - if !<server.flag[continents].keys.contains[<context.args.get[1]>]>:
        - narrate "<&c>Not a valid continent. Try again!"
        - stop
    - define tpLocation <server.flag[continents].get[<context.args.get[1]>].spawnable_blocks.random>
    - while !<[tpLocation].light.sky.is_more_than_or_equal_to[13]>:
        - define tpLocation <server.flag[continents].get[<context.args.get[1]>].spawnable_blocks.random>
    - teleport <player> <[tpLocation]>```

Narrated polygon (Europe) - Newlined each vertex: 
```polygon@earth,64.0,128.0,
-992.0,-5392.0,
-560.0,-6048.0,
2400.0,-7248.0,

-560.0,-3792.0,
-960.0,-3936.0,
-880.0,-4384.0'```

In literally 25+ attempts I'm ending up in Ireland; a miniscule part of the polygon majority of the time; and the rest south of that (still on the far west side but random up/down)

Guy spamming it right now over and over; always Ireland

have i completely fucked the polygon or smth?

This is Europe polygon demonstrated on GIMP; I added vertexes clockwise from Ireland (all continents have this bug so i'm using europe as example)

was gonna do the triangles; figured this would work ok but slow; very wrong

Coords definitely correct too (you can see the vague trend in the polygon narration)

You're getting spawnable_blocks from a flag, I'm assuming that's an AreaObject?

[ivory fern]

yup PolygonTag

server_flag[continents] is a map of polygons to names

[celest forge]

The wize of that actual list is likely massive, and Denizen as per default configuration limits how many entries will be added to a list from a tag

Cause the alternative is likely a OOM

[ivory fern]

yeah it is definitely way too many 😎

i guess it generates a certain way that caused this

lines left to right

[celest forge]

Yep, gunna want a more sane way of handling it

[ivory fern]

see the problem is i could not figure out how i get the "top y" value so i just expanded polygon min & max y

(extremely poor way to handle it)

[celest forge]

More, smaller area objects

[ivory fern]

so now its an insanely huge 3d polygon instead of a "reasonable" 2d one

u know how i could instead find any location and compare the top block in y instead of the location it finds

that was the idea but i couldnt find it so got lazy n now have this obscenely slow, very bad way

[celest forge]

!t locationtag.highest

[gusty pivot]

Tag: <LocationTag.highest>

Returns the location of the highest solid block at the location.

Group

world

Returns

LocationTag

This?

[ivory fern]

exactly

yes

thanks

[celest forge]

Np

[ivory fern]

lemme unfuck it and try again

appreciate it

[celest forge]

Good luck!
