AreaMarker

v1.4.8

A radius and an index. The index becomes the tag area_marker_ plus that number. Usable machines inside the radius can be grouped under that tag.

Find placed ones in the Scene panel with s:AreaMarker. See Filter.

Where you put it

Add it to an empty entity at the centre of the area. AreaRadius is the reach, in meters. Two markers with the same AreaIndex share one tag.

What you set

The spawn prefab area_marker stores this order.

Panel field	What to do with it
AreaRadius	Meters around the entity. The prefab stores 3.
AreaIndex	Number in the tag area_marker_0, area_marker_1, and so on. The prefab stores 0.
CheckToggle	While checked, the editor draws helpers. Opening the entity in the editor clears it. The prefab stores true.
NavMeshPrefabName	Navmesh prefab. The prefab leaves it empty.

What it does

Tag is area_marker_ plus AreaIndex. Anything that asks for usable machines in range uses AreaRadius. The name shown for a track is the entity name.

Where it lives

Managed script. The empty prefab is area_marker in SandBox\Prefabs\sp_editor_spawnpoints.xml. Dungeon scenes place that prefab and override the index.

Examples

Empty marker. SandBox\Prefabs\sp_editor_spawnpoints.xml, entity area_marker. Radius 3, index 0, CheckToggle on. No mesh.

Dungeon cell. SandBox\SceneObj\empire_dungeon_a. One area_marker sets AreaIndex to 4 and CheckToggle off. Another sets AreaRadius to 4 and AreaIndex to 1. The same prefab is overridden in the other culture dungeons.
