LuaPlayer::can_reach_for_build(position) -- Returns true if the player can reach this position for building as if the player tried to build it from cursor.
Currently there is no reliable way to get the build distance and Player.can_reach_entity returns true on ghosts no matter what the build distance is.

The player can always build ghosts at any distance... and can always reach ghosts at any distance to deconstruct them.

Correct. Which is why I would like a way to find the build_distance for reviving ghosts via script as long as they are inside the players build range.

So maybe access to these player prototype values would solve this:
Code: Select all
build_distance = 6,
drop_item_distance = 6,
reach_distance = 6,
item_pickup_distance = 1,
loot_pickup_distance = 2,
reach_resource_distance = 2.7,
Then you can just calculate the players reach distance and see if the distance to the position is less than this distance

That would work also and allow for even more flexibility.

I added the ability to read the different reach distances off the character runtime. Reading it off the character includes the force based bonus as well as the character based bonus.
