Suggestion - Element Ranges for groups #3

Open Draylar opened 4 years ago

Draylar commented 4 years ago

I'm currently using ElementRange to limit the number of floors in my tower. If we say it has a total of 10 layers (the first of which is the entrance), I could set the limit of the layers to 8, which leaves the only possible last element as the roof.

This works well until I want to add different variations of layers. I could set each one to a certain limit (eg. 2 variations, limit of 4 each), but I can't do this past 8 unique elements. What might be useful is a limit for a group of elements-- any element generated within this group is counted towards the limit, and anything past that won't be generated.

This would let me say, "limit of 8 between blacksmiths, libraries, and lavapools", so the middle of the tower would be comprised of a total of 8 between those 3 options randomly.

Note that element placement ranges are not designed to be used for contiguous elements - tho they do have that effect for non-branching structures. For example, there is no way to enforce a minimum. I'll have to think about it.

I will grant that it is annoying when Minecraft generates an obnoxiously tall or short tower, however.

I'm more concerned about the max than the minimum, but yeah.
