No way to tell if a tile contains a wall vs. hanger

[scj7t4]

Currently, there is no way to tell if a tile contains a wall. You can access the health of a tile to hint if there is one, but that does not differentiate between the case with a hanger.

This is in master with the python API

What about switching typeToAssemble to just type so that 0 will be wall 1 will be turret and 2 will be Hangar?

You might have trouble differentiating between a wall being dropped, a wall that is there and a wall that is dead.

Wall being dropped will have A positive turnsUntilAssembled A dropped wall will have a turnsUntilAssembled

[russleyshaw]

Empty, plain tile will have owner of 2, 0 health, 0 turnsUntilDropped A wall will have an owner of 0/1, turnsUntilDropped, and a health Hangar will have owner of 0/1 type of 3 and a health

Empty Tile

• Owner: 2
• turnsUntilDropped: 0
• type: 0
• health: 0

Deployed Wall Tile

• Owner: 0/1
• turnsUntilDropped: 0
• type: 0
• health: > 0

Deploying Wall Tile

• Owner 0/1
• turnsUntilDropped: > 0
• type: 0
• health: 0

Deploying Turret Tile

• Owner 0/1
• turnsUntilDropped: > 0
• type: 1
• health: 0

Hangar/Spawnable Tile

• Owner: 0/1
• turnsUntilDropped: 0
• type: 2
• health >= 0

What about assembling droids on tiles? You mentioned a new variable 'turnsUntilDropped' does this mean we will have both a 'turnsUntilDropped' and a 'turnsUntilAssembled'?

Still need to add this 'type' variable to the tile class, unless 'typeToAssemble' is what I'm looking for.
