<![CDATA[Get Playable Area of Map]]>Is there a function to get the playable area of a map? I've looked before, but never found one.

Would like to keep Support Bases from spawning in non-playable sections of maps, where players can't reach them.

I didn't realize I needed to copy the entire function CDRMV provided. I thought it was a built-in function like GetMapSize().

When it didn't work, I headed over to Github to look at more examples. Of course, they all used getPlayableArea(), which I copied.

Then, it finally occurred to me CDRMV meant for me to copy the entire function. Except, I forgot I'd switch my syntax to getPlayableArea(). Only took an hour of troubleshooting to see it.

There is also a user sync event with the key NewPlayableArea when the sim updates the playable area.
Though this was added in March 2024 so you have to fall back to size[1] and size[2] for old replays.

I use this Function below in my Mods several times.
Mostly for my callable Reinforcements and Air Strikes.


function GetPlayableArea()
    if ScenarioInfo.MapData.PlayableRect then
        return ScenarioInfo.MapData.PlayableRect
    end
    return {0, 0, ScenarioInfo.size[1], ScenarioInfo.size[2]}
end
