Saving unit coordinates/location to a variable

Post by Gwledig »

Hi Im having some issues trying to save a unit's current coords in a single variable so this can be filtered later allowing me to do an event when another unit is adjacent to that former coord, any ideas of the besy way to populate this in a variable macro please?

Store the locations that have your unit on.

If it is code challenge to solve it with variable macro, you need something like lua_function or formula to unpack the value again.

The way I would do it would be to store_locations with radius=1 to save the six hexes adjacent to the unit's current coords. That way, I could just use find_in when I filtered the location later.
