Defining Distance Scales - Regional vs Locational - and "Areas"
Lots of qustions as I continue to build out my own world. Getting close to a public 1st release... I think.
- Is there a variable in the world builder that allows us to explain how distances relate between X,Y coordinates in different regions?
Why I want this capability:
If my Regions are planetary systems in a galaxy, the XY grid represents lightyears of travel.
If I also have Regions which are parts of a planet, then the XY grid for the locations represents a fractional scale of miles.
If I also have a Region which is defined as a starship (which itself acts as a traveling "Region" on the X Y grid, then the room locations inside the starship represent a far smaller XY number of feet.
- Is the radius variable literally only for how it displays on the map?
Not knowing how the XY grid interacts with the "radius" variable for a region and location, that makes potential character movement inside a space a problem.
Is the areas array: variable suitable for closed room areas within a location like a bedroom and a separate bathroom as part of a larger house?, or only similarly open accessible areas in a location aka a "great room layout" containing a kitchen and a dining area and a family room?
Is the areas array also intended to define locational interconnections? If not, what variable is?
