active area

[iWitch]

There some outer area from player where animals/plants is going to sleep(?) stage

So question is how big this area where animals do something? what radius from player? is it depends on screen resolution?

inb4 look in source code

I think, it's about 2-3 screens around a player... Game unloads everything to save memory...

If I remember right, the sleep distance is determined by a number of factors (hardware you're running, version you're running, other stuff?).

 

This is what @squeek said, I'm not sure if this has changed.

And I was paraphrasing something I saw someone else say (probably simplex). I do know that it's not controlled by Lua, though, so it's something we can't be totally sure about unless a dev clarifies it. Edited March 21, 2014 by squeek

thx, it saved my time on looking into lua scripts.

but is it possible to hook when animal going to sleep stage and when back to active life?

longupdate?

Everything in their prefab function still runs, only the brain goes to sleep.

btw its interesting, but probably active area can be changed

 

		local x,y,z = GetPlayer().Transform:GetWorldPosition()		TheSim:SetActiveAreaCenterpoint(x,y,z)

functions OnEntitySleep and OnEntityWake is what i asking about or its just for ingame sleeping? Edited March 21, 2014 by iWitch
