Hi!
I was trying to figure out how to create rivers in fixed positions of the map, instead of randomizing them. Unfortunately, I get completely lost when trying to understand the code. Can you please tell me if given, for example, a set of N hexes (x,y), if it's an easy way to paint a river?
Thanks in advance.
Jose

For rivers you need to understand that you do not paint rivers across the hexes, instead they are linking hex corners, and each hex corner have always 3 hex neighbours and can lead into one of the 3 directions.
so understanding that hex positions are like: (0,0,0) (1,0,-1) etc river points are like
Corners around (0,0,0) are like:
(0.5, -0.5, -0.5)
(-0.5, 0.5, -0.5)
(-0.5, -0.5, 0.5)
(-0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
(0.5, -0.5, 0.5)
(0.5, 0.5, -0.5)
They are off from zero by 0.5
Does it help?

Hi, khash!
Thank you very much for your quick response. So the steps are:
1) I set the river start (hex + calculations of the corner). For example, RiverData startPoint = new RiverData(fPos) (where fPos is the hex coord already modificated to be a corner);
2) I set the next point (that is, another corner):
Vector3 nexPoint = new Vector3(-0.5f, 0.5f, -0.5f)
RiverData newWalker = new RiverData(walker.position + nexPoint);
walker.SetNext(newWalker);
prevWalker = walker;
walker = newWalker;
And then, how do I draw the river from the startPoint to the next one?
Thanks again,
Jose
