ds_grid_set_disk

With this function you can set a circular region of a grid to a certain value. You need to supply a starting grid cell (as an x and y axis coordinate) as well as the radius of the disk to set and the value that you wish to set the disk too, as shown by the illustration below:

DS grid set disk

 

Syntax:

ds_grid_set_disk(index, xm, ym, r, val);

ArgumentTypeDescription
indexDS GridThe index of the grid.
xmRealThe x position of the disk on the grid.
ymRealThe y position of the disk on the grid.
rRealThe radius of the disk on the grid.
valAnyThe value to set with the cells within the disk.

 

Returns:

N/A

 

Example:

ds_grid_set_disk(grid, ds_grid_width(grid) div 2, ds_grid_height(grid) div 2, 5, -4)

The above code will set a circular region with a radius of 5 cells in the DS grid indexed in the variable "grid" to a value of -4.
