DEMANDS!?
You will get a MUCH more favorable response from this community if you couch things as requests or possible enhancements rather than as a demand.
The circle definition is quite useful for many things - no navigation & exclusion zones, patrol areas and so forth. If the reference points are not highlighted then they are not much of a distraction - and you can make them invisible. You can actually create areas with a different number of reference points and name them using Lua. Here is some sample code I've used with some modifications from the original creator.
-- Create reference points around an object on the world map
-- Written by Baloogan
-- Modified draw_circle by Yautay
-- Modified by Wayne Stiles (2016-11-14)
---------------------------------------------------
function draw_circle(a, b, First_Pt, Last_Pt, Num_Pts, txt) -- ([lat,lon], First_Pt, Last_Pt, Number_of_Pointsts, name)
if txt == nil then
txt = ""
end
lat1 = a.latitude
lon1 = a.longitude
r = b / 60
-----
for i = First_Pt, Last_Pt do -- Consecutive integer numbers
th = 2 * math.pi * i / Num_Pts
rlat = lat1 + r * math.cos(th)
rlon = lon1 + r * math.sin(th) / math.cos(math.rad(lat1))
ScenEdit_AddReferencePoint({
side = 'PlayerSide',
lat = rlat,
lon = rlon,
name = txt..i,
highlighted = "yes"})
end
end
---------------------------------------------------
Owner = "Coalition"
Unit_Name = "XcenterX"
Radius = 25
Number_of_Points = 12
First_Pt = 00
Last_Pt = 11
Point_Names = "AEW2-"
---------------------------------------------------
local unit = ScenEdit_GetUnit({side=Owner, name=Unit_Name})
draw_circle({latitude=unit.latitude, longitude=unit.longitude}, Radius, First_Pt, Last_Pt, Number_of_Points, Point_Names)
Thewood1 is absolutely correct, this should be posted in the request thread. Personally, I do not respond well to demands and never have.
