Member Function Documentation

BuildTunnel()

static bool AITunnel::BuildTunnel ( AIVehicle::VehicleType  vehicle_type, TileIndex  start  )

static

Builds a tunnel starting at start.

The direction of the tunnel depends on the slope of the start tile. Tunnels can be created for either rails or roads; use the appropriate AIVehicle::VehicleType. As an extra for road, this functions builds two half-pieces of road on each end of the tunnel, making it easier for you to connect it to your network.

Parameters

start	Where to start the tunnel.
vehicle_type	The vehicle-type of tunnel to build.

Precondition

AIMap::IsValidTile(start).

(vehicle_type == AIVehicle::VT_ROAD && AIRoad::IsRoadTypeAvailable(AIRoad::GetCurrentRoadType())) || (vehicle_type == AIVehicle::VT_RAIL && AIRail::IsRailTypeAvailable(AIRail::GetCurrentRailType())).

Exceptions

AIError::ERR_AREA_NOT_CLEAR
AITunnel::ERR_TUNNEL_CANNOT_BUILD_ON_WATER
AITunnel::ERR_TUNNEL_START_SITE_UNSUITABLE
AITunnel::ERR_TUNNEL_ANOTHER_TUNNEL_IN_THE_WAY
AITunnel::ERR_TUNNEL_END_SITE_UNSUITABLE

Returns

Whether the tunnel has been/can be build or not.

Note

The slope of a tile can be determined by AITile::GetSlope(TileIndex).

No matter if the road pieces were build or not, if building the tunnel succeeded, this function returns true.

GetOtherTunnelEnd()

static TileIndex AITunnel::GetOtherTunnelEnd ( TileIndex  tile )

static

Get the tile that exits on the other end of a (would be) tunnel starting at tile.

If there is no 'simple' inclined slope at the start tile, this function will return AIMap::TILE_INVALID.

Parameters

tile	The tile that is an entrance to a tunnel or the tile where you may want to build a tunnel.

Precondition

AIMap::IsValidTile(tile).

Returns

The TileIndex that is the other end of the (would be) tunnel, or AIMap::TILE_INVALID if no other end was found (can't build tunnel).

Note

Even if this function returns a valid tile, that is no guarantee that building a tunnel will succeed. Use BuildTunnel in AITestMode to check whether a tunnel can actually be build.

IsTunnelTile()

static bool AITunnel::IsTunnelTile ( TileIndex  tile )

static

Check whether the tile is an entrance to a tunnel.

Parameters

tile	The tile to check.

Precondition

AIMap::IsValidTile(tile).

Returns

True if and only if the tile is the beginning or end of a tunnel.

RemoveTunnel()

static bool AITunnel::RemoveTunnel ( TileIndex  tile )

static

Remove the tunnel whose entrance is located at tile.

Parameters

tile	The tile that is an entrance to a tunnel.

Precondition

AIMap::IsValidTile(tile) && IsTunnelTile(tile).

Exceptions

AIError::ERR_OWNED_BY_ANOTHER_COMPANY

Returns

Whether the tunnel has been/can be removed or not.
