ds_grid_value_disk_exists

Finds whether a value exists within a circular region off a grid.

Syntax:

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


Argument Description
index The index of the grid.
xm The x position of the disk on the grid.
ym The y position of the disk on the grid.
r The radius of the disk on the grid.
val The value to find.


Returns: Boolean


Description

With this function you can check to see if a specific value (real or string) is present within a circular area of a given ds_grid. If it is present the function will return true otherwise it will return false.


Example:

if ds_grid_value_disk_exists(grid, 5, 5, 5, val)
   {
   xpos = ds_grid_value_disk_x(grid, 5, 5, 5, val);
   ypos = ds_grid_value_disk_y(grid, 5, 5, 5, val);
   }

The above code checks a ds_grid for a specific value within a disk region. if it is found, it then stores the x and y position of the value in two variables for later use.
