Always locX?

[Solved]

From a quick look at your code if the Z axis of your starting tile is -5 or less you will always loop. You are moving and checking X (east/west) and Y (north/south) but nothing appears to be moving your Z (up/down) for locXZ.

(Updated the code above to make locXZ and locYZ more 'legible')

locX_Z = landTileX.Z; //Update to the Z coordinate to the tile we're checking
and
locY_Z = landTile.Z; //Update to the Z coordinate to the tile we're checking
update the Z-check coordinate to the current tile's Z value.. the issue is, it doesn't seem to be incrementing locX for some reason

for (int locX =  target.X; locXZ <= -5 && dir.X == 1 ? locX < 7158 : locX > 0); locX += dir.X )

the 'debug' output is always:
"locX: (always the same X), locY: (always the same Y)"
"Direction: (X:1, Y:0)"

Thanks though!

ok, thank you for the extra information. If i get time later on tonight I will look into it further.

Nevermind.. got it sorted!

Thanks anyway!

if you do not mind would you please post what you changed the code to. In case anyone else is trying to do something similar.

Actually, I intend to release the complete system once it's finished.

What I'm working on is a procedural generator for player terraforming, using Praxiiz's UltimaLive system.
The objective is to allow players to edit the map by performing various actions (harvest grass, dig dirt/holes, mine rock, collect water, etc), and then be able to place those objects if the parameters are met (in this specific piece, I was developing water placement.)

ahh cool. I look forward to the release of the system.

Same here. This sounds amazing...

Here's what I've gotten done so far.. still needs some work on the borders and optimization though.
