[2.0.8] prototypes.max_beacon_supply_area_distance and get_supply_area_distance() should be from center of entity.

[wretlaw120]

prototypes.max_beacon_supply_area_distance measures the max distance a beacon can affect a building from the edge of the beacon. it would be much more convenient if it were from the center of the beacon, so that it isn't necessary to know the bounding box of the beacon when figuring out what machines are in range of it. (yes, if you have a beacon, you also know its bounding box, it is simply a matter of convenience, not needing to add the radius to the collision box)

Picture for clarification purposes:

The green line is 16 tiles, the red is 14, and the value printed by both the below commands is 14.

Code: Select all

/c game.print(prototypes.max_beacon_supply_area_distance)
/c game.print(prototypes.entity[game.player.selected.name].get_supply_area_distance()) --when the beacon is selected

And yes, I did check with only the vanilla beacon active. The value printed is 3, which is consistent with what I'm showing with the modded beacon.
