Day 23 - Finally back to normal NPCs

Finishing bringing the NPCs into the new CellLoc reality.

NPCs back to what passes for normal

To get the multiple NPCs to fill in top-left to bottom-right, had to change the y-position calc a bit:

} else {
    Vector3 position;
    int xPos = c.idx % c.dim;
    int yPos = c.idx / c.dim;
    position.x = c.x - 0.5f; // left side
    position.x += (1f / (c.dim * 2f)); // first position
    position.x += xPos * (1f / c.dim);
    position.y = (-1f) * c.y + 0.5f; // top side
    position.y -= (1f / (c.dim * 2f)); // first position
    position.y -= yPos * (1f / c.dim);
    position.z = (-0.1f) * (c.z + layer);
    return position;
}

To get the camera to the correct position looking in the right direction when we hit N:

if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.N)) {
    CellLoc randomNpcCell = npcManager.locateRandomNpc();
    Vector3 randomNpcPos = CLUtils.CellLocToVector3(randomNpcCell, 1);
    mainCamera.lookAtNpc(randomNpcPos);
    mapManager.UpdateZ(randomNpcCell.z);
}

public void lookAtNpc(Vector3 npcPos) {
    transform.position = new Vector3(npcPos.x, npcPos.y, npcPos.z - 15f);
    transform.LookAt(npcPos);
}

We also cached the Renderer and negated all of the z-offsets in NpcScript, and flipped the arrow image we’re using for hatred. Good enough?

Another short one today. Tomorrow we’ll do something about this:
