====== Kalli - SnappingTool  ======

The latest version of this cpack, specifically adapted for vanilla unit placement, can be found in colony map #4708 Downstream River Battle.

===== Purpose ===== 

The Snapping Tool looks for the nearest suitable cell, within a certain range of the cursor cell. 

This greatly facilitates unit placement of units on bad/uneven terrain or on terrain with a lot of other units present.

===== Controls =====

  * Click LMB (left mouse button) to place 1 unit. 
  * Hold Shift + hold LMB to place multiple units. 
  * Hold Alt + scroll to change the placement range.
  * Change the range to 0 to disable the snapping tool.

===== Additional Info =====

  - A red circle + white cross on the cursor cell means that either you've reached your buid limit, or no suitable cell was found within range. 
  - A green cross highlights the nearest suitable cell, so click LMB and the unit will be placed there. 
  - If you hold the mouse cursor still over a single cell and hold shift+LMB, then it will place 4 units per second. Move the mouse around fast, and it can place up to 30 units per second. 
  - Miners snap to terrain with 75% resource coverage. If you want to place your miners with perfect coverage of the resource patch, then you'll still need to look closely while placing them. 
  - Bomberpads are not yet supported.
  - Dark Towers are ignored while placing units, but units cannot connect while in the darkness, so they won't be constructed.

===== Adding your own units to the snapping tool =====

At the start of the script, there exists a series of lists to which you should add your unit. It is important that the first 4 lists have the same list length and same order. So to add a new unit, it's best to add the GUID to the end of the first 2 lists + the footprint width (x-axis) + length (z-axis) to the end of the next 2 lists.
