FloodFillTerrain(<-posX <-posZ <-minHeight <-maxHeight <-maxSize) ->listOfCells

Returns a list of 2d vectors representing map coordinates that satisfy the following conditions:

• The set is connected.
• The set is empty or contains (posX, posZ)
• The set is filled only with squares at height between min_height inclusive and max_height exclusive. (i.e. if set to 3 and 6, it will grab cells with a height of 3, 4, or 5.
• MaxSize is the upper bound limit for cell iteration. It is not directly related to the size of the list that is returned. The number of Cells returned is the number of cells that fit the criteria specified.

Warning: This currently has a bug (current for 1.4), and will accept heights 1 tile below min_height, so a min height of 3 will add tiles with a height of 2 as well, but not tiles with a height of 1.

FloodFillTerrain(GetUnitCell(self) 1 20 999999) ->listOfCells

FloodFill starts at the center and looks at the four adjacent cells - above, left, right, below. If the cell matches the criteria, it is added to a list.

Now FloodFill iterates over each of the cells in the list, but not checking cells that has been checked in a previous iteration. So, assuming the cell “above” matched criteria and is in the list, will cause it's left (also diagonal left from start cell), above, right (again, also diagonal right from start cell), but not below, since that has already been checked.

This process iterates for as many iterations as “maxsize” and the total number of cells returned and their locations are dependent on the topology of the terrain.
