Hello,

 

Working on a mod that sends Callouts based on jurisdiction. Is there any way to get a random position inside a zone based upon zone name?

 

Example:

 

Vector3 sandyPosition = WorldZone.GetRandomZonePositionByName("SANDY"); // some place inside Sandy shore
Vector3 eventPosition = World.GetNextPositionOnStreet(sandyPosition);

// Now we have a random street position in Sandy Shores!

I don't think something like this exists, but there are a few things you could try. You could generate random positions until you find one that is in the zone you want (could be slow). You could also get the coordinates of zones of interest, this could be their center or anywhere really. Then using that position you could generate a few random positions and most will be in your target zone.

Ok, I will do that using a central coordinate for each zone. 

 

One more question though, is it safe to say that increasing a coordinate value by 1 is equivalent to 1m of distance? For example, if a street starts at an X coordinate of 1000, and We move 200 meters along that X coordinate, is our  X coordinate exactly 1200 in the game world?

Yes, that's correct.
