UNITPOS.DAT

---

There are 80 records of 14 values of one byte each. 1120 bytes in total.

unitpos[0] - Y position. 255 if unit specifically unused. unitpos[1] - X position. unitpos[2] - Z position. (0 is top level). unitpos[3] - unitpos[4] - unitpos[5] - unitpos[6] - Seems to be the same number for all records, but does vary between saves. unitpos[7] - Always 0?

unitpos[8] -

My notes:

Always seems to be 255 for X-Com controlled (as opposed to owned) units.

Perhaps this dictates AI style for this unit or something?

NKF notes:

255 for XCOM, 2, 1 and 0 for floaters?

( 8) 4: 0 = Left section of unit, 1 = right side of unit. ( 16) 5: 0 = Upper side of unit, 1 = lower side of unit. ( 32) 6: Only seems to flag for certain tank parts.
