There was a problem hiding this comment.
im not entirely sure how the conversion of "coordinates" to "elmos" are done. In the description of the widget (which i should probably change now..) it says "sets a distance of 8 elmo transport range", but the distance squared value that was being used was 256, which is 16 squared. So i just assumed elmos are 1/2 a pixel. I think ive seen this somewhere else as well, but not sure.
Anyways ideally, I want the "transportLoadRangeElmo" to be exactly that, a range in elmos that can be easily changed in code in the future, and then the "transportLoadRangeDistanceSquared" to handle the elmo conversion, and square it for use in the code.
Am i right about the conversion of elmos? If not I can just double the elmo variable

Transports should now load most moving allied units when they are 30 elmo from them, instead of just following them around and constantly stopping. At this value, charons should be able to consistently pick up moving glaives. Anything smaller and faster than that will still have trouble being picked up though (fleas, darts, daggers). Not really sure if that matters much though.
Also changed the code so its a bit more clear.
