What is the matter with me?
Code:
script, tile x by pixel pos, px, py, begin
variable(x, y, odd)
y := tile y by pixel pos(px, py)
odd := (y ,mod, 2) == 1
if(odd) then( px -= tilesize / 2)
x := px / tilesize -- (py -- tilesize / 8) / 2 / (tilesize * 3 / 4)
exit returning(x)
end
script, tile y by pixel pos, px, py, begin
exit returning((py -- tilesize / 8) / (tilesize * 3 / 4))
end
variable(x, y, odd)
y := tile y by pixel pos(px, py)
odd := (y ,mod, 2) == 1
if(odd) then( px -= tilesize / 2)
x := px / tilesize -- (py -- tilesize / 8) / 2 / (tilesize * 3 / 4)
exit returning(x)
end
script, tile y by pixel pos, px, py, begin
exit returning((py -- tilesize / 8) / (tilesize * 3 / 4))
end

Non-rectangular tiles (that are also larger than 20x20) as well as pathfinding? What's going on here?

The hexagonal maptiles are actually hero sprite slices
The pathfinding is A-star pathfinding implemented in plotscripting, and using fake arrays made out of invisible slices

It's called armor, Spoon. Duh.
EDIT: Hold on, I should specify. It's Battle Ready Armor.

Is the code you displayed part of the A-star pathfinding, or is it just part of identifying the tile as a valid move location? If it is, can you break down the parts? To me, it looks more like it's trying to validate the tile as a legit move location, but if I'm missing the pathfinding elements in that script, I want to be able to identify them.

That code is for converting pixel coordinates (such as a mouse click) into hex grid coordinates (for knowing which hex tile was clicked on)
I'll post the full script when the game is demo ready

Cool. I know I've asked about A-star multiple times now, but I find it's easiest to understand unfamiliar code when someone more skilled does it (and explains it) first.

This makes much more sense now!
There are two natural orientations for a hex grid. There are heaps of great references for hex grids, A*, and a whole lot else on Amit's game programming page.

The guide that helped me the most with hexagonal grids was this one: http://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/
The one that helped me the most with A-star was this one: http://www.policyalmanac.org/games/aStarTutorial.htm It talks about 8-direction pathfinding on a regular square grid, but the concept was easy to apply to hexagonal grid once I understood it.

Fairly large sprite of a guy with a gun and a big head who walks in four directions so yeah, totally.
