When trying to cook fish steaks on a fire it says "You are too far away from the target"

This should only happen if you are more than 3 tiles away or on a different plane (level) than the fire.

Ahh my bad, I was doing all my tests on a dock which has a -z value of a few. Sorry :p

Was the fire on the same dock? Or quite a bit higher?

Basically, the Z distance allowed for is about 10, which is equal to the maximum increase or decrease in height one can have when moving.

Same dock, I was standing on top of it.

Sounds like the z being returned by the targeting cursor is off, I'll have to look into it.

Yup, it's a bit off. When the campfire I tested with was at -2 Z (on the Britain main docks) , var targZ = tSock.GetByte( 16 ); returned 254 after I targeted the campfire

Unusual, sounds like a signed/unsigned issue being returned. If it is > 127, you should do a GetByte() - 256 (that'll correct it). Probably should do a GetSByte() though, and make sure the method exists.

I'd be willing to bet that we don't have signed overloads for our Byte/Word/DWord messages in CSocket, let alone for the JavaScript engine.

Suppose we should implement a wrapper for the signed overloads, though, since JS uses var's.

GetSByte(), GetSWord(), and GetSDWord() will be in the next release.

Note that any time you are pulling a Z value in JS you will want to use GetSByte() rather than GetByte().
