Restricting Colonists to Single Side (Fixed in a11!)

[cuproPanda]

I can't seem to get colonists to interact with a joy object on only one side. I tried adding an interaction cell, but that didn't work, and there aren't any joy objects for me to reference handling this behavior. Am I just missing some obvious thing here? Image below if it helps.





EDIT: a solution now exists in the form of JoyGiver_InteractBuildingInteractionCell!

Maybe look at the Misc. by Haplo? I think that colonists can play on computer terminal in his mod.

It all looks the same to me. I don't see anything anywhere specifying colonists can only use the spot in front, so I don't get why they normally just do. 

EDIT: The best I can come up with is using InteractBuilding_SitAdjacent, but that 1) relies on the player putting seats at every arcade, and 2) doesn't prevent colonists from using the arcade in the wrong direction if there's a chair there.

Without dll modding you wont be able to do that, had the same problem when i was making holograms a joy object.. .

as a brutally simple cludge around for the problem, you could build walls on the sides of the 'building' that you do not want the pawns to use preventing their access to those sides

For now, I just specified placing stools next to the arcades. It doesn't seem TOO out of place.

You can do it if you code your own job driver using the PathMode = InterractionCell.
That's really not the easier part of dll modding in my opinion!

I figured it had something to do with the interaction cell. I have little experience with programming, and the experience I do have is self-taught from books and online tutorials, so it'll take me a little while to crack it. I do look forward to getting it done though, since then I'll be more familiar with it and I can move on to bigger and better projects!
