Colossal.Atmosphere.MoonCoordinate

Assembly: Assembly-CSharp
Namespace: Colossal.Atmosphere

Type: struct

Base: System.ValueType

Summary: Represents the Moon's coordinates relative to a local observing point. Holds topocentric (observer-centered) coordinates together with the distance to the Moon and the Moon's parallactic angle. Exact units are not declared in the source; in the game codebase these values are typically represented as double-precision values (distance commonly in meters and angles in radians), but consult related types (e.g., TopocentricCoordinates) for precise unit conventions.

Fields

  • public TopocentricCoordinates topoCoords Holds the topocentric coordinates of the Moon for the local observer. Topocentric coordinates typically include azimuth / altitude (or similar observer-centered angles). See the TopocentricCoordinates type for details about the fields and units.

  • public double distance Distance from the observer to the Moon. The source defines this as a double; unit is not explicit in this struct — likely meters in the surrounding codebase. Use caution and verify unit expectations when performing calculations or conversions.

  • public double parallacticAngle The parallactic angle of the Moon at the observer's location. Represented as a double. Units are not specified here (commonly radians in astronomical calculations); verify with calling code or related utility functions.

Properties

  • This type defines no properties.

Constructors

  • public MoonCoordinate() Structs in C# have an implicit parameterless constructor that initializes fields to their default values (topoCoords default, distance = 0.0, parallacticAngle = 0.0). The source does not declare any explicit constructors.

Methods

  • This type defines no methods.

Usage Example

// Example usage (assumes TopocentricCoordinates type is available)
TopocentricCoordinates topo = new TopocentricCoordinates
{
    // fill in fields according to that type (e.g., azimuth, altitude)
};

MoonCoordinate moon = new MoonCoordinate
{
    topoCoords = topo,
    distance = 384_400_000.0,     // example: average Earth–Moon distance in meters
    parallacticAngle = 0.0        // example value (radians)
};

// Read values
var az = moon.topoCoords.azimuth;       // depending on TopocentricCoordinates definition
var alt = moon.topoCoords.altitude;
double dist = moon.distance;
double pa = moon.parallacticAngle;

Notes: - Refer to TopocentricCoordinates in Colossal.Atmosphere to understand how topocentric fields are represented and which units are used across the atmosphere/astronomy code paths. - If you need a convenience constructor or helpers (e.g., unit conversions), consider adding extension methods or a wrapper type in your mod to avoid duplicating assumptions about units.
