| industry_count | industry_type, grfid = -1 | The value of this variable is the number
of industries of a given type that are currently on the map. industry_type is either the ID of an
industry. GRFid is the grf in which the industry was defined. The default value is -1, which means
current newgrf. A grfid of 0 lets you check the number of default industries of a given type. Warning: using this variable trashes the contents of temporary storage register 0x100 |
| industry_distance | industry_type, grfid = -1 | The value of this variable is the
manhattan distance the closest instance of the given industry or 0xFFFF if not applicable. See
industry_count for a description of the parameters. Warning: using this variable trashes the contents of temporary storage register 0x100. |
| industry_layout_count / industry_layout_distance | industry_type, layout, grfid = -1. | See industry_count / industry_distance for description of industry_type, grfid and return value. The
results are filtered to industries that have the given layout number. Warning: using this variable trashes the contents of temporary storage registers 0x100 and 0x101. |
| industry_town_count | industry_type, grfid = -1. | See industry_count / industry_distance for description of industry_type, grfid and return value. The
results are filtered to industries that have the same town than the current industry. Warning: using this variable trashes the contents of temporary storage registers 0x100 and 0x101. |
| town_manhattan_dist | x, y | Parameters indicate a signed offset relative to the northern tile. Returns the Manhattan distance (dx + dy) from the selected tile to the closest town |
| town_euclidean_dist | x, y | Parameters indicate a signed offset relative to the northern tile. Returns the squared Eucleidean distance (dx^2 + dy^2) from the selected tile to the closest town. |
| town_zone | x, y | Parameters indicate a signed offset relative to the northern tile. Returns the town zone that the selected tile is in. |
| nearby_tile_random_bits | x, y | Parameters indicate an unsigned offset relative to the northern tile. Returns the random bits of the selected industry tile, or 0 if it is not an industry tile that's part of this industry. |
The following variables are available to both industries and industry tiles. All of them require an x, y offset. For industries, this offset is unsigned and relative to the northernmost tile. For industry tiles, it is signed and relative to the current tile.
