Jovian Zone System

A polygon-based zone system for defining map regions with encounter difficulty, modifiers, and safe areas. No physics engine required.

Quick Start

Add the package to your project (local package in Packages/).
Create a ZonesObjectHolder GameObject and set Map Plane to match your map (e.g. XZ).
Open Jovian → Zone System → Zone Editor.
Click Create New Zone, set a name and shape, then click Create & Edit.
Edit all zone data fields in the editor, then click Save Zone.
Use scene handles to adjust the polygon shape.

Key Features

Three zone roles: Base (encounter table + difficulty), Modifier (multiplicative stacking), Override (safe zones, story events)
Visual polygon editing: Drag vertices, Ctrl+Click to insert, Shift+Click to delete, Esc to stop
Concave polygon support: Ear-clipping triangulation for correct rendering of any shape
Multi-plane support: XY, XZ, or YZ — one setting controls everything
No physics dependency: Pure math ray-casting with AABB pre-rejection
Save workflow: Create → Edit → Save with duplicate ID/name validation
Role-based colors: Configured in ZoneEditorSettings, auto-applied on role change
Zone duplication: Independent copies with unique IDs and assets
JSON export: For runtime loading or external tools

Runtime API

ZoneSystemApi api = new ZoneSystemApi(zonesObjectHolder);

// Query zone at a world position
ZoneContext ctx = api.QueryZone(partyWorldPosition);
if(!ctx.isSafe && Random.value < ctx.finalEncounterChance)
    TriggerEncounter(ctx.encounterTableId, ctx.finalDifficultyTier);

// Quick safe-zone check
if(api.IsInSafeZone(partyWorldPosition))
    return;

// Raw overlapping zones (sorted by priority)
List<ZoneData> zones = api.GetOverlappingZones(partyWorldPosition);
