Deleting pre map objects

[greg147]

Is it possible to delete map objects without editing the island in WRP tool etc? Buildings mainly.  

Also, how do you add buildings using a createvehicle command? I have this

Code: [Select]

"M1Abrams" createVehicle getPos object1
but what would I put where I have M1Abrams to get a certain house to spawn there? (Or is there another way to get a house to spawn at a precise place?)

Thanks

No.   You can destroy them with

object 1234 setDammage 1

To place buildings use General Barron's Editor Addon.    If you want them to appear in a puff of magic during the game you need to know what kind of house it is.    Use a hint format typeOf combo.    You'll probably get on better with camCreate than createVehicle for houses.

OK. Destroying them wouldn't really work with what i'm trying to do, but thanks for the suggestion  ;D

Yep, thats pretty much what i'm trying to achieve. Just to have a editor upgrade house pop up when a trigger activates  

But whats a hint format typeOf combo? I've never usd one before  :-\

Try:
Find the object ID in the editor, say it is 1234
then use:
hint format["%1",typeOf (object 1234)]

i think there is a command where you can actaully move something that was in a island, like moving a house to certain set of coordinates.

I think there was a time when you were able to remove, or move, map objects.
But this ability was removed to prevent cheating in MP I think.

So, no, it isn't possible now.

I also wanted to create new towns, for some variety, and even realistic ones with more houses closer together.  I've attached the start of one, to show how it's done.  But the AI drivers keep driving into houses, so it doesn't work very well.

Loons on foot are liable to get stuck between close together houses too, unless they are so close that the AI realises there isn't a way through.
