Uh, I don't know how to make a diagonal one.
This is as close as I could get currently, doesn't look right though not sure...? It's either 2 top or 2 right.
Well I was only using terrain to show the system easier, it will actually be images with the textures known as black32 and white so connecting/overlapping will not be an issue. However as you mentioned there is something wrong with the looping so it looks wierd as well. Any idea on how to correct the loop?
Set TileImage[1] = black32.blp
Set TileImage[2] = white32.blp
Set TileImage[3] = pink32.blp
Set HorizWidth = 32.00
Set VertWidth = (-1.00 x TileWidth) //so we build from top left to bottom right
-------- --------
Set Columns = 8
Set Rows = 8
Set StartVariation = 1
Set NumVariations = 3
Set StartPoint = Wherever
-------- --------
For each (Integer RowInt) from 0 to (Rows-1) do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set VarInt = Modulo(StartVariation + RowInt, NumVariations)
For each (Integer ColInt) from 0 to (Columns-1) do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set TP = StartPoint offset by ((HorizWidth x Real(ColInt)), (VertWidth x Real(RowInt)))
Image - Create image using TileImage[VarInt] at TP
-------- do anything else you need to do here --------
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TP)
Set VarInt = Modulo(VarInt + 1, NumVariations)
This doesn't seem to work very well?I didn't really look at your trigger because it seemed to be doing a lot more than it needed to.
Wow, I definitely missed that one... Thank you though is there nothing that can be done with the right side and top parts?

You will need to use a custom texture which is surrounded by a fully transparent alpha border. Otherwise the border is stretched. Or at least that is what was commonly told.
Thanks, a lot better and reminded me of a few issues with images. So a 32x32 white.blp would work then?You are still massively overcomplicating it by trying to use some if blocks and additional counters. Get some variables and learn to use the Modulo function, because its most basic use is for repeating patterns. That being said I forgot two things in my above trigger:
- A Set VarInt = Modulo(VarInt + 1, NumVariations) in the inner loop.
- That to use modulo like this the indices have to start at 0, not at 1.
Now as for the edges: the problem is that the white.blp you're using is actually a 256x256 image and the image size specification in the action where you create it actually does nothing. In my trigger above I used size 0 and it doesn't change anything; images in wc3 have always been awful and this is no exception. Change your grid size to 256 and it will appear properly. You don't need black32.blp because you can just use the white one at 0% color for all of them. Also image coordinates are in the bottom left so I changed the order to be botleft -> topright rather than topleft -> botright.
That's what I am trying to do, regions at the center however either its actually at the bottom left or top right of each tile or its size is incorrect.
Guess I should try with units or sfxes & regions then... Thanks.
