A terrain generator?

[troll_doc]

this might fit jass or triggers as well but this seems suitable as well.
Is there anyway you can have the game generate fairly decent terrain by a command?

What exactly do you want it to do? There is this.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing change as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Environment - Change terrain type at (Center of (Playable map area)) to Lordaeron Summer - Dirt using variation -1 in an area of size 6 and shape Circle

You can also place doodads by making them destructibles and creating them.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing change as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Destructible - Create a Summer Tree Wall at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing (Random angle) with scale 1.00 and variation 0

That type of way suck IMO, Gilles, I think he means to create an entire terrain field, too. But, yeah, it's possible.
And Dillbert posted the trigger.

It does suck, but it's the only way I know of. Dillbert posted what trigger? Who's Dillbert? The comic character?

 

[Belgarath]

Gillbert. Well, might go all the way and make it dillbert!

Hereto did.
What the hell this IS more than 15 chars! D:

A terrain generator? I've attempted making one of these several times. Though you'd pretty much have to trigger each part of the terrain and the player would have to command each trigger some how, either through text or dialogues. Maybe some other way. Hard to make and requires a lot of time. Good luck!

What I think would be cool is having invisible dummies, then when the player types "scene 2", etc, the scene would change, doodads and terrain carefully placed.

What about an in-game World Editor? Wouldn't that be neat? Being able to create your world and play in it at the same time? Sounds awesome IMO.

I made a changing terrain map where the camera flies around and you can type in weather such as snow, light, night, firestorm, thunder, thunderstorm and rainstorm. I got bored because... well the map doesn't have much of a point in the end.

 

[nightelf_frenzy]

i think its just triggers like put destructible tree somewhere where u want when p1 says hello as an exact match

 

[gavdaman88]

You could make units with abilities like 'place tree' in game maybe. Basically like the tree summoning spell in dota, but the trees don't go away. Actually that could be fun, a map where you and your friend shape the earth... a god map now this gives me an idea!

I am currently making a free random terrain generator for WC3. You should see its beta thread in map development soon.

 

[Craka_J]

I will be sure to test it out.

Oh man, that's an awsome idea Craka. You could have like two teams, and each one would have to make a challange for the other team to surpasse or something...you'd be able to play doodads, units, terrain height, tilesets, special effects, and each thing would cost a certain amount of gold to buy, so there'd be a limit. Then the other team would spend their money on units and they'd have to attack and beat the challange. You'd be able to choose from a bunch of game types, like capture the flag, AoS...

iron_warrior snaps back to reality

Whew. Close one.

Needs better tile variation and doodad variation.

I will add more terrain detail when I have some of the bugs fixed.
