Create Doodad

[Mr_Bean]

Hi guys,

I am wondering how I can create doodads (such as cattail) with triggers. I can't seem to find one. Create destructible only makes trees etc. Do I have to create a custom destructible based off a tree and change its model to cattail?

Thanks,

Mr_Bean

There is no trigger action to create doodads, they are pretty much not supported by jass.

//============================================================================
// Doodad API
//
native SetDoodadAnimation       takes real x, real y, real radius, integer doodadID, boolean nearestOnly, string animName, boolean animRandom returns nothing
native SetDoodadAnimationRect   takes rect r, integer doodadID, string animName, boolean animRandom returns nothing

You may only hide/show existing ones by

call SetDoodadAnimation(x, y, radius, doodadId, nearestOnly, "hide", animRandom)

call SetDoodadAnimation(x, y, radius, doodadId, nearestOnly, "show", animRandom)

Hmmm, that's strange. So I should create a new destructible based off a tree or something?

Any object type you may imitate your need of a doodad with. Maybe a special effect is okay as well.
