Creating any Destructible/Doodad with a chat command.

[ripper24]

Can anyone give me a trigger that will let a player spawn any Destructible/Doodad by simply saying it's name in chat?

I would like it to also involve setting a variable to the created Destructible/Doodad so it can be spawned faster and more easily in a different way.

I would also like it to be spawned at a unit's location please, the name of the location is "TheCreator".

Thanks a lot guys.

You can't create a doodad in-game, only destructibles. Since destructibles don't have a similar action like units (CreateUnitByName()), you will need a list.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Strings[1] = bridge
  • Set Strings[2] = ship
  • Set Destructibles[1] = Force Bridge (Vertical)
  • Set Destructibles[2] = Ship
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Trigger - Add to Trigger2 <gen> the event (Player - Player(IntegerA) types a message containing <Empty String> as A substring

• Trigger2
• Events
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (IntegerB) from 1 to 2, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Entered chat string) Equal to Strings[(IntegerB)]
        • Then - Actions
          • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Triggering player) of type TheCreator) and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Set Point1 = (Position of (Picked unit))
              • Destructible - Create a Destructibles[(IntegerB)] at Point1 facing (Random angle) with scale 1.00 and variation 0
              • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)
        • Else - Actions

So this means I have to create a variable for each destructible I want? :S

Unfortunately, yes.

 

[ripper24]

No way, not for what I'm trying to do. That's a kick in the nuts.

You could replace the destructibles with units. Then you can use the CreateUnitByName function.

If you mean I would have to change the units models to that of destructables. Then no, it's still not worth the emense effort involved.
