doodad art variation

[deathismyfriend]

i have a doodad w 5 art variations i was wondering if i could change which art variation it is using through triggers ? if not is there a way to remove and place doodads w triggers ? ik i can do it w units i was just hoping i could do it by changing the art for the doodad unless u can do it w one item tht would work to ? im open to suggestions and thx for all ur help

 

[WaterKnight]

The only jass functions for doodads are

native SetDoodadAnimation takes real x, real y, real radius, integer doodadID, boolean nearestOnly, string animName, boolean animRandom returns nothing

and

native SetDoodadAnimationRect takes rect r, integer doodadID, string animName, boolean animRandom returns nothing

You cannot change the variation nor replace them. You can create/remove items or destructables.

ok thts wat i thought just wanted to make sure thx a lot

You may place doodads/different variations above each other in editor and hide the ones you do not want to display at the moment ingame by making them play the special animation "hide". Use "show" to turn them visible again.

[WaterKnight]

They are "hide"/"show". Use them in the functions mentioned above.

call SetDoodadAnimationRectBJ( "hide", 'YOcp', GetPlayableMapRect() )

native version:

call SetDoodadAnimationRect(bj_mapInitialPlayableArea, 'YOcp', "hide", false)

or

call SetDoodadAnimation(32, 128, 16, 'YOcp', false, "hide", false)

 

[Maker]

 call SetDoodadAnimationRectBJ( "hide", 'YOcp', GetPlayableMapRect() )

This function will just call the function WaterKnight posted earlier. One should use the native

EDIT: I spy with my little eyes...a ninja edit.
