Doodad removing trigger?

[Deleted member 177737]

I'm making a trigger where when a unit finishes researching "Buy Land" a bunch of fence doodads will be removed. But there's no remove doodad trigger.

Can anyone make a jass trigger or something that I can just CnP a few times for various fence removals (Theres 100+ fences and 4 players will be using the upgrades to remove them)

Yes, there is no Doodad removal action, neither in Jass.
Make them destructibles instead and use

• Destructible - Pick every destructible in region and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Destructible - Kill (Picked destructible)

Or units with locust.

You can hide doodads of a type in an area by playing their hide animation.

Will the hide animation let them be walked/built over?

I don't think so. But that's the only solution.

Not really, it would not allow the fences to be properly removed however in this case using a destructible would probably be the best solution, since doodads and destructables share the same pathability types. I suppose using a structure would also give you the same effect.
