[Trigger] 'Finding' Terrain Cell

[Alakon]

Man, it's nice to be in hiveworkshop again! Been ages since I was here.

I'm on holiday right now so I'm working again on a project I was doing last time I was here.

I was just wondering if someone could help me with a little terrain issue. I just want to tell my world editor to say: add Terrain cell 1 to variable/struct or whatever. But there's no little preset thing or anything that I can find that will let me do something so simple. I found a preset that tells me the size of a terrain cell, but not say: pregenerated terrain cells. gg_terraincell and that sort of thing.

I really don't want to have to figure out exact co-ordinates and write them in. I want my store terrain structs to exactly match the proper terrain cells so there's no 'mis-communication' and stuff happening that I don't want. It's important for a weather system and overall physics.

I hope I explained that properly. Could someone help me out?

Cheers

Regions represent terrain cells. Basically a region is a collection of playfield cells and rects (which I believe are converted into cells). You will need to make a global constant region and then in an initialization trigger add the cells inorder for you to achieve what you want.

Just to clarify, a cell is an area not a position on the WC3 playfield.

If you are after a position then use a constant location or a pair of constant reals representing the X and Y of the specific position.

Eithor way you will need to enter them all manually into some piece of JASS.

The RegionAddRect, to clarify upon DSG there, I believe allows you to get specific cells. But that is JASS.

Cheers! I think I can figure out what I need now. Thanks!
