GetTerrainType and GetPlayerId natives?

[ikillforeyou]

Is there such functions, because it's really irritating me that there's no "GetPlayerId" function, i also need to have a "GetTerrainType(x,y)" function

Any ideas?

Player IDs are now simply integers, so basically you just do this:
player = (Triggering player) <Integer>

You can't get terrain type. This is because of the new ability for you to blend tiles.

But i want to get "Owning player of (Triggering unit)" also, what other way would there be to make a maze?

 

[mrzwach]

p = (Owner of (Triggering unit)) <Integer>

Also, you probably would need to figure out a new way of making mazes, because you can't get the terrain type at a point. :\

Is there a way to determine pathing type? You could set the death areas as unbuildable and determine if a unit steps on unbuildable terrain.

Also may I note that regions aren't limited to simple rectangles anymore
You can customize one to fit your entire maze I believe so u don't have to make a ridiculous amount of regions u just have one large complex one. Using add shape.. using negatives etc...

anti has a point so just make a huge region custom fit for your maze.

Ah, cool, i may have to do that =\

is there an wasy way to snap terrain to grid?

Even WC3 allowed you to make a region from any number of squares (rects) or cells. Just the GUI did not.
