Help with random tree placement?

[Karzama]

So. I've made a little trigger that will create loads of trees around the map. However they get placed in places such as water and they clash into other objects and stuff. Any ideas?

Here's my trigger:

Trigger

    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Random integer number between 25 and 75), do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Destructible - Create a Tree 01 at (Random point in (Entire map)) facing (Random angle) with scale 2.00 and variation 1
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Terrain cliff level at (Position of (Last created destructible))) Less than 2
          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Remove (Last created destructible)
          • Else - Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Random integer number between 75 and 150), do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions

          • Then - Actions
            • Destructible - Remove (Last created destructible)
          • Else - Actions

Add the "Pathability" condition. It's a terrain comparison I think, or something like that. You can check the terrain of the point before placing the object.

BTW, the trigger leaks a lot of points.

 

[Karzama]

For that I'd have to use a variable yes?

And yer I know. I probably won't bother dealing with leaks (not that i really get them still) when i've finished the map.

• (Terrain pathing at (Center of (Playable map area)) of type Walkability is off) Equal to True

Be ware of the leaks from the first moment. Fixing them later is really annoying.

• Set TPoint = (Random point in (Entire map))
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TPoint)

No need to create the destructible if the point isn't valid. The custom script makes sure that you create the randomized amount of destructibles.
