How Can I Cover The Entire Map In Grass?

[BlueBerryWizard]

I'll be using a generator to spawn the grass and will use destructibles since I don't want them to count towards the overall unit-count.

Right now my problem is the grass appears black.

This grass must be set up so I can target it with units so that said units can eat the grass btw.

Could you give us more information, or screenshots of the actor for the grass?

There really isn't much to it.

This is how I've tested out the model so far.

libNtve_gf_UnitSetVariation(lv_u, "DynamicGrassAgria", lv_i, "");

This function when not given a texture "" uses the models default texture. Even so I have looked for the grass texture and not been able to find it. I'm not sure if maybe my editor is just messed up or something about the grass being dynamic means it normally uses a generated texture... I don't know. The problem is it appears black ingame.

Try using a texture in the texture field and see what happens.

The only efficient way to do this would be to break the map into grass units. These units represent an area of grass. As these units get "more eaten", they remove grass actors from around their area. Likewise, when they "regrow" they respawn grass actors randomly in their area.

I tried this and it did not work:

libNtve_gf_UnitSetVariation(lv_u, "DynamicGrassAgria", lv_i, "Assets\\Textures\\dynamicgrass_diffuse_xil.dds");

Try making sure the model texture paths aren't broken.
Make one of the doodads in the map somewhere and see if that turns out black as well.
Assigning textures with triggers can be a sticky situation, why not instead just make the model of the destructible the grass and do it all through the data editor?
