[General] Is there any way to completely add/edit/remove object data by codes?

[yxq1122]

I have been wondering that it could be very promissing and useful if there is a world editor addon (perhaps JassHelper or Grimex) that can completely support the object data editing (add/remove/edit).

Things may be done like what Grimex behaves.

//! external ObjectMerger my_abilities.w3a D:\war3\more_abilities.w3a even_more_abilities.w3a
//! external ObjectMerger objects\units.w3u

However, Grimex's functionalities seem to be limited (FileImporter, ObjectMerger, and PathMapper). If one wants to add an ability by copying one of original abilities and then modify the data items of this ability and add it to a hero, these operations now must be done by object editor as far as I know. Therefore, if someone can update Grimex or develop a new tool for world editor to handle these operations by codes, this would be great.

Wurst has this feature. You could use it exclusively for object generating if you'd like.

So does that mean you could create an item entirely in code using Wurst?

Yup.

However, it cannot generate items during the game. But you can write code to generate items when you save the map.
