Moving Regions

[The Howling Storm]

I'm well aware that using the Region - Move trigger action doesn't actually move the region, or only moves part of it, or something, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to actually move the region to where I need it to go or if they could point out a tutorial that would explain it for me.

What do you exactly want to achieve?

Seriously this does not work for you ?

• Region - Center Region 0000 <gen> on YourCenterLocation

You cannot move a region. You can only alter the area of the region by adding or removing cells.

You can move rects. Rects can be used to modify the area of a region many cells at a time. If your region is based on the area of a rect (like GUI does for event regions) then you can simulate a region move in theory. You use the rect to clear all the cells it added to a region, move the rect and then add the cells that make up the rect to the region.

native RegionAddCell takes region whichRegion,real x,real y returns nothing
native RegionAddCellAtLoc takes region whichRegion,location whichLocation returns nothing
native RegionAddRect takes region whichRegion,rect r returns nothing
native RegionClearCell takes region whichRegion,real x,real y returns nothing
native RegionClearCellAtLoc takes region whichRegion,location whichLocation returns nothing
native RegionClearRect takes region whichRegion,rect r returns nothing

My intent was to create a spell that, when cast, created a weather effect around the caster as part of the SFX. Region-Move/Center/etc. has never worked for me. I've read that in several places that it moves the interior of the region (or something like that, I don't remember exactly) but not the boundaries, which are what are used for triggers. Unless I'm misinformed or I'm doing something wrong.

native AddWeatherEffect takes rect where,integer effectID returns weathereffect

I do not see any region... If nescescary remove the old rect and make a new rect.

Doesn't create weather affect the map globally?

 

[Adiktuz]

judging from that native, you can make it work per rect...

anyway, since it might confuse the OP, rects are what the editor's GUI call a region...

if moving the rect doesn't work, then just destroy the old one and create a new one as DSG suggested
