[General] Remove preplaced Blight on terrain during the game

[Barade]

I would like to remove the preplaced Blight on terrain using the native

native SetBlightRect takes player whichPlayer, rect r, boolean addBlight returns nothing

. However, it does not seem to work. I have tried some owners and null as the player parameter. Who is the owner of preplaced Blight? How can it be removed it at a certain point in the game?

I would assume it's owned by Player 1 (Red) or Neutral Passive / another Neutral player.

Edit: Tests show it doesn't matter which Player you specify when using either SetBlightRect() or SetBlightRectBJ(). Preplaced Blight must be a special exception when these run, ignoring the Player check.

You could create a custom dispel magic spell with a large radius, it removes blight by default

So these calls should actually remove it?

call SetBlightRect(null, gg_rct_Zone_Sunwell_Grove, false)
call SetBlightRect(Player(PLAYER_NEUTRAL_PASSIVE), gg_rct_Zone_Sunwell_Grove, false)

Because it seems to stay there.

I instantly change the terrain types afterwards:

call SetTerrainType(x, y, target, GetTerrainVariance(x, y), 1, 0)

Maybe this is an issue?

Using a random Player works for me, on the latest patch. The rough dirt remains but the blight is removed.

Maybe this is an issue?

Sounds like a good thing to test and find out.
