Scripted/Triggered Regions {cloning and creating regions through triggers}

[Dumblor]

Is it possible to clone or create regions via script/trigger?

All regions are created by scripts.
When you save the map info about the region converts into jass ( war3map.j )
But if you mean creating regions with loops, it's impossible.

If you need same region multiple times, you could move it via trigger, but same region can't be at two places at one time.

I mean that, let's say, I build a Town Hall, and is it possible to create a new or copy a single region to that area, or it's only possible to move it ?

Rects and regions that you create in rect palette are global variables.

globals
    trigger                 gg_trg_Melee_Initialization = null
    rect                    gg_rct_Rect_000            = null
endglobals

Global variables can't be created while game process.

But I think that you can create a local rect in the trigger where town hall finished construction wtih this native function:
(native Rect takes real minx, real miny, real maxx, real maxy returns rect)

local rect r=Rect(0.,0.,0.,0.)

So that's a no I guess. Too bad. Anyway, not a death for what i'm working on. Thanks anyway. Rep 2 all .
