Trigger/Terrain Problem

Why the trigger won't let me to change terrain type in whole region instead of just center? ( Enviroment - Change Terrain Type )

There's also an option in there to set a size. Although it's kind of messed up. For instance, a size of 1 equals 1 terrain block changed, but a size of 2 equals 3 terrain blocks changed (I think). It works like this, you have your main center block then you have plus whatever. So 2 equals 1 center block plus 1 more block going to every direction, you'll see.

That is so f*cking lame. Yeah, I know about the size but it's very tricky. I also noticed 'Destination of Waypoint' , so I guess if I make some waypoints and direct them to regions i want to change terrain, and kill them after. But still, is there any way/program that can allow me to have multiply tilesets/terrain types at once?

Well...now that i think of it, waypoints require center too so i can probably forget about that idea....

You can have multiple terrains with the terrain trigger. You just need to change one block/tile at a time.

I have no clue what your trying to do with the waypoint thing.

Well if I understood u correctly, I would have to make a LOT of regions....Maybe i'll try my luck with size.

Are u sure there isn't any better way of doing it?


EDIT: 60 Views and one man replied. Awesome

How complex of a terrain are you trying to make? I know how to divide the terrain into "large blocks" of different terrain, and how to make a random terrain.

Share your wisdom with me i won't mind .
About terrain...well it's not very complex. Idea is that map has 7 different areas each with its terrain (snow,outland,sunken ruins,dungeon etc,etc)

Trigger works fine if i use size, but I must check and modify costantly so that terrain doesn't get where i dont want it -.-

I could probably make a trigger to fill in regions (rects in jass) with certain terrains, but you'll have to wait a while (like a week or something) because I'm busy.
