Terrain change without jass?

[DarkDefiance]

is there a way to use more than just 1 terrain style without using JASS? obviously you open a new map and choose the type of terrain you want it to be initially but i was wondering if i could change it using regular WE without the help of JASS.

Go to the main window and take Advanced from the toolbar, then click the upmost button(Terrain Types or somthing?)

 

[SkateuUp]

there is also a action that changes terrain

 

[WilliamPa]

That would be Envinroment - Set Terrain Type(i think, haven't used GUI in a while)

do you know how to do it with basic JASS, nothing that includes jassnewgen just the basic jass we comes with cause thats all i got to work with.

Spoiler

function ChangeTerrainType takes location loc, integer Ttype, integer var, integer area, integer shape returns nothing
    local real x = GetLocationX(loc)
    local real y = GetLocationY(loc)
    call RemoveLocation(loc)
    set loc = null
    call SetTerrainType(x,y,Ttype,var,area,shape)
endfunction

Here it is, to use just do

• Custom Script: call ChangeTerrainType(loc, Ttype, var, area, shape)

Value info:

loc: Centered location
Ttype: integer rawcode of the terrain
var: variation, normal: -1
area: size of the area where it shall spread
shape: Shape of the spread area. Square: 1, circle: 0

It's called "SetTerrainType" and it's a native that looks like this:

native SetTerrainType takes real x, real y, integer terrainType, integer variation, integer area, integer shape returns nothing

To find the terrain type, just use the GUI actions: Enviroment - Change Terrain Type and specify your desired terrain type there, and just convert it to custom text and use the terrain type integer there
