Hi There,

I have a grass (object painted) on the terrain and in run time I want to remove the grass from particular area (let say remove grass from radius of 10unit from player position). Is it possible to remove the grass from terrain in run time ?

Thanks

yes, please check Game.Area.Data.foliage_objs

It looks like that is the way to go. Thanks a lot!

Sorry, need some more info on how to use the foliage objs. First of all it is not listed on Data member and when i am using this <Game.Area.Data.foliage_objs>

Getting error "invalid use of non static data member"

first you need to access the area:
world manager:
Area* areaActive ( Int i )C; // get i-th active area , if the index is out of range then null is returned
Area* areaActive (C VecI2 &xz)C; // get active area at 'xz' area coordinates, if the area doesn't exist or isn't active at that coordinates then null is returned (which means that only area with AREA_ACTIVE state can be returned)
Area* areaLoaded (C VecI2 &xz)C; // get loaded area at 'xz' area coordinates, if the area doesn't exist or isn't loaded at that coordinates then null is returned (which means that only area with AREA_CACHE AREA_INACTIVE AREA_ACTIVE state can be returned)

Thanks that works!

Is there any way to know the current activeArea ? It is impossible to find it based on the player position.

Ye normally you do your world pos xz to area conversion, that is based on the size of the area

Worldpos xz / areasize. if i am not mistaking

Woldpos xz/ areasize did not help but i will try again.

Meanwhile i have another question :
If i have to draw grass programmatically (i want the plants to be aligned on x and z axis separated by equal distance just like Farm) then whats the way to achieve that ?

Small snippet will help.

Thanks

I don't think it is possible with built-in grass functionality but for other types of objects (like Static) you can just use loop and align objects by their bounding box or actor shape's width and depth.

If the objects is dynamic you can search for near objects sharing the same type and set new position relatively to them. There is a method [/code]for that in Game.World class.
