Title: [Solved] ufo map over the top of other terrain
Post by: Nord on September 14, 2017, 06:08:03 am

Dear Meridian,
when we use mapscript command addUfo, it places ufo map and group 1 terrain under it.
Is it possible to put ufo over other terrain block (let's say ruined house or so)? Because if we mark them as group 1, then our craft can use this block too.

You can put a blocks or groups definition with the addUFO command to use something other than group 1.

Code: [Select]

mapScripts:
  - type: WHATEVER_TERRAIN_YOURE_USING
    commands:
    - type: addUFO
      groups: [1, 17] # uses standard LZ map blocks or whatever blocks you decided were group 17
      # blocks: [11, 12, 13] # overrides groups, so I commented it out if you copy/paste. UFO LZ only uses blocks number 11, 12, and 13 from the list

This is standard OXC behavior by the way. You might need to increase the map height in alienDeployments so that the UFO can be placed if the LZ isn't the same height as the ground.  OXCE+ is necessary if you want to pick a single UFO by name or do some funkier stuff with stacking map blocks.
