Mapscript question

[Nord]

I really dont understand how all the mapscripts works? but its okay.
For now, i can not understand how to put flat mapblocks under xcom craft.
For example, tftd island terror:

Code: [Select]

  - type: ISLAND_TERROR
    commands:
    - type: addBlock
      size: 2
      groups: 2
      rects:
        - [0,3,5,2]
    - type: addBlock
      size: 2
      groups: 3
      rects:
        - [0,3,5,2]
    - type: addBlock
      groups: 4
      rects:
        - [0,4,5,1]
    - type: addCraft
    - type: addBlock
      size: 2
      executions: 4
    - type: fillAreaFirst three commands putting shoreline, then goes craft, then 4 times big blocks, then just filling the rest area. How a craft become on the flat?

addCraft automatically places map blocks under the craft that are marked as group 1 for landing zones, and those blocks are generally flat and open to accommodate craft.  You can override this behavior by giving the addCraft command blocks: or groups:, but you have to be careful so you don't end up with blocked exits, clipping through objects, or half of the craft floating above the terrain.

Code: [Select]

    - type: addCraft
      groups: [0, 1] #allow group 0 blocks to be chosen too
      blocks: [0, 1, 2] #chose block 0, 1, or 2 from terrain to place under craft, overrides groups.

There is answer. I missed it, or it was not described anywhere... anyway, thank you.

I wrote the MapScripts section - any feedback on how to make it clearer would be welcome
