Jarlerus Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi. I'd like a function in the mission editor for removing trees, just as FARPs do, but only with more control over it. And without having to use a FARP of course. This could be an simple addition, and it would make mission making more interesting, as we could use more parts of the map for missions. Examples of use: Clearing hilltops for FOBs and unit-emplacements or clearing ground for camps in forests. //Jarl Jarl at YouTube DCS Service Span and Wishlist Spreadsheet Forum post for discussion of above spreadsheet Retro Electro Playlist on Spotify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosties Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 You can use the ME to Place a trigger wich removes scenery objects? Learned this myself just a day or two ago. Place a zone and name it then put a trigger, Check under ACTIONS, you´ll find "SCENERY REMOVE OBJECTS ZONE, choose the named zone of your choosing. Tada!

Not the most precise tool, but it's precisely what I was looking for. :) I withdraw my request ^^' . //Jarl Jarl at YouTube DCS Service Span and Wishlist Spreadsheet Forum post for discussion of above spreadsheet Retro Electro Playlist on Spotify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jef32 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Not only trees but all objects on airfields. It's weird to see Ilyuchins or Mi-8 on US coalition fields in Caucasus.

crazyeddie Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This is wonderful news, I love rebuilding my maps and this is the only way to do it in DCS 2.5 as far as I know. Thanks for this thread boys, its the bees knees !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It only work in single player, not multiplayer. Request: Is it possible to activate this function for Multiplayer. There simply are to many trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coug4r Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 And some script function as well? Also maybe some option to make trees destructible by default when they get hit? - If man were meant to fly he'd be filled with helium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baudie Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hi SUNTSAG Thank you for the attempt. Got me closer and thought I made all steps now / but still trees in the map. Maybe I cant do it for the map and have to do the step for all missions? I would still appreciate to make this an option in the game, so it is an option for all and not only for the guys who have played this game for long and knows how to make new missions etc. \Baudie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourrinopathe Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks for that neat trick guys! I just stumbled upon that thread searching for a way to remove a bunch of trees in the scenery. From my understanding, the trigger removes the whole vector area filled with trees and does not allow any finer control. Similarly I don't think there would be a way to add trees unless ED provides a vector tool we could use in the ME. That's exactly how it's done in X-Plane World Editor as you can define a polygon filled with a given type of vegetation. So here's what happened when I attempted to remove a few trees around that tiny airfield. So as mentioned in a previous post, it's not a precise tool/trick but it could definitely help shaping an area.

cfrag Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) 22 hours ago, Hairdo1-1 said: Please add the ability to remove scenery to the open scripting engine IIRC, that already exists... in a way. You'll have to do it all yourself, though: make a search (via world.searchObjects() ), filter all objects inside, end then invoke destroy() on them. It does work for some map objects, but not all (no documentation available which and why) - and it's about as reliable in MP as above mentioned 'clear tree' method. And of course this notoriously doesn't work for objects like fire, some debris, craters etc. So yeah, it would be great if we got a reliable means to remove map objects (including trees) for single- and multi-player. Then again, it's only been 6 years since the feature request was logged... Edited May 12 by cfrag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
