Placing reclaim on sea floor?

[Evildrew]

Is it possible for frigate reclaim to spawn on sea floor instead of floating on the water?

It is possible in the map editor to have the boats be attached to the grid on sea floor when saving but ingame they appear on water surface level once the game launches...

Does anyone know if it is possible?

I'm not home so I cannot try but turn off water layer, place a unit, enable "auto snap to ground," then while holding Ctrl drag the unit a bit and maybe it attaches like markers and props.

yes and no.

the code for the wrecks usually generates the ship wrecks on the water surface. However... you can use

Code: Select all

Warp( unit, location, [orientation] )

to move the wreck on the bottom of the ocean.

I suggest to use something like

Code: Select all

local wrecklist = ScenarioUtils.CreateArmyGroup('ARMY_17', 'frigatewrecks', true)
for _, wreck in wrecklist do
    local position = wreck:GetPosition()
    Warp(wreck,position[1], GetTerrainHeight(position[1],position[3]),position[3],wreck:GetOrientation())
end


I didnt test it, but when you do that in OnStart() of the map script the wrecks that are defined in the "frigatewrecks" group should be snaped to the sea floor
