Trick two: Changing an objects subtype (more teleporters)

Basically, each subtype only corresponds to other monoliths of it's subtype. What is to note is that the subtype counter starts at '0', so pay attention when changing numbers!

Now, by setting the subtype to '8' we have created a new type of teleporter.





Any idea how to implement this for HotA? The editor/game crashes almost every time I change the subtype to any non-common value for One Way Monolith. And even if it not crashes after setting a certain subtype for an Entrance, it crashes for the Exit with the same subtype.

To quote RoseKavalier:

Quote:

You are reading random dynamic data that might be different every time you launch the game (or reboot, or on a different pc). In some rare subtypes it might just stumble on data that is static but it's still buggy as hell because the name of the object is set in there and that will almost always cause a crash.

Pretty much what Barbuta wrote. In SoD it tends to "work" because there is plenty of allocated room (for other things, not monoliths) that gets overwritten by the new subtyles, but on hota they added new subtypes of their own which means they allocated some specific memory region for it and you risk hitting bad memory much sooner.

The only safe solution that allows you as many monolith subtypes as you can imagine is SoD_SP.

Thanks for the answers. I have already found another solution that fits me and does not use the teleporters.

Is there a quicker way to place objects than drag-and-drop or copy/paste? Preferably with a single click. I'm using the HOTA editor. Thanks all

Yes, hold down ctrl, click and hold an already placed object and a new copy of it will appear then just drag and drop it. Works on the base map editor and therefor any other. Thank me later.

With this knowledge I probably could have saved several hours of my life of dragging trees and mountains onto the map!

Are there any other neat little things like this worth knowing about?
