Removing mass spots and hydros

[EntropyWins]

Is there a way to problematically remove mass sports and hydro's (from the Lua code of a map)? I've found `CreateResourceDeposit` and `CreatePropHPR`, though no functions doing the opposite.

Try to store them in some variable and then call Destroy() on them. Destroying the props is possible, never tried with the actual resource itself.

I'm not creating them myself; they are already on the map. Is there a way to iterate over those?

You can over ride the function for spawning resources. Both if it's for a mod or just a single map.

Maybe look at some of the Ultimate maps. (or ask CookieNoob, the creator of these maps)
These decide at the start which mass points and hydro spots there need to be in the game.

Yeah I did, though only saw them add things, not remove what's already there.

Any pointers on how to do that?

nah you didn't

if you only want a pointer how to do it: overwrite the CreateRessources() function and store all markers in a table. Then use the destroy() function to remove them again. Make sure you also destroy the mex on top. If you want an example how to find a mex on the mass spot look at the expansion part of the ultimate script, there is a function that counts mex in an area. To find the mex you are looking for, dont look at the entire map, but at the position where the marker is destroyed +-1 in x and z direction. Example for that is in the tree regrow part of the script.

btw this is not the correct place for a mapping question
