How can i add a new tree via script?

#1 Hi there,

Here's something taken from another topic:

A snippet of code that shows how to programmatically create objects in the mission using script:

// pos = position
function createTree(%pos) {
  %tree = new TSStatic() {
    shapeName = "~/data/shapes/trees/tree1.dts";
  };
  MissionCleanup.add(%tree);
  %tree.setTransform(%pos);
  return %tree;
}

// call this function like this:
// make sure %lx, %ly and %lz are valid x, y and z coordinates
%pos = (%lx SPC %ly SPC %lz SPC "0 0 1 0");
createTree(%pos);

Note: I am not sure this is "network safe" - I have not looked into that yet.

#2 Hmm my simple problem now is the following:

the added object (tree) should be now under the MissionGroup or not?

i can't see the added tree in the Mission Inspector. (even if i add it with MissionGroup.add())

should this be like this?

thanks for reply

#3 Set the instant group before you create the object.

$instantGroup = MissionGroup;

The instant group is where objects are added if they are created with no explicit parent.
