Friendly struc always leaves a marker for where the struc is when it gets built, and i'm not aware if there is a way to make it invisible as a default setting for a map, which leaves a huge spoiler and kills the surprise. A good way around that I guess would be placing a PRPL script that places the struc at set coordinates after a set amount of time has passed, but I don't see a place struc command in the PRPL reference. Maybe i'm just blind, but does this command exist?
Ok, I used this:
50 50 1 1 1 setstruc
and it has placed one built regular enemy struc at the coords 50 50. So this command does exist and works. I just need to know what the other three numbers do, because I have no idea. At least i've stumbled across this though!
I'm assuming 50 50 is the coordinates
first 1 is the type of struc (regular vs armour)
second 2 is the built not built param
third is the enemy or friendly...
you'll have to test, but that's what I see it being (not that specific order though)
The first number is if the struc is friendly or not. 0 for friendly, 1 for enemy
The second number is if the struc is normal or armored. 1 for normal, 2 for armored. 0 seems to break it.
The third number is if the struc is built or not. 0 for unbuilt, 1 for built.
For what I put in "50 50" that is the coordinates that the struc will be placed at. currentcoords also works.
Ah. Your issue is that this command went in as a request after we did the doc src.
So it's not on the wiki yet. It is in the TODO list as a DONE.
Yes, SetStruc can be your friend. Be warned of the potential to produce "alloy Struc" by setting both kinds to be built at once.
Edit: A few new wiki pages and redlinks are up.
