Remove pre-placed buildings from game map if disabled

[Arreon]

One thing that bothers me is when I go to disable VTOL factories and sometimes Cyborg factories too, the ones that were already placed on the map at the start of the game still remain. There should be a fix where any buildings that are placed on the map which are disabled in the Structure Limits menu disappear once the game starts.

It's possible to do that in WZ 3.2 via rules.js, but not yet implemented.

Code: Select all

// something like this would need adding to rules.js during eventGameInit()
// note: if .name doesn't contain structure string id (eg. "A0LightFactory") then we'd need a property to expose that

// cycle through each player
playerData.forEach(function(data, player) {
   var structures = {};
   var limit;
   // build list of types of structures pre-placed by map for this player
   enumStruct(player).forEach(function(structure) {
     if (!structures.hasOwnProperty(structure.name)) structures[structure.name] = [];
     structures[structure.name].push(structure);
   }
   // now remove excess structures owned by this player
   Object.keys(structures).forEach(function(structureID) {
      limit = getStructureLimit(structureID, player);
      while (structures[structureID].length > limit) removeObject(structures[structureID].pop());
   });
});

This would be great.
