Staff Block Glitch

No. You can destroy them via script (loop through npcs and call destroy()), or add something to their class (if they're joined to a class).

Using the colors I saw Graal Generate can also use

Yes, but what are you trying to do? If you want to delete the blocks, then delete the blocks. If you want a new GMAP based on the original, that's a totally different topic (and deserving of its own forum thread in the levels forum).

The problem is, I have the destroy script. It was a glitch that if you update the level I found, It would perminantly stay their. That's what i'm trying to fix.
I thought maybe If i generated a new Gmap, It would delete them since they're images.

They don't show up in Offline Editor either.

Still waiting on you to post your code. We can't help you unless you give us more information.

edit: thanks Tig for moving the thread; Fysez, please pay attention to where you're making threads.

Oh, sexy. Never thought about doing that.

Fysez, he's trying to help you here, there no need to be impatient.

You could use loadFolder() to get a list of the level names you need to clone from the folder you GMAP levels are located in, but you're going to have to find a way to create a new GMAP file with all of the level names sorted in order.

If there's an easier way to do it, I'm sure one of the more advanced scripters on the forums will be able to help you out.

Well the reason I say I cannot share the script isn't because i'm being rude or don't want to post it in forums is because,
I figured maybe if I deleted the scripts, It would delete them all.
What was I thinking? I don't know.

I have a back-up folder in which I store scripts.
I didn't store this one x.x

Then post this information in the original post. Trying to help you is like pulling teeth. How can we possibly help you if you don't give us any information? Unless there's something else you haven't told us, you don't need to recreate the GMAP, you need to delete the staff blocks.

You would benefit from reading this, especially the sections "Be precise and informative about your problem" and "Describe the goal, not the step".

To delete all staff blocks in a level, assuming all staff blocks have the image "block.png":

PHP Code:

// put this in a database NPC
function onCreated() {
  temp.lvl = findLevel("mygmap.gmap");
  temp.lvlNPCs = temp.lvl.npcs;
  
  for (temp.npc : temp.lvlNPCs) {
    if (temp.npc.img == "block.png") {
      temp.npc.destroy();
    }
  }
} 


Adjust the image check to work with your situation.

} 


I just came across this and it looks very insightful,
whether or not I will ever use it to find npc images
to do something, I'd like to give you rep when I can.
