Creating resources using a spell

from Elemental Forums

I have been attempting to create a spell that will place new resources on the map, such as shards. But I have been unable to get it to work, I have gotten as far as being able to place the art object for the resource on the map with CreateWorldProp, but no farther, it just ends up being a piece of scenery,  not a functional resource.

I am wondering if trying to do that is even possible, and if it might be possible, how could it be achieved?

Thank-you for your time.

It's tricky that we have to create the hoard and not the building. Tripped me up a while back until I got with the program.

Thanks, managed to get it worked out for most of the resources. Is there a way to do it for elemental shards, or will I have to mod those in for that kind of functionality.

Thank-you, that worked. Strange that I had attempted something similar before, because I thought that game might have a mechanism for creating shards. I guess that I probably did not have everything in the gamemodifier tags correct.

Thanks again Glowing_Ember for alerting me to that quest.
