Hi!

I'm making a forest and I have 3 different trees (I might add more later). I've also made a scatter of points on the terrain with a i@treePicker with random values (0, 1 and 2). At the moment, if I want to scatter Tree0 on points “0”, tree1 on points “1”, etc. I have to blast anything that's not point 0, and use a copypoint sop to copy Tree0, and manually repeat the same process for Tree1 and Tree2.

Is there a way to do all this without manually placing a copy point sop for each tree?

Thanks.

Well, it looks like copy stamp is the only way.

From the copy stamp sop, I'm trying to access the @treePicker value (defines what tree to pick) from another node but I get error. For my first variable, I'm using:

point(“../number_of_variations/”, “treePicker”, @ptnum)

but I get an error:

Error
Unable to evaluate expression (Invalid number of arguments for function (/obj/geo1/copy3/val1)).


Why is that?

Thanks for any help.

no stamping is definitely not the only way and not even preferred way
