Request: A map gadget that makes area unbuildable

I am working on a unique map but i would need some way of making predefined areas unbuildable on it (teleport exits, i dont want them porced up). Can somebody lend me a helping hand or even point me in the direction?
On a related note: Is there a way to kill air units via lua?

Code: Select all
Gadget:AllowCommand(unitID, unitDefID, unitTeam, cmdID, cmdParams, cmdOptions, cmdTag, synced)
If cmdID is less than 0 then it's a building, cmdParams will be {x, y, z, facing} which you can use to check if it is too close to something etc. There may be a way to do this via the map itself though, like very shallow water.
And for killing air:
Code: Select all
Spring.DestroyUnit
( number unitID,
[boolean selfd = false,]
[boolean reclaimed = false,]
[number attackerID] ) -> nil

I suggest doing that, if the map design permits. Not only is it easy to do for you, it's also very intuitive for player to see where the unbuildable area starts.

The map will be a voidwater map so the only way i could do it would be with perlin noise in heightmap but that would fuck up pathing.
I will make the textures distinct and write it out in description.
