I've had this vanishing problem too but I don't know how to fix it either.

I know of one possibility: place it in game with a trigger...that works....

But as I said I have seen it placed in the editor and it worked, too....

Julius knows .

Right, in his latest scenario, "A call to arms". That mansion at the beginning, right?

Right - and he did it in other parts of the map too. That's been very tricky, and I couldn't find out yet, how it works. It has something to do with "Town Center 1X" or "Town Center 2X" and an "Invisible Tile", made of flags. On the same tiles, where those "Town Centers" are placed, there are normal Town Centers too (the editor does that itself, AFAIK). But I just don't get it ...

The town center parts are removing after a seconf . Using a looping trigger ,

Fanica, I guess, most of us know, how to do it with triggers. That's not been TheReal_Hunter's question (and mine).

I tried removing TC parts and it took the whole thing out.

Anyways, I figured it out. It's like what Findig said. Good luck figuring it out Findig! It took me around 15 minutes and it was fun. Got annoyed by the crashes and aokts also glitched my map, luckily it was a scrap map. >_>

My method is quite simple. Make an invisible tile out of 'flagx', then map-copy this onto a specific tile of the town centre and the central part disappears, leaving only the arms. Getting the central part without the arms is harder but with trial and error you should be able to get it. The secret is that one of the invisible tiles needed must be placed beforehand, and then the town centre moved on top of it.

Thanks for the hints, Julius999 (and shame on you, Dtrungle - you're sadistic ... )!
Well, finally I figured it out. It's working this way:



The tiles 1, 2 and 3 are "Invisible Tiles" (Edit: They have to be made with "FLAGX" and do not work with "DEBRI"). To let the central part of the TC disappear, you only need number 1 (wich is the "creation tile" too) and place or move the TC into the 4x4-grid. What you get, is this:



(The ice spot is placed there, to mark the position of the IT.)

For making the arms disappear and leaving only the central part of the TC, you need all three ITs and - very important! - number 3 must have been placed before you place the TC. Then you get this:



(Again the three tiles with ice terrain mark the positions of the ITs.)

Maybe this could be done easier, but that's the way, it worked for me.

How can I create in the invisible part , to not let units walk there and don't block'em .

That's it! It was fun figuring it out was it not?

I fear, you can't, Fanica. This method is for combinig other buildings via "Mapcopy" with parts of the TC already in the editor (and therefore most probably the ITs will - and should - be covered or blocked). For other purposes I still would use triggers, to create the (unlocked) TC-parts in game.

@ Dtrungle
You're right. It's been fun.

But if you create the TC parts, it cannot be made ontop of something else. Basically, it will be very clear to see the chipped TC and the hanging pieces.

Beautiful Findig, I'll have to use his in my RPG I'm working on. Hmmm? That central part of the Town Center would bake a great treehouse, don't you think. And the arms...they could be used as stands in a city center where people go shopping. Great find Julius.
