Here you go - not perfect but good enough! The limiting factors are that it lags more than it would if my old way worked but on small maps it rocks. Also you cannot choose where you paste appart from the fact that it copies from the bottom of the map and pastes at the bottom of the map. However you can set the distance to copy from the bottom of the map or of course select the entire map. Distance is measured in squares. (2 metres per square)
For pasting, you can select how you want it pasting. You can select if you want to paste with terrain heights, paste the textures and the rotation of the clipboard to paste. Note that wierd things happen when you rotate but the best thing to do is experiment.
This should work perfectly on multiplayer and I have tested on LAN with no problems.
This has been 2 very tricky triggers to make and I hope you appreciate the work that has gone into these. Have fun!
P.S. On maps when copying and heights and you want the full map, put 1 square more than the number of squares in each direction on the map otherwise the hills will not place properly on the edges of the map!
Prepare for the ultimate duel!
