Der Förster an sich ist so angelegt, das er lustig Bäume vor sich hinplanzt. Man kann ihn gut gebrauchen, wenn auf einer Map viele „Wüsten-“ oder Steppengebiete sind. Er schafft jedenfalls eine unerschöpflichen Vorrat an der Resource Holz.

Man muss auf der Map lediglich eine Entity mit Namen: „gaertner1“ setzen und eine ScriptEntity mit Namen: „WaldEntity“. Und Dario darf auch nicht fehlen „dario“.

function DarioIsNeargaertner1()
if IsNear(GetEntityId("dario"), GetEntityId("gaertner1"), 1000) then
    EndJob(DarioIsNeargaertner1ID)
    _OP_Forests_addTreeGrowth()
    MyForest = _OP_Forests_setupForest(GetPosition("WaldEntity"), 500, 1800, "gaertner1")
    end
end

Aufgerufen wird das Ganze mit

DarioIsNeargaertner1ID=StartSimpleJob("DarioIsNeargaertner1");

entweder in der FirstMapAction oder als „Belohnung“ in einem Briefing.Finished.

Falls der Förster pausieren soll, wenn 20 Bäume gepflanzt wurden, kann folgendes verwendet werden:

function PauseForester()
    if _OP_Forests_getNumberOfExistingSeededTrees(MyForest) >= 20 then
        _OP_Forests_disableForester(MyForest)
    else
        _OP_Forests_enableForester(MyForest)
    end
end

Die Bäume wachsen aber trotzdem weiter.

Der folgende Code wird benötigt, damit der Förster funktioniert:
