Random Billboard Placement

[aeffertz]

I think it'd be cool to somehow have a setting where it would place billboards from a certain group in your track folder or something and it would randomly choose them as you click or click and drag rather than pasting the same billboard over and over. I think it would help create a more diverse looking woodland in the distance and crowds alike.


If I wan to have a nice mi of trees right now, I have to line them all up in one corner of the map and click each one individually and place it all around the track where I need them but space them out enough so it doesn't look like a copy-paste job and have enough room to fit all the other trees in the group as well.

The second possibility I think would also be great is that you could have a few of the same billboard picture but you'd make a few different sizes so your forests have more depth rather than each tree being the same exact size. Hell, even if you could set the billboard size to random as you placed them that would really make things faster/easier.

I could make a script for that, but they would be limited by rectangular shape. Like my decal tool. To make it less perfect, you could throw in x and y offsets where it generates a random number between -x and +x. Not sure how fast I could do it, but it shouldn't take too long. If you want this.
