Flood Fill with Surface Object

[Corlen]

I think surface object can accomplish what I want, but I don't know for sure because I have little experience with it. OK so my game has province capitol icons. I want to be able to load an image of the whole detailed map from an external file and then have the surface object flood fill provinces from the province capitol icons and stop at the black lines that point out province borders. Then I want each of these flood filled regions to count as a separate province when clicked on. Can I pull this off?

Probably, though you might need to use active objects to handle the clicking part (mainly because you can't test for a specific part of the surface object being clicked on very easily).

I've got it all working except I can't figure out for the life of me how to connect these provinces so you can attack neighboring ones and such. I would just hard code it into the game but I'm wanting a scenario editor.

I think I figured out how to do it, I think, but the method is too complicated for me to explain.

I'm glad to hear you figured it out!
