[Testing help] Is there console command to add tile blocker?

[nonameforme]

As title said, I want to spawn certain tile blocker on my colony for mod testing.
Is there any console that does this?

I haven't seen one, but I also haven't look at every single one of these.

you can do it with a planet event and then call that event in the console. In your planet event you need to scope to the tile you want then use set_blocker = tb_bomb_crater (you can find other blockers). Then select the planet and use the console to fire the event. That should work but haven't tested. At worst if selecting the planet first doesn't fire the event on the planet in question, then use the event itself to scope to the planet you want (not elegant but works).

As CaptainNathanScott said, you'll need to make a test event.

I'll give you a template here:

<yourmod>/events/yourmod_test_events.txt

namespace = mod_testevents

planet_event = {
    id = mod_testevents.1
    hide_window = yes
    is_triggered_only = yes
    
    
    immediate = {
        random_tile = {
            limit = {
                AND = {
                    has_building = no
                    has_pop = no
                }
            }
            if = {
                limit = { has_blocker = yes }
                remove_blocker = yes
            }
            set_blocker = tb_your_mod_tileblocker    # replace this with your custom tileblocker
        }
    }
}

Select a planet ingame, open the console (dont deselect the planet) and type event mod_testevents.1

It is actually possible to do this from the command line using the effect command. I'll have to double check when I get home but I believe this was the command I used when I had this problem. It was certainly something similar.
effect random_tile{add_modifier=massive_glacier}

effect random_tile{set_blocker=tb_massive_glacier}
