writable access to object 'view' variable

[Wahazar]

Is it possible to change 'view' variable for object itself?
Especially in nml?
For example, to adjust view according to nearby tiles variables?
Or it can be done only during object placement?

I want to place 'fake rivers' (streams objects) and adjust their views automatically according to the neighbouring stream tiles (their existence and view),
to get chain of properly oriented stream tiles.

The view variable is a choice the player makes.

Evaluate the neighbouring tiles type and object grfid to an integer value and select the appropriate sprite(s) in a switch according to the number you got in your evaluation.

Or do that more simple and draw four riverbank sprites on top of a plain water, depending on the adjacent tile. you then could basically copy the code from the fence placement in OpenGFX+Landscape for the 'company land': http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/ogf ... _land.pnml
