2 Storey Buildings

[YAY_WOOT_YAY]

How do you make a building where 1 unit can go directly above/below another unit? i.e. a 2 storey building? I have no idea how you do it but i've seen it in a game (forgot the name).

Would be very greateful .

You can do it with doodads, by using ctrl + pageup/pagedown or home/end.
You can probably do the same by using flying heights and checking the "can be built on" and "can build on".

 

[wugiboy]

no its actually not possible to have one unit above and one unit below..
or.. it is possible but it would take a hell lot of scripts like the one in TcX..

the simplest possible way I could think of is modifying the flying height when you've reached a certain point etc..

there was a system on hive that i dled but i think the mods deleated it

Lord_T-Just asking, does the collision of the doodad also go up when doodad is ctrl-pg uped/pg downed? Because then it wouldn't work.

Wugiboy-that was my idea initially but i just thought some1 at hive could come up with a simpler way thx anyway.

Kaboommaster- when u say "u dled" couldn't you just post it again so i could dl it too?

 

[Lord_T]

Yes, the collision and walkability both go up when the doodad is moved up or down.
You could just make a house walkable, and the building on top a unit with no movement that is targeted like a building. Should work fine then.

Then post it on this thread so I can DL it >_>

Check out Wc3C. I believe that one of morphus's packs had that in it.

thats just a system + model pack, his question was if it was possible to have a unit on top and on the bottom at the same time

 

[Steel_Stallion]

No, due to Warcraft limitations. it is NOT possible to have one unit above the other. That is the short answer.


The long answer, is that it might be possible, but it would talk alot of triggering, and alot of work. Not worth the trouble, you should find an alternative.

Try making the bottom building big and make it walkable then make another one and raise its height then put path bocker in the first building then u got a 2 story building "doesn't work for 3 or higher starts gliching"

it is possible, see tCx

lol thanks for all the comments and ideas guys, ill be sure to test a few of em.

Its is possible to have a unit above/below another one. Just morph the unit into the same unit just where you have changed the movement type to fly, and change the fly height.

I created this system long time ago. I only created this as a test to see if the idea I had was possible, and it was. So I never finished 100%. But I will improve it and use it in my upcoming campaign.

Good luck

 

[YAY_WOOT_YAY]

WOAH, i just looked at it, its really good .kc thanks (though complex) but good.

 

[wugiboy]

nice stuff

but can it be possible to have 2 units at the bottom and on top at the same time?

seeing as how the map you made has these tiles that cover up the lower level and all..

 

[.KC]

Ehmm, I was supposed to use this system in my "RPG" where you only have one unit. But it should be possible to have more units in the building. You can create a system that store the units location into a variable, and check when you select a unit if the units are at floor1 or floor2.
But it will be hard to pick the unit at floor1 if you only can see floor2, so you need to find another way arround.

You can also make this multiplayer comfortable. I know you can create a script like this:

if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
    call ShowDestructable(d,false)
endif

I haven't tested this if it works, but I know it possible to show/hide a destructable/unit for only one player.

There may be a problem if you have a unit a floor2 and there is an enemy unit at floor1. Then I would morph the unit to only attack air or grond units.

 

[wugiboy]

hmmz try making the lower levels transparent or so..

but in other words very good job!

 

[.KC]

Thank you.

I wont update/recreate this system. The next version you see is in my rpg. If I ever release it.

First off, badass system.

Second, this is a good idea. I saw a system a while back for RPGS that make your trees fade into a semi-transparent tint when something goes behind them. If you could implement a similar system, it would be sweet. I'll try to find the link.
