[General] Bridge

This might be a stupid question but I'm getting back into editing and was wondering how to make units walk over a bridge without putting ground underneath it and making it look ghetto as frick.

The doodads pallete. You'll find bridges there.

A bridge is basically just a destructible that has the "walkable" field set to true. If something is walkable the units will walk on the highest points of the model. Just pay attention to pathing around it so units don't walk off the edge.

Yea I'm using this bridge and they just walk under it until they cant walk anymore. Is there something special i have to do with the water being here?

Make sure the pathing map is correct for that bridge. Did you make a custom one or is it just one from the editor?

I'm pretty sure you just have to lower it a bit; select the bridge and hold Ctrl and PageDown (this is not the down arrow key).

Found the problem... on my map at least. You can't place a unit on the bridge in the editor. In-game, however, it works just fine. Seems to be an editor bug with the latest updates? Not sure. Thanks for the help anyway guys! @Hermit @Veritas 117 @Wrda

It's not just on the latest patch; it has always been like that, as far as I know.

I might the later patch screw up some of the pathing. Im not fully certain, but Im positive
