Building ground texture?

[Aviox]

I'm looking to put down the texture that is shown under human buildings, without requiring a building. It would be a plus if I could destroy it, and it cannot be selected in-game.

Here's the texture I'm talking about:

Here's why:
I'm making a map that will have hero-buildings (I want them to be able to gain XP), but if you use a hero as the starting point for a custom unit and make it a building, I see no way to have that building texture under it. it just burns, etc. like a building.

so where is this resource, and how do I place it?
(OR another way to accomplish the same idea?)

Ok, here's what you do...
You make a dummy building from the size of tower/building you want the texture to be under and make the scale value 0.10 (lowest) then make the building have "Locust" which makes it unclickable and have absolute no collision. Go down to stats and make it "Can be built on". Make sure its the building texture that you want then put it under your "Hero building".
If you want the texture to follow the building then do a trigger for like, every 0.5 seconds move "Your ground texture" instantly to "Your hero building"
If your building moves quite fast just make the interval of every 0.5 seconds to lower than it.

If you want the texture to go away when it dies just say
when (Building Hero) dies
remove (Texture unit)

And make it create one when the building hero revives too.

If u want to be lazy then u can make the ground texture stay there and just keep the "every 0.5 seconds move "your ground texture" instantly to "Your hero building" and when your hero revives it will move back to it.

Terribly sorry but you can't make a ground texture turn >.<

Make your hero a building in the object editor. Then find Art - Ground Texture in the object editor. It will allow you to set the ground texture to whatever you want.

He said that it isn't in the object editor...

If I understood what he's looking for correctly... then he just couldn't find it in the object editor. A field that controls ground texture most certainly exists.

If you make a hero a model then turn the hero into a building it still wont have the ground texture stats, that's why i wrote up that really hard and partially confusing way.

I didn't know that you couldn't make a hero with a ground texture (I just double-checked). I just figured that the option would still be there. Good call.

Aviox, just do what I said
it isn't very hard.

I'm guessing, that if it's a building, he won't want to move it, therefore he won't need the "every 0.5 seconds" thing...

 

[manstie]

yes but if u read it, he wants the building to be a hero (Well it isn't a building, its model is just the building >.>), so you cant make it have a ground texture

 

[Element of Water]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it should move - buildings just don't move generally. And why would he even want it to move AND have the ground texture?

 

[manstie]

because he just wants the ground texture there...
GEEZ!

 

[Element of Water]

Yeah but wouldn't it look stupid for something with a ground texture to be moving?

 

[manstie]

quit your jibber jabber.
moving floors will be perfect for the job of whatever he wants

If you say so...
