Can we make a unit move below a bridge?

You can make trick that when unit comes close to bridge, replace it by dummy unit with no model and movement type - nothing, and add that unit to players selection.

When it leaves bridge, replace dummy with normal unit.

well Wc3 doesn't have an actual 3d dimension on it so it's not really possible if you want collision or if you create a system like I did in a map I did for a contest 'War Carts CV' if you want to check it out, but other than that I don't think it is possible

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

there is a map called "quake arena" or something like that which has a complex trigger to do that
I guess the name is wrong but someone might know what I mean
and I bet you will find many threads about this if you search for them

hmmm Tcx?

 

[rysnt11]

@supertoinkz: yep, how they make it?

 

[Mitzui]

but i have an opened map, not protected, shared by them, what map are you talking about? maybe i can help you

 

[rysnt11]

They made 2 unit can walk at the bridge and below the bridge

 

[Mitzui]

what is the name of the map?

 

[rysnt11]

Tcx map

 

[Bannar]

What is Tcx...

 

[rysnt11]

Google?

 

[Mitzui]

try this

Note: They have two carts, i. e. Human Cart(Ground) which has a movement type of foot, has a movement height of 0.10 and Human Cart(Bridge) has a movement type of fly, and has a movement height of 0.01 Based on War Carts CV.

[rysnt11]

it creates another unit..
What i want is the current unit walk below the bridge..

 

[Mitzui]

it think the bridge was based off an ice floe

 

[Dr Super Good]

It is impossible to get a unit to walk under a bridge due to the fact there is no "under bridge" space in the play field.

Both pathing and graphics do not support this.

Triggers might emulate the effect of a 2 layer bridge but they do need to do stuff like changing units and can potentially bug legit units who use certain pathings.

 

[rysnt11]

But, dsg, i see the map called tcx use the bridge system like that

 

[Mitzui]

i can attach the map here..
(it's not protected, from their website)

Tcx probably set's the units' fly height when they are on the bridge or sets the height altogether. Since there is no railing/pathfinding needed, that's no prob.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The big problem is how to tell which surface a unit is on and to restrict it from moving off the correct surface. As far as the game knows, the bridge should allow units to go from on it to out from under it as there is no logical support for 2 pathing layers.

 

[rysnt11]

@mitzui: haven't i told you that i don't want to change the unit?

 

[Mitzui]

haha...

The triggering that I did in my map was kinda inbuilt for it so I don't really recommend using the system in a map unless you want to have two units for each one unit in it and also don't use flying units if you want collision.
Also note Mitzui I made it up and didn't really put much time into it so it isn't really perfect and I also had to have another trigger that you missed that actually had to make the hidden unit face the same way that the current unit that isn't hidden face as it kinda bugs without it.
