Changing Collision Size

[Parrothead]

If I have a footman with 16 collision and it passes through a region, I want it's collision to change to 32. Is this possible and how (I don't want to remove collision, I want to change the numbers).

Is it possible to replace the unit with another footman that has different collision size? Meaning it won't clash with your other triggers.

No,that wouldn't work Maker,or if it worked he'd need to trigger it a lot.What about if the footman had inventory with items?Or what about his hitpoints,or mana(if he has).You would need to check all those...
I think there is an Action set Collision to XX,i'm not sure though.

 

[Parrothead]

Yes, that would be a lot of work Maker and would require a lot of triggering to overcome.

i think its possible with jass

Can you post any suggestions?

also jass is not a godlike trigger thing which allows you to do crazy things it's just faster and easier(with vJass u can do more things) but changing collision size..hmmm never seen a function that does but replacing is not that much triggereing
just needs 2 units one with 16 and one with 32 collision size

unit enter your rect

unit = footman16

set temploc = GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit)
CustomScript call RemoveUnit(GetTriggerUnit())
Create 1 footmen32 for (TriggerUnit)OwningPlayer at temploc facing 0
call RemoveLoc(temploc)

and the same thing
vice versa

so leaves region and change the 16/32

for heros it's more difficult but if you dont use then nvm otherwise post it

There is a GUI action wich turns it on/off. Cant u just make the unit have 32 collision size and then when it enters the region collision turns on? And then also turn collision off at start of the map.

• Unit - Turn collision for (Triggering Unit) On

• Unit - Turn collision for (Triggering Unit) Off

I'd prefer this.

Impossiable, only way is via replacing the unit with a different unit type of large collision.

or let a dummy collision unit move with it every 0.01- 0.03 sec

I had tried that preposting this; it was buggy as hell. I guess this topic can be marked as solved, as I'm going to do an alternative thing for my map.

Thanks to all that helped .

Erm, can't you simply use the chaos ability? Works for me to change heroes from ground to flying and back again. And all the items are carried with them.
