constructable portals

[69stehend]

how can i make it possible to build portals by builder? (im talking about the usual portals from wc3, that are automatically used by units, if it's the shortest way)
it is really important, that units automatically use the portal, when it's the shortest way

i think you can.
just add the load/unload ability to the building

EDIT oh auto use? well you can do it anyway i will add triggers soon.

EDIT 2 mr.beans idea is kinda better.

Base the building off the "Waygate" building.

thx guys, solved it

or you can create another unit, and add the ability "Waygate Ability" to your unit via the Object Editor. it can be a building or a unit, i haven't tried it with destructibles but i think it's also possible.

by the way, the teleport destination is a region, not another unit or building with a "Waygate Ability". i don't know if you can set a waygate's (or the unit with the "Waygate Ability") destination if it is built in-game, since setting it is usually done by selecting the unit and setting the destination region in the Editor.

the waygate destination is a location and not a region and it can be set via triggers
in the editor you set it to a region indeed, but actually it uses the CENTER of the region, which is a location

EDIT: solved anyways
