Detecting if a unit is on water

[Erkki2]

Is there a way to detect (check in a condition) if a unit is swimming?

I believe you can check the terrain type but if unit is in shallow water terrain type check thinks of that as land.

• Actions
  • Set TempPoint1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Terrain pathing at TempPoint1 of type Amphibious Pathing is off) Equal to False
    • Then - Actions
    • Else - Actions

If it is swimming then the unit is amphibious
Or Check if the unit has started the effect of Swimming Ability

Ok, checking the pathing should work. Thanks!

 

[deathismyfriend]

Yes it will work except for shallow water is still land not amphibious.

I guess I can check if pathing for walking is off and pathing for amphibious is on.

 

[deathismyfriend]

Land units can still walk in shallow water.

Probably buildings can't be built on shallow water . Try to check if a point is build-able , else , try to create a building , a small one , and check if it is alive or not in the same time 0
