[General] Doodad collision?

[Nevanii]

I've seen on many maps that someone placed rocks next to each other, or other such things. When I tried to take that rock away I couldn't fit it back in! How do people making maps do such tricks?

What you do is remove collision from existing doodads (or create a copy with no collision), and then you place invisible pathing blockers

Check the Path Texture line in the doodad editor, it's what determines the collision

I mean I think it's not the case. I opened a map that I downloaded from here, there were rocks next to each other, when I took one away from each other, i couldnt put it back to its place. The map is called "Kerragor" same thing with statues in the middle, creator somehow used walls to hide the down-part of the statue but if u take out the statue or walls, you can't simply put it back

Hold down shift while hovering the object to place it - note that it only works when creating the object, once it is placed the shift hold no longer works.

You could also remove pathing from the object, place it, and then re-enable its pathing map. The same trick people use to place rotated buildings.

I'm learning that Pyrogasm doesn't give bad advice, what he said is what I do.

Also, thank you Remixer, I did not know that!

Edit: you can still make them collide with each other once placed with ctr + keypad.

Just keep the ctr pressed while pressing one of the numbers on the keypad.
