Flying building

[Centurion2]

Hi everyone. I wanted to do a flying building. I've put in the object editor "Movement : Flying" and "height : 280", but it doesn't make him flying.

So, i wanted to use triggers woth "set height to 280", but it doesn't work ...

How can I do please?

You cannot change something's flying height unless its movement type is set to either Hover of Fly. Naturally buildings have their movement type set to None, making it out of the question letting them fly. In addition, units with "Stats - Is a Building" ticked will never be able to fly. It may seem to work setting the flying height to 280 in the World Editor but in-game it will not work. Basically, according to my knowledge, what you want is impossible.

Shadow Fury, by your logic all he has to do is make a custom unit based on something that CAN move, with the model of the building - then he'll be able to do what he wants to do.

@Centurion2, buildings do not have the 'Amov' ability that allows them to move, with the exception of uprooted ents.

Just gave him a brief lesson on what flies and what does not fly

Actually, a different way of making the building fly, according to this:
XGM Guru - Google translate
Get a dummy model with attachment points, then simply attach your building model to the "head" attachment point on the dummy model.

1. Create a new spellbook ability
2. Make a copy of the ancients' root ability
3. Add the root ability to your spellbook
4. Give the spellbook ability to your building
5. At map initialization, make a trigger that disables the spellbook ability for the player
6. Give your tower flying movement type, height and movement speed (1 is fine)

If you want the building to be able to move around, you're going to have to use a facsimile of a building, and by that I mean make your building actually a unit, but change the field Combat - Targeted as to Structure.
