How to make a staircase using tables?

[Blackrockorc]

As my post says i need people make walkable staircases in some games. Could someone instruct me on how to do that?

Create a doodad (with your table model)

In the object editor, select your doodad and change the first value to "TRUE"
Now units can walk on it.

put your doodad on the map, select it, do [CTRL + Previous Page/Next Page] to set the doodad height.

There is doodad called "Invisible Platform", place some on the ground and raise or lower their height!

Test map

how's he gonna make a staircase that runs in a circle?

if he finds out how to change heights to fit where the guy is, that'd be a boss thing to share with us.

There is no way to create something like this in WE!
Even with triggers it can fail!

Well you could make a triggered one where the unit auto-walks up the stairs, but as for making it playable I'd imagine that's impossible

Kobas i dont want to argue but i think it is possible to create a second floor with WE so if you can create second floor you can create something like in that picture. But im not sure i just heard its possible.

Yes it is possible to create a second floor by doing things like manipulating flying height. The problem then becomes getting a good camera angle and adjusting the units movement to actually go where the player clicks (you'll have to make it offset the units movement from the players click to go with the perspective).

Well you need to have:

1st. Uber terrain skills (You need to place large number of doodads, you need alpha tile and so on)
2nd. Awesome skills for WC3 coding!
3th. Camera systems

Now come hard one!

4th. Attack Systems (Range unit can't attack true floor right?)
5th. Ability Systems (Aoe spells like rain of fire will damage units on and below 2nd floor and so on)
6th. maybe few more stuff (depend on map ^^)

Even if you know how to create all that, you will probably use 2 many triggers creating lag!

So if you want to waste month or more time to create this you are free to try ^^

I suggest next:
Create terrain next to yours

Map 64x64 should be replaced with 64x128 (example how to do it)
When unit enter some points move it to another ones, pan camera, lock camera bounds and so one!
Maybe you want to have units that can burrow true floor...
Hmmm just use X, and Y location and move unit to X+value, Y +value (right or left)

Damn I didn't explained this last very well but I think that you understand!

Hehe well my old clan started a project like that that as far as I know worked, too bad they never finished it - but yeah, it is definitely possible

When did he say it was going to be a spiral?

 

[Just_Spectating]

never,
hence an offtopic thread.

thats exactly what id like to know. I figured it out lol but the spiral is definitely impossible
