How to remove collision completely

[BossMaker]

I use the Unit - Remove Collision for Unit GUI trigger, but it's not passing through doodads, climbing up cliffs and moving through destructibles. It's only passing through other units. I tried to add Ghost(Visible), but still the same. Can't add Locust though.

I'm not sure that removing collision covers it. How about turning the unit to a flyer with modified altitude?

Edit: after a little test, if you set a ground unit's movement type to fly and give it a height of 1 it will seem to walk normally through units and most doodads (like barrels and gates), and even leave footprints. Problem is the if the unit goes near a cliff or a doodad like rock chunks it will start elevating before reaching them.

It should be able to move literally anywhere, even out of bounds. Are you sure the action is being run on the unit to remove collision? Maybe the unit can walk up cliffs just the path finder is not aware of it and so still orders it around as if it could not.

fyi Ghost (Visible) only makes the unit have 0 collision to other units (so other units can move through it), it will still move around other units with collision size.

Yes, basically how I triggered it is when it casts the ability Wind Walk, it turns the caster(variable) into a unit with 0 collision then it turns on the triggers:
1. When the unit attacks and it has the buff Wind Walk, it automatically returns the collision
2. When the duration of the Wind Walk ends(timer 7 seconds) it will return the collision

However, I thought it would be able to move past doodads and climb up terrain but it's not.

As I stated It's originally supposed to be triggered so I don't mess with the unit pathing, but thanks for the suggestion!

You must be doing something wrong. Using this trigger:

Hidden

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Turn collision for Peasant 0000 <gen> Off

The unit can go through terrain and doodads, although it's pathing may prefer to path in directions that would not collide with terrain or doodads.

Try just running that trigger on a pre-placed unit.

Units have a minimum collision size. Unless you use the trigger to turn off collision for a unit in which case it will not collide with anything and can walk anywhere, even out of bounds and potentially crash the game.

Turning off unit collision works but it doesn't update pathfinding and unit will still act as if they are normal ground.
You have to rightclick when unit is very close to obstacle to make it pass through.
