[Solved] Magic Wall

[Ironside]

Hello, how could I make that 4 squared magic wall not allow anyone to leave it nor enter it?
But units who are in the center of it will stay inside.
Is it possible without triggers?

 

[Spartipilo]

There's an ability called "Volcano" or something like that which creates doodads. You could change the Volcano for some other doodad with square form... But units may be able to leave with blink.

Here's an Ability Guide for Warcraft 3 wich explains tons of abilities and how they can be used to achieve "uncommon" things .

use pathing blockers

This won't do as the building must be controled by the player.

use pathing blockers

They're not on the map by default, they are buildable structures.

Well...if they are buildable that means this walls have a building structure.
Go to the object editor, select the magic wall's building and change the "Pathing - Pathing Map" with a pathing that fits the building...or make a custom one(which represents the pathing blocker that you need).
I hope this might help >.>

There's no pathing map that would fit the magic walls.
I am not a texture maker either so I can't do that either.

There are some hidden paths that can fit your cage wall:
(select Custom Pathing Map)
PathTextures\12x10Pen45Path.tga
PathTextures\8x8PenPath.tga
(Found them by using W3ModelEditor--->MPQ Browser)


And if this doesn't fit your Magic Wall either:
Creating a pathing texture for a Pathing Map is not that hard...you need just a few Painting Skills and a good program that helps you do that (PhotoShop...etc)
Check the size of your Magic Wall.Create a blank picture(or you can import some path textures from War3.mpq/War3x.mpq), resize it till it fits with the Magic Wall(16x16...12x12....8x8...) than start painting....fill the borders with Magenta Color(255Red+255Blue) so units can't pass through your Magic walls and Blue/Black color in the center so they can stay in the magic wall.
When you're done save the picture in .tga format and import it with Import Manager in your map.
(Hinton't use Windows Paint to make the image....after you save the image it alters the colours and that's not good...)

Good job!

PathTextures\8x8PenPath.tga

That one fit perfectly.

This is now solved.
