Moving flying doodads

[Argus]

I think I read somewhere about a way to move flying doodads (Ctrl+PgUp), without them resetting to the ground. Anyone know how this works?

Its not the "flying" you just change the Z of doodad.(so i think)

 

[Restor]

everybody knows what did he mean by "flying"....


but for helping you, it is in advanced in the bottom, the "reset fixed object height" and click it

Why do you want to make a doodad fly and move? There's a lot simpler way: Make a flying unit with the doodad's model and the Locust ability.

Thank you Restor, it worked perfectly!

Hes not talking about making a doodad fly. Hes talking about how when you raise or lower a doodad in the WE, and then try and move it the height of the doodad resets.

Oh, why didn't you say so? Then the solution is simple:

And change the flying height. Was that so hard?

 

[Restor]

yes, solution is simple, I wrote it hours ago


and making ctrl+pg up doodads is much more better than making flying locust unit, you just raise it up and see if it fits your terrain good, unlike units, when you must change flying height every time in object editor=thats wasting time

What the ****?

Units got flying height changable by trigger. Doodads only can have adjusted heights when pre-placed with Ctrl+Page Up/Down. Units allow you to change flying height in-game (by triggers). Doodads don't. So to say it real plain: You post makes no sense at all.

 

[Restor]

you dont understand that he wanted to set doodads to concrete Z point?

It will be constantly there with no change, so why using units?

^ He says something different. I don't know what exactly the thread starter wants, but he should explain ASAP.

He either wants to move on X/Y-axis (map movement), or he wants to move on Z-axis (height). He specifically said that he did wanted to move it in the game. For either map movement or height changes, he should make it a flying unit with locust ability.

 

[Restor]

find me where he mentioned to move it IN GAME


we more clever people understood what did he wanted from the first post

He clearly states that he already has 'flying doodads' (which he made flying by using Ctrl+PgUp), and those should still move.

Sorry, sounded perfect in my head. The problem has been solved, I'm just not that great at explaining things. Sorry...
