Pathing Blocker Doodad Limit

[RyanAvx]

Hi!

Currently trying to use Eagle Eyes AW map as a template for a project, in testing I found that all my units can walk over the cliffs, so I started to put pathing blockers around. Soon enough I hit the limit of doodads, and only one area had been pathing blocked, with the rest of the map still having walkable cliffs.

Is there any workaround to this at all?

Click and click.

..or you could make pathing maps for each doodad and/or use JNGP editor to bypass the limit.

Adding to the above - if you use the JNPG editor, you can also set custom tile pathability by using one of the extensions.

For example with that feature, you can make i.e AshenvaleRocks be Unbuildable and Unwalkable by ground units, while still being pathable by air units.

Oh snap, that sounds pretty good because all of the mountains use the same ground texture. I've looked at JNPG editor and it looks a bit daunting to me. Is it like coding or is it...not newbie friendly but...accomodating?

There isn't any coding needed to set custom pathing. It's one of the extensions (one of the tabs at the top). Just look for "Custom Tile Pathability". After using it, you have to close world editor completely, then re-open it and that tile will have your changes.

It hasn't worked. I've set the pathing to not walkable, saved, exited, reloaded and tested and you can still walk over the cliffs.

After you choose your settings and hit OK, don't save (the editor saves changes for you) close the application and then reopen

It's still not working, I've set the options to unwalkable on all the tiles that could even potentially be the one...

Are there any imported tiles? If so, check the path that your tile is overwriting, and set the pathability on that tile. Unless you've already tried that. For example, if your imported terrain path is "TerrainArt\Ashenvale\Ashenvale_Rocks.blp" then the tile you would want to set unwalkable is Ashenvale Rocks.

I can look more into exactly what you need do in a couple of hours when I get access to the editor.

 

[RyanAvx]

I fixed it. I needed to enable UMSwhatever.

What I want to know now is...now that I've changed the passability of the tile with this plugin, if I go back to the default editor, will the passability persist, or do I have to keep using the new editor?

 

[PublishedShadow]

That I can't confirm as I always use JNPG. It's worth a try at least, if you prefer using the Vanilla editor instead. However, JNPG also gives you the 'no limits' option, so you can go over 8000 doodads if you choose to keep using it instead.

Nah it's ok! Thanks a lot for the help Published, it's all sorted now!
