Hi, In my map, a peasant character can build a bridge during gamplay.

However, non of the pathing or collision is setup. Characters can't walk on it or go through it. Any solutions?

  • Bridge 1
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Finishes construction
    • Conditions
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • True Equal to (Bridge Build Region 1 <gen> contains (Constructed structure))
          • True Equal to (Bridge Build Region 2 <gen> contains (Constructed structure))
          • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Equal to Bridge
    • Actions
      • Set DummyPoint_BRDG[0] = (Center of Bridge Spawn Region 1 <gen>)
      • Destructible - Create a Short Wooden Bridge (Vertical) at DummyPoint_BRDG[0] facing 0.00 with scale 1.82 and variation 0
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_DummyPoint_BRDG[0] )

Put bridge normally in WE and test if units can walk over it

Units can definately walk over the bridge if I place it in the WE before booting up the map. However, if I create the Bridge during gameplay there is zero pathing on it.

Check out these screens. The bridge looks perfectly placed, but the peon is stuck at the legde.

that may be (must be) a wc3 bug.... my suggestion ?
Put the bridge there
move it to outside of map when time elapsed 0.00 (not map init)
when building is build, move it back

sorry I cant think of anything else

If units can walk on the preplaced bridge then there's a very simple solution to this: preplace the bridge, and destroy it through a trigger. Resurrect the bridge at the appropriate time.

THAT WORKED! Thanks.
