Placement of Doodads and Units?

[AkuaKumulipo]

hey hiveworkshop! i need some professional help on this question. i've noticed that with some doodads, when i place it on the map, it seems to be limited on where i can place it... for example...

when i place the "barricade" doodad on the map- i notice that as i move the marker on where i want to place it- it seems to "skip"

on the other hand, when i try to place the doodad, such as the "torch" doodad, the place marker seems to be more "smooth"... am i making sense? if so please tell me why, and how i can change it- and if not... i'll try my best to clarify haha thank you!

Its all to do with the pathing texture.

If you set it to none you can place the doodad anywhere, but at the same time it loses its collision.

oh okay, thanks but what if i did this... what if i set the pathing texture to none... then placed the doodad where i wanted to put it... then put it back to its default setting... will it keep the same position AND it's collision properties? - and again, thanks a bunch

Yes it will.

Its a common trick and it works very well.
