Raising Doodads

[Deathbringer]

Wow its been awhile, after some screwing around how the hell do I raise doodads up to a certain height? I've seen it done in all these contests and other things about, and I know I've done it before.. do I have to resort to units set to flying?

 

[HappyTauren]

no, use minimum and maximum scale in obj data... and home/end to raise/lower x and y and pg down and pg up to set more Z. IF you hold CTRL while using pg up or pg down it will elevate.

 

[Xarwin]

Control + Page up to raise it.
Control + Page down to move it down.

it doesn't work... I can't get my doodads to fly in the air OR to stand on another doodad

World Editor doodads and destrucibles hints provides detail about this subject.

As it has already been mentioned:

Ctrl + Page Up = Raise Doodad
Ctrl + Page Down = Lower Doodad

And if you want a doodad standing on another make sure they have "Pathing - Pathing Texture: Mushroom" on at least one of them.

It doesn't work

But, I can't making my doodad to fly.

I make a doodad with/without a pathing thing, and then press Ctrl + Page Up and it doesn't work... :emote_sleepy: :emote_surprised: :emote_mad:

Ok. First start off with making a doodad and set its pathing to zero. Then place the doodad on the map. Now select the doodad and hold down the "Ctrl" key. While holding down the "Ctrl" key press "Page Up". This should raise the doodad very slightly. If you hold down the "Page Up" key while the "Ctrl" key is held down it will raise the doodad until you let off the page up key. This doesnt always work with destructables and it wont work with units.
Also, make sure you have the Fixed Object Heights option unselected. This property of the World Editor can be changed by going to Advanced -> Reset Fixed Object Heights and clicking it so the checkmark to the left disappears. This will allow you to move the doodad while it is suspended in the air.

bjartmar, hold the buttons in for a noticeable effect. Just pressing both once doesn't really make much of a difference.

 

[bjartmar]

tnx for the help, Herio-San, and i don't understand what you mean darkey...

 

[Darkey]

Hold in Ctrl and Page Up at the same time, if you weren't.

 

[bjartmar]

Darkey, I held both in, but i didn't select a doodad, that was the part of it all, that i misunderstood

 

[Darkey]

Haha, nice call.
