Sight over Walls

[Beau]

How do I make it so a unit can see over and on a wall of terrain ... eg when there is a +3 terrain wall my unit can't see ontop of, on the side of it or over it.

Well, you could add a dummy flying unit that will follow your unit throughout the game, that way you will be able to see over those walls easy.

In case you don't know, a dummy unit is a unit with no attack, no spell, invunreable, usually no model and invisible(via a trigger).

Too complicated, just make your building's classification = flying. Ingame, your building will be lowered on the ground and look normally but will be able to see over trees and walls(i think that's how it was done in a mass control map with ents and loads of trees, can't remember the name, sorry).

 

[CMarket]

Yes, but in that case will the things that he marks as flying be attackable by melee units and non-air spells?

 

[Volvox]

Yeah, that could be a problem...

I think I once came across a tutorial for this and making units walk on walls.. I'll try to find it.
