Smooth placement of buildings

[BrothForMyPeople]

Is there possibility to raise a building on unrestricted place in-game? I mean WC3 alpha style or Age of Mythology, Cossacks European Wars either.

Unrestricted? What do u mean?

I mean when you're placing building to build with your peon you have green/red square around the potential building. When you're moving your mouse cursor it's moving with tick-move. I want it to move loosely. It's how you build in Age of Mythology game and you can see it in old Warcraft 3 trailers as well.

Oh, you want it off the building grid. Make it not be a building, and instead be a unit with 0 movement. This will let you build anywhere a unit could stand.

Then they overlap each other. Also it's not totally smooth.
I remember I have handled to do this once but still I had problems with collisions.

I've seen this is many maps, like Hell TD. Would really like to know how to achieve it. Maybe a classification like 'ward' could work.

You could change the ART- pathing file to none but I'm not sure if collisions would then be a problem
