Hello! I have a quick question. How can I make a unit completely solid? I am trying to make it so peasants can build walls and gates but when the unit is built it isn't completely solid. Also is there a way I can make it so that a unit can be built closer to another unit as it shows gaps between the walls and gates.

Thanks in advanced!

what do you mean by solid ?
if you want to make a unit completed his structure after they'd ordered.. base that unit with acolyte.. just create a custom unit from acolyte and change their names and structures to peasant..

Sorry. I mean the way I have it now a unit can pass through parts of the gate unit but the center is solid and the units will move until the get around the center of the gate unit. my question is how can I make it so that the unit is completely solid so the other units have to walk all the way around.

here, search the "Pathing - Pathing Map" and double click it on the object editor..
set the "Custom" to these..

Gates = PathTextures\Gate1Path.tga
Walls = PathTextures\StoneWall1Path.tga

tell me if you don't understand any of these..

Thanks a lot... I feel stupid not know how to do it... Also would you know how to make it so I can make the walls closer to each other? The way it is now there has to be a gap before I can build next to another one.

:ogre_icwydt: you are using a wrong model variation, The5thelement.

the model you use should all be of Variation 3
Stone Wall (Diagonal 1) <Variation 3>
Stone Wall (Diagonal 2) <Variation 3>
Stone Wall (Horizontal) <Variation 3>
Stone Wall (Vertical) <Variation 3>

and set the pathing map properly too :)

darkzxx said:
oh, you just change the ground texture of the unit to none
found at object editor (unit information) Art- Ground Texture - None

no, he didn't have any ground texture for his walls, re-look at his screenshoot..

he is using a wrong model variation..

he's right now using variation 1, that's why there will be gaps.. :)
he should be using variation 3 for no gaps :)
