[SOLVED] Making Terrain UnWalkable Through LADIK'S CASC

[All_Time_Pro]

Hi all I need some help with my goal of making a certain terrain unwalkable.

After going down the rabbit holes of Hive's threads I saw a few options but couldn't puruse for several reasons.

1. Using triggers:
Possible Method

The only issue is my map size is:

Spoiler: Map Size

Spoiler: His trigger that I don't know how to modify to my map size

• Detonador sin nombre 001
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 1.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer Int1) from 0 to 64, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • For each (Integer Int2) from 0 to 64, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set VariableSet Temp_Loc1 = ((Point(-3328.00, -3328.00)) offset by ((128.00 x (Real(Int1))), (128.00 x (Real(Int2)))))
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Terrain type at Temp_Loc1) Equal to Lordaeron Summer - Grass
              • Then - Actions
                • For each (Integer Int3) from 0 to 3, do (Actions)
                  • Loop - Actions
                    • For each (Integer Int4) from 0 to 3, do (Actions)
                      • Loop - Actions
                        • Set VariableSet Temp_Loc2 = (Temp_Loc1 offset by (-64.00, -64.00))
                        • Set VariableSet Temp_Loc3 = (Temp_Loc2 offset by ((32.00 x (Real(Int3))), (32.00 x (Real(Int4)))))
                        • Environment - Set terrain pathing at Temp_Loc3 of type Any to Off
                        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc3)
                        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc2)
              • Else - Actions
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc1)

And I am unsure of how to modify his trigger with his coordinates, it was kind of unclear in that thread.

2. Using Ladik's CASC Viewer

*I was able to find the terrain.slk file and tried to edit it. However once I tested it out and changed the values to 0 to be unwalkable, none of the values had changed.

Spoiler: Ladik's

I used this link and this link to attempt to navigate it but also got lost.

3. Method 3
Using either Sharpcraft WorldEditor or JassNewGen to do UMSWE category and do certain things. But as I went down that rabbit hole of threads, it seemed that JassNewGen was DEFINITELY outdated. And Sharpcraft World Editor I couldn't even get it to open because I'm to new with the system.

I would prefer method 1 or method 2 as they seem like the correct method to alter terrain. But I will accept any further methods that could help in this instance as well. Feel free to educate me on what I'm doing wrong for ANY of these methods.

Also mods feel free to move this to World Editor Help Zone if you feel this thread belongs there.

Thanks all for any help!

If you don't need to do that dynamically, can't you use pathing blocker doodads?

I believe Hive WE also let's you draw directly on the pathing map (which should be in terrain.slk, iirc), but the version here hasn't been updated in a long time it seems, so you might have to try building it if it's too old.

I can confirm Terrain.slk works because I'm using it at the moment, you need to export a copy, make the changes and place it in C: (or whatever)> Warcraft III >_ retail _ (without the spaces) > TerrainArt > Terrain.slk

Do you know Chaosium how to find that file on my File Drive?
I tried to type it out but can't find it.
I see it easily on CASC and export it. I just don't know how to find it on file explorer or how repaste it on CASC.

Spoiler: File Explorer

Spoiler: Using CASC?

 

[Chaosium]

I'm not familiar with CASC, but anyway here find it attached, you'll just need to place it manually in the right directory

Thank you Chaosium!

I can't seem to find the file on my file explorer I can go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III\retail

But then I cannot find Terrain Art or terrain.slk. I should have updated version. Maybe you have screenshot showing where the directory is hiding?

I tried to type in C: (or whatever)> Warcraft III >_ retail _ (without the spaces) > TerrainArt > Terrain.slk but can't find.

Ty!

Oh if it's not there you can create the folders yourself

Thank you bro I will do that

EDIT: it didn't seem to work, I changed values to 0, created folder in retail (with file inside), but still it didn't work @Chaosium

Edit: I got the directories to work but now the map looks like this:

I set Lordaren summer to 0 for walkability, 0 for buildability, and 0 for footsteps, 1 for flyability and 8 for blight priority

This source kind of helps finding it but I'm not quite sure:
This link helps immensely but I am still stuck

I tried to type it out but can't find it.

The path should be <path to your WC3 install>/_retail_/TerrainArt/terrain.slk. If you're not sure where it is installed, you can right click your Warcraft 3 shortcut or start menu item and click Open file location (if it leads you to another shortcut, do it again).
So for me it is D:/games/Warcraft III/_retail_/TerrainArt/terrain.slk because I didn't use the default location (don't know what it is)

Make sure to add enable local files otherwise it won't work. You can follow this tutorial for that: Local files
