Spawn walls with no pathing map, but still collide?

[Zhall]

Hey all,

I'm working on a new map and I've come to my first problem.

I am trying to spawn walls using triggers, and I got my desired result, however, because I am not using a pathing map units will not collide with these walls even when i set the collision size 200+

Ideas?

Thanks

Here is an idea:
Make the walls as ground non-building units, and disable their movement & turning with PauseUnit upon creation.

What are these? Units? They should collide properly unless those are air units.

Make the walls regular units and not buildings? Then disable movement with BlzUnitDisableAbility -'Amov'-. If you don't want the walls to have health bar or be selectable but still have collision and be potentially killed you could try the locust + chaos ability combo.

I used these settings and made it a unit, seemed to work.

Now i have a new problem that these "buildings" are selectable along with everything else.

Also, I tried pausing them, to make them unselectable, but that didn't work.

Thanks

As was mentioned above, try this (Locust + Chaos):
--> Locust Ability
However, this would probably also prevent right-clicking/attacking them (I am not sure).

 

[disruptive_]

Locust + chaos doesn't prevent right clicking or targeting (ie. can attack, can cast spells, they can also die), just player selecting.

EDIT: Just so you not fail in doing this trick, you should have 2 units (one dummy unit and then the wall) and one chaos orc ability with its value set to the wall unit id.

In your trigger you should create the dummy unit, give it the chaos morph, then locust. Then you either order the unit to "hold position" or disable its movement on another way.



On this image the barricades block my units, don't have health bar while having regular health stat, and can even be targeted by spells and attacks as they can be right clicked but not selected.

Well, I ended up just doing a rough workaround, maybe I'll come back later and fix it properly.

Wall deselect
Events
Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wall
Actions
Selection - Remove (Triggering unit) from selection​

This will not work well in multiplayer. The selection event has synchronization latency as such they will select the units and some 100-200ms later the units get deselected.
