Terraining and/or Object Editor problem...

[CoLd Bon3]

Hello! I have a problem with trees, but i don't know why this happens (perhaps it's normal). So in my map i want some kind of... "road" to be separated from a foresty place trough trees. How can i do with a small amount of trees? Just see that picture and tell me if you know how i can make the creeps not chase my hero and not be visible when the hero is on the "road".

Help is appreciated with a +rep!

Add a higher Occlusion Height to that trees ?
When the enemy unit can't see you, they can't trigger the attack.

This didn't worked :/

Change Acquisition range for creeps?
Well its not the best solution... But can work

Well, the only way that I can think is creating regions along the pathway and when the unit is trying to attack a unit inside that region, just cancel its order

• Cancel Attack Region
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set CurrentLoc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Cancel Attack Region <gen> contains CurrentLoc) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CurrentLoc)

If your pathway contains many location in the map and not a straight-line (you can't bend regions), therefore just use OR Conditions.

Just change the acquisition range.

If you change the Acq. Range, be sure to change it back once you've passed the pathway, or not, they will not become aggro as usual

 

[MortAr]

I meant, to change it as if they are pre-placed units, not with triggers.

 

[defskull]

That's what I meant too, if you pre-set change the Range, it will affect the game, forever.

Unless, once you have passed the pathway, you can then change their Acquisition Range back to normal (for aggro, unless you want to see those ranged units do nothing except starting you at the face)

 

[MortAr]

Thats irrelevant to the fact they will attack units from 600 range no matter if there is a tree there or anything.
Given that they are neutral and will not respawn, it is the best solution to simply change the acquisition range, permanently.

I will try to set the Acq. Range and see what happens, but the unit on the pathway will still be able to see the creeps, even tough they don't attack it. I will try this after school. For now, bye!

Hell no I've tested it, no creep is seen at all.

add a line of sight blocker

Hm... perhaps they become visible when they attack. If this is true, then if the creeps don't attack, i won't be able to see them.. I'll try right after i come back from the gym!

EDIT : It worked. With acquisition range of 100, the creeps don't attack the hero on the passageway and are not visible. Well... if i am at other side (not on the passageway) the creeps still don't attack, but that is actually what i wanted in my map, so everything is OK! :]

+rep given to kari0003. Thanks! defskull, MortAr, i have to spread some rep before giving you again :/
