To make 1X1 pathing

[Moontraveler]

I've been trying to figure out how to make a 1X1 pathing area for one of the building I'm planing on making, yet I just can't figure out how to make it. I tried to read Ryoko's tutorial on it, but the tutorial was almost gibberish to me.

Any ideas?

just to clearify... you want a building (which normaly is i.e 4x4 tiles) to be 1x1 tiles?

-open WE, and use the smallest Grid (press G a few times =)), you should see grey boxes on the ground now.

-now place your building.

-just count the grey boxes it needs =) (for example its 1 box high and 1 box wide)

-open GIMP (this is a freeware grafic programm, use google ^^) or Photoshop

-Create new file with Size 1 Pixel x 1 Pixel, well u have to insert here the numbers of grey boxes you counted in the WE for the size of your building.

Tpp: use the magnifying glass tool, because 1x1 pixel is just very small =)

- paint your pixels in colour MAGENTA, this is the colour wc3 uses for the normal building pathability

-save and import it to wc3 (tga or blp)
- chose your new pathing map in the WE, u made it =)

I was able to make the pathing area,and it worked.
But as it turns out there's something hard coded into the editor that makes the object movement placement move 2X2 than 1X1. This probably is the same for ingame.

Dangit...

2*2 is the smallest pathing WC3 supports as that is the size of its pathing map. If the pathing map was 4* bigger (used 4* the ram and processing power) then it could do what you are after but this is hard coded into WC3 and thus can not be done.
