Unitwalking

[J.PuNkD]

Hi,
is there any way to make a unit able to walk through other units, but not able to walk over cliffs,doodads ect. using triggers?
It's for a single player RPG.

If you make it's collision size = 1 i think you can make it go "almost" through other units. And if your doodads and destructables are near enough, they shouldn't be able to walk through. Unit won't go through cliffs if it's not a flying unit.

how come my unit goes? It's ground unit with collision turned off and I can go over cliffs (which sucks tho...)

Oh..... but Colliszion = 1 or 0 is not equal to Collision Off afaik.

collision off is a big difference from collision of 1.

u can make a system to move the unit through other units. it would be a hard system to make since u would have to detect the area around u every iteration to make sure it doesnt walk over a cliff. this would be the hard part since u would have to detect the path the unit would take to the destination point.

collision size of 1 is probably ur best way to do this.

If your request is an ability, then try basing it on Wind Walk with -1.00 Transition Time, so the unit won't go invisible.

Thanks to all of you. I knew there was a difficult way with a system and so on.And for collision size = 1 i would have to create another unit, to make the original unit be able to activate it.

That really helped me alot. Didn't know that before. Thanks again.

I'm gonna have to dig this up. I'm doing the same thing and I tried windwalk with -1 transition time but when I use this function it blocks out all transparency modifications to the unit.

Here is the scenario: I need the unit to be able to walk through units without being invisible. Using -1 transition time fixes this but the unit will look normal. The problem here is that I still want the unit to go transparent without being invisible but as stated I cannot do this to the unit while it is windwalking

Transparent as in, just faded? This part is confusing.

 

[Sunchips]

Yes. I want it to be visually transparent, yet not functioning as invisible (Units not attacking the unit etc)

• Animation - Change Unit's vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 50.00% transparency

50% transparency is the same as invisible units, I think.

If you try doing this on a unit that is windwalking you will see that nothing will happen. As mentioned you cannot change transparency on units that are wind walking and that's the problem. Isn't there any other way to make a unit ignore unit collision so that I can use this method to make the unit transparent?
