Walk-In Houses?

[pandamanana]

How is it possible to make a Walk-In house or building without making a trigger that teleports units to a set terrain that looks not much like the inside of a house/building. (think of LOAP, that do that... and it looks crappy) please help me. I know its been done.

Well, you can always create a realistically sized house that a unit can just walk in and its terrained to look like a normal house. You might have to avoid having a roof though, unless you set and change the camera angle so you only see the inside, or you can make the roof a destructable and hide it via triggers once a unit walks in.

Most people just make separate areas that look like the inside of houses off to the side of the map to save room and keep things simple

well i can't make models (aka the house) but is there some secret of using doodads to make a realistic house?

Sure try to create wood on the floor by placing tables and lowering them,and also hanging things on the wall.

Thats the only way you cant make enterable houses what you mension but it would only be possible with rly big models but however .. its just not possible in the way you mean .

You could also place tables or some other doodad as a roofing tile, and then make it so that upon entering the area (the house's inside) the roof disappears and the lighting effect changes to fog of war outside the area and revealed inside.

you could make an unselectable unit that has the model file of a house. And when you enter the region (where the house would be) u make a trigger that turns the house transparent. And when a unit leaves the region, it makes the house opaque again.

And before you ask to make an unselectable unit give it the locust ability and set it move type to flying (so it doesnt interfear with units) and set its collision size and so on to 0
