Walk under a Bridge?

[Katu]

Is there ANY possibility to let tow units be on the same place but with different height? I mean walking under bridges or castle walls, for example.

Walking under bridges/walkable doddads is NOT possible.

Well there are two idea I have

the first one would be to create it so that the destructable is walkable, and then create to regions at the entrances to under the bridge or gate or destructable. Then make a trigger so that if you enter one region you will be moved instantly to the second one.

My next idea, that would only work for maps where its singleplayer, like for campaign missions, is set it so that when you are about to go under it it repleaces the destructable with a doodad or something that is not walkable, then when going near the way to go over the bridge replace it with a walkable desutructable somehow.

there are several whys to fake this effect but they are bad looking.
there are also whays to cheat this to work,but its LONG and HAAAARD...i tried once and got to think it cant be worth it after an hour...
i estimate 5 hours of work...and thats if you are a pro trigger maker...

Or using a waygate, like in this example:

The main problem is not faking the effect but stopping it being abused.
You have to make it so that the destructables are non walkable and simulate the walking using flying heights. if the destructable is approaced from the left and right (like a bridge) it will keep walking ontop. If the unit approaces if from front or back it does not lift it up and so can walk underneath. But for this 2 happen you need to have it all walkable which would allow the top unit to walk off or the bottom unit to walk into walls.

A way to solve this would require removing air units and using their pathing as ontop of stuff. To get onto a wall use the waygate spell that once the unit passes through it changes it to an identical unit but with pathing of type air. The air pathing would be the boundries for the top while ground pathing the bottom. A lot of work but possiable.

but can u just do like this, wen a unit enetrs a region thats infront of the bridge (image that the bridge is seen from one of the sides) the bridge is replaced with a no walkeble bridge. then wen a unit leaves a reg thats behind the bridge the ordinary bridge is restored. it culd work...

 

[Dr Super Good]

It could but units will not be able to walk ontop and underneath at the same time.

 

[sonkan1]

no, i know. but elles its kinda smart hu?=)

Have a fake bridge doodad that can be walked under. Have a region at each end of the bridge. When a ground unit enters one of the regions, make him flying so he can cross. When a flying unit enters one of the regions, make him a ground unit. Now place Pathing Blockers (Air) on the edges of the bridge so that he can't fly away.

Using this, units can walk under / over at the same time without problems, while also avoiding replacement problems. There may be a slight problem if you have other air units and they try to fly over the bridge, so add a condition to check if it's one of your air units that's supposed to be air.

That's clever.

Thanks.
Anyway, there's no problem, I do not plan to place or use any flying units on my map.

EDIT: anyway, will this work (i mean no leak) for a huge number of units? (at a same time)

I never saw anyone suggest not to use a bridge at all, but just a prop. I never saw anyone suggest that he should use flying units. Then again I never read any of the posts except the first one. What're you going on about? :emote_huh:

 

[sonkan1]

well tonk someone has.... sorry, i were a bit stressed

 

[Katu]

I will use Tonks' solution. Thanks guys, anyway, all advices were good. To mods: this thread can be closed now if no one wants it to "live".
