Walkable Walls and Gates that opens and closes..

[pangahas]

Please post triggers that allow walls to be walkable.I want my archers to be able to position themselves on top of walls and be able to move around while attacking enemies from a distance.
I also need triggers for gates that can be opened and closed by the player owning it. Please post trigger tags...Thanks in advance..

 

[Fingolfin]

There's no trigger for enabling units to walk on walls.
Either set the destructable to "walkable" in the object editor, or add invisible platforms (in the bridges/ramps section)

Fingolfin's suggestion is the only solution, apparently.
For the opening of the gates, you can use a destructible of type Elevator, create a region on it and use a trigger:

• Open Gates
• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters Open Gates <gen>
• Conditions
  • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to <The player you want>
• Actions
  • Destructible - Open <Your gate>

• Close Gates
• Events
  • Unit - A unit leaves Open Gates <gen>
• Conditions
  • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to <The player you want>
• Actions
  • Destructible - Close <Your gate>

But what if the gate is a buildable structure how do I create the region on which it is built?

 

[Arnadath]

just check not region but if the unit enters/leaves a region which is an area of X distance from the door

 

[Fingolfin]

In jass there's a native to create rects using two points. But i don't suppose you know jass, so..

 

[pangahas]

Jass is rocket science for I'm just a beginner to modding wc3, I can only create basic triggers and mostly I think leaks. But I'm learning..

 

[pangahas]

just check not region but if the unit enters/leaves a region which is an area of X distance from the door

When u say just check not region do u mean make a condition? units in range?

 

[Arnadath]

there is an event called unit comes between distance from other unit. Use this

thx pharaoh , been looking for something like this for days

 

[wolfman]

Why not just give the gate an ability that opens and closes it. Use the druid of claw morph ability and make the alternate unit (open gate) a unit with the pathing of a dead gate. If you want you can also trigger it by ordering the gate to morph when an allied unit comes near it.

 

[Arnadath]

The matter is not the open close, but the conditions in which open closes

 

[onix_noob]

There are few ways of make buildable gates to be oppened

but you can use this:

+ this trigger

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(patrol/follow))
    • (Unit-type of (Target unit of issued order)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Target unit of issued order) to Night Elf Druid Of The Claw - Bear Form
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Unit - Order (Target unit of issued order) to Night Elf Druid Of The Talon - Storm Crow Form

this trigger is not the best (it's activated when you right click on the door) if you wonna somthing better you have to experiment (i don't chek if this work)

There is a whole tutorial on how to make buildable open/close gates, why do people not check the tutorial section before posting?

"Walkable walls" building gates was secondary

 

[StaberFire]

I am relatively sure there is a tutorial for that too.

 

[pangahas]

If so, links please?
