[General] water walk

[Chaosy]

Hi. I just ran into a problem.

I want to make a unit walk on water but I cant find a way to do it. I cant change movement to float because then I would only be able to walk on water. I tried adding crow form and then setting fly height to 100 didnt help.

 

[pOke]

amphibious ? Maybe check Naga units

 

[Chaosy]

thing is that I need to be able to make the unit able to walk on water with triggers. also its not for every unit of a unit type. its for certain units only

 

[IcemanBo]

Why does adding crow not work?

You could try this Custom Movement System.

 

[Chaosy]

it does "work". the unit is flying but it wont move over water

also that modifies movement speed only?

 

[pOke]

Unit enters Region

Passive Hero Transformation to amphibious movement



Leaves Region

Passive Hero Transformation to regular form with foot movement

And I'm not sure but Purge's system might be able to manipulated so you "walk on water" since all its doing is moving the unit while playing its walk animation (Edit: Not to belittle it, but that is what's is doing in a nutshell).

I haven't checked to see if it would difficult to do though.

 

[Chaosy]

what you mean? there is no such native. Not that I know of atleast

 

[pOke]

It's not a native but a techinique I guess. I've never tried with respect to changing movement but I can't imagine it would fail. Here is a link on how to do it

Here is how to detect water.

Untitled Trigger 001 Events Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time Conditions Actions Set p = (Position of u) If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Terrain pathing at p of type Floatability is off) Equal to False Then - Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Terrain pathing at p of type Walkability is off) Equal to True Then - Actions Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: deep water Else - Actions Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: shallow water Else - Actions Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: not water Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p)

 

[Chaosy]

that is not my issue atm. I need something that makes me move over the water. Detecting it is not a issue for me

 

[Severalser]

Impossible (i think), just transform the unit with some ability when you want, or use triggers to change the unit.

 

[Chaosy]

I did consider it before but then I couldnt thik of an ability that do that.
Switching unit would work but this should work for all units which mean I would need to have 2x of every single unit type.

I think you must put invisible platform into water . Then If you want walk the unit into top of the water, you can change the height of the invi platform . .

 

[Chaosy]

but then every uniy would be able to walk on the water.

however that gave me an idea.

 

[Severalser]

Orale! Well you can use flying movement. When the unit enters in the water (region) you can use triggers to aument the height of the unit for leveling

 

[IcemanBo]

Type of movement cant be changed via triggers. I think you need to use object editor for this, or really transform into unit that can fly.

If you want you can try to simulate water with doodads, and only allow your unit to enter this region, and restrict for others.

The triggers works, if you don't know look the rexxar campaign part 2, the intoduction cinematographic scene; the dirigible reduces that height

 

[IcemanBo]

He doesnt want to change the flying height, because he doesnt want to use flying units from default.

What he wants is a non-flying unit to be able to walk over deep water, and only this unit, not all units by this type.

 

[BLazeKraze]

Change the movement type of the unit that you want to disable walking in water . Change it to "fly" then put pathing blockers(air) in the water .. .

 

[Vinz]

Then remove them on cast?

 

[Chaosy]

that will still allow everyone to walk on the water not just the units I want to

 

[IcemanBo]

We naps..., use this

• Unit - Turn collision for Unit Off

Only in object editor set to 0 is not enough.

 

[Chaosy]

hm. I guess that could work. I will try it thanks

 

[Vinz]

That would allow the unit to pass through cliffs though.

 

[Chaosy]

indeed but I would disable collision once he leaves an water area

 

[Severalser]

Look the pictures
You can use specific units, I'm using the blue footman. It is in plataforms in the water, use obstacles to block the plataforms from other units
