Waygates and air units

[Teelo]

Hmmm... are waygates not supposed to teleport air units?

 

[supertoinkz]

No. They can.

 

[Teelo]

I made a map that uses Waygates, and took it for a spin. Went undead... massed up destros, then noticed they dont seem to use the Waygates, they fly to the waygate then seem to just fly to the destination...

 

[ronojales]

it worked fine when i tested waygates on flying machines and dragonhawk riders. maybe the units near your waygates are too many?

 

[Teelo]

Naah. I noticed none of the destroyers would go through the waygate, so I singled one out and tried a bunch of times to get it to go through the waygate... nothing. It flew up to the waygate, then flew off in the direction of the destination.
Try it with a destroyer. If the destroyer works for you, ill test it again then post my map.

 

[ronojales]

Destroyers are those black undead things that uses Devour Mana and Absorb Mana, right? . well they somehow passed through the two waygates in this map.

(NOTE: when saving it the editor in this computer sucks, so it shows some unknown error in scripting. but i think that's not the reason those flying things move through the waygates )
WayGate Move

Nah I was trying this on a melee map. I had the two waygates blocked off with a black line of camera bounds down the middle of the map... the only way for the units to get to each side of the map was with the waygates.
The destroyer would fly up to the waygate, then turn around and fly up to the camera bounds, then sit against the walls. The other units would teleport through the waygate as usual.

Heres the map I was trying it on. The destroyers wouldn't go through any of the waygates. I'll try it again tomorrow.

 

[Ironside]

tested in your map, works perfectly.

 

[Teelo]

I just tried it again. Of all the flying units I tried, it seems to only affect Destroyers. They're the ones you get by morphing an Obsidian Statue. Every other flying unit teleported fine, but the destroyers would fly up to the waygate, and... yeah.

 

[Newominus]

What exactly did you press in order to try to make them go through?

 

[Teelo]

Selected only the destroyer, rightclicked the waygate.
The destroyer flew up to the waygate, then turned and flew off in the direction of the destination (which it cant reach anyway since its blocked).

Then I tried rightclicking on the terrain at the destination instead, and.. same thing.

 

[Ironside]

I shall try with destroyer too then.

EDIT: yeah, same, only Destroyers can't pass.

 

[ronojales]

when i tried your map and played it as melee, yeah, those Destroyer didn't pass through the waygate. but when i placed a Destroyer in WE and played it (not a melee map anymore), it passed perfectly. now i wonder what does that. i don't use Destroyers when i play melee, so i'm not sure if other melee maps has that bug.

 

[Teelo]

I wonder if its something to do with having pathing blocked.
