[Solved] WE can't detect if Flyability is Off?

[Mirage1]

I don't know if this is some unknown bug of patch 1.29 (1.29.1 and 1.29.2 too) and I haven't seem people talking about this but if you place a Pathing Blocker (Air) or even a Pathing Blocker (Both) you cannot detect if flyability is off with triggers unless you trigger all points inside the region one by one by triggering it through:

Environment - Set terrain pathing at ("Target Point") of type Flyability to Off

I'm making a jump ability and I can't allow people to go jumping all around the map. It already can detect deep and shallow water but I need to figure out a way to detect flyability in order to simulate high walls (which you cannot jump over). Any ideas ?

 

[MyPad]

My idea is to have an invisible air unit. Set the air unit's position to the desired location, considering a small region of displacement.

if the air unit is displaced, mark that spot as blocked for air.

The approach is quite similar to checking walkability for ground units except with air units.

It worked as intended but now I'm facing new problems. The more urgent one is that I'm not being able to reset the flying height of the jumping hero when the flying dummy detects a non-air pathable area (so the hero is still flying). I believe this problem is more with my triggering than with your suggestion @MyPad.
A question more related to you idea would be about memory usage (0.04 kb for each flying dummy). I will try to workaround this problem with @Flux's Dummy Recycler. I will be posting the triggers to help future readers and people which may want to aid me. I'm using @BPower's Missile System to emulate my trajectories. (I already use it for other stuff )

At Event Finish and Event Collide Destructible the flying hero will stop as it should not cross gates, altough I'm facing issues when dealing with rolling doors. The part of Walkability off = true and Floatability off = false is a trick I use to detect deep water to avoid the unit to get stuck in water but I honestly don't like the idea of being not able to jump over deep water. I may change to something different like drowning the hero

Those default blockers are destructables. Destructables do not add terrain pathing. You can have doodads, whose pathing maps the editor adds to the terrain pathing file on compilation but that means you cannot as easily remove it on runtime.

Thank you guys for repplying. Both solutions work well when it comes to detect non-flyable areas. But I will give up of the jump skill anyway because of the difficulty in detecting collisions with gates and I also concluded that jumping over cliffs and deep water would be an unfair advantage in my kind of map. Thank you for helping me with such good ideas, I will be using them in the future.
