Because I need to stop the character from falling through the platform, which requires that the jumping triggers just stop right there, if they are at a certain height, and in a region. Argh, UMSWE currupts like a mofo.....

Just everytime it runs the periodic trigger to bring them down a little farther, have it do an if check first: if unit is in region and flying height < 500 (or whatever) skip remaining actions.

4. The cars in one of my level dont really....Move fast enough. They sorta lollygag around, even at their highest speed. Weirdo.

I have yet to see a way to go above the speed cap. It sucks :(

5. Heh....Id like to know if and how it is possible to take the steam from the top of a steam tank, and make it trail behind a unit if they get smashed really hard. It would look just like the real game.

Because it's part of the tank's model, I don't think so. But you could make a similar effect by finding the mdx for the doodad that's like a smoky patch and attaching it to the units origin. I can't remember what it's called, but it's just a black spot on the ground that smokes (the black spot probably wouldn't show up attached to a unit's origin so you'd just see the smoke)

6. One of my levels requires that mass amounts of doodads raise up and down. No explaination needed for the level, I just havent thought far enough into my map to figure out how to do this. Meh, its getting there though.

What I'd do is make these units and then turn off their collision, err, well since that only affects
their path finding I'd actually turn off the collision of the player's fighter (you can setup boundaries to make sure they don't run off the level anyway, and you're going to be detecting whether an attack hits based on triggers so this shouldn't matter methinks). Then have their flying height go up and down. Then for the trigger that makes the unit fall through the air, just change it to if unit is in region and if their flying height > flying height of platform + 10 or something like that (you'll have to tweak that to get it look right based on the size of the platform).

7. Final issue...I have a level played on top of a giant dragon.... Is it possible to make a doodad use the dragon model, and then make it walkable. How do you make a doodad walkable anyways?

You already posted a thread on this and the answers in there are as far as it'll go I think. It'd be cool if this worked out but technically it's too much of a pain to be worth it I think. TFT might make it possible somehow though.
If the person presses left, then it orders the unit to move so-and-so distance to the left. If he continues to hold left, then he continues to move, if he stops, then the unit stops. Simple.
