How to make shallow water buildable?

I've been wondering if it was ever possible to configure structures to be able to be built in shallow water? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be possible to remove the unbuilable pathing from the shallow water terrain, but I'm also pretty sure that it is possible to make this work, I'm just not certain how.

I've tried removing the Pathing Map for the buildings, but this doesn't seem to be a very accurate method. It doesn't even work to begin with. Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

I answered this question before but it seems my post was deleted. Anyway, it is very easy to accomplish in TFT.

First, set a placement requires water radius to about 100. If you don't want it to be built a little on land then lower that until it is just right.

Second, change the field of placement prevention from "unbuildable" to "unwalkable".

Only TFT has the water radius option.

there is sort of a way to do this in reign of chaos aswell. Useing zepirs editor you can paint all the shallow water to be buildable. The only problem I have had with this while testing is that when you try to build the building the uh placer sprite for lack of a better term will be on the water level but the actual building will be on the ground below the water which can get annoying to place them where exactly you want them.

Lol it reminds me i did a test earlier about placement for towers (then buildings). Its a good proof for buildings that can be built in shallow water.

This said :
Why make it hard when it can be so easy ?

All you need to do is or use my enhancer SLK or create your unit completely in the SLK & TXT sets.

There are fileds in these unit slks that say "Placement - Prevented by" and "Required for Placement" for buildings.

What you need to do, is remove what is in the first one, or change it to unwalkable or something else than unbuildable if you don't want it to be buildable everywhere on the map.

Of course making it buildable on water ONLY is a different story (Required for placemet = water , maybe)

Here's the screenshot (sorry for size ~200kb , that only 45% quality JPEG) :

Wow! Your tds got so much better than the last version I played Chrydgod. Mind if I PM you for some of the model paths?
Also there is a thread below here called The Elusive Dark Summoning Glyph that needs your help.
