okay, don't tell me to go try this because i can't. 2 things. Is anything special about the invisible platform doodad? pathing wise, like is its pathing effected by this size, and if so, if you change the size of the invisible platform will its pathing increase? |

The invisible platform what it does is changes the pathing of where ever you put it to pathable (even the side of cliffs or underwater). NO, changing its size does not change its pathable area because its PATHING MAP is what determines the area that it effects. |

thanks i understood that much, i'm just curious if anything is special about the invisble platform pathing map. just curious :) |

Nope, its just another pathing map. Namely an Unbuildable one (in tga color is Blue). Also note 2x2 = size of a tree, 4x4 = size of a human guard tower. In other words 2 = 1 gridsquare in-game. it is (located in ROC): PathTextures\2x2Unbuildable.tga - For the small one PathTextures\4x4Unbuildable.tga - For the big one Other pathing maps of different sizes with the same property would be: ROC- PathTextures\6x6Unbuildable.tga PathTextures\8x8Unbuildable.tga PathTextures\WayGate.tga = This one is basicly 20x20 unbuildable TFT- PathTextures\10x10Unbuildable.tga PathTextures\16x16Unbuildable.tga PathTextures\16x8Unbuildable.tga Others you might want to try (Basicly these have 100% pathing, in tga color is black): TFT- PathTextures\8x8nothing.tga PathTextures\16x8nothing.tga PathTextures\16x16nothing.tga In one of my maps I wanted to make a HUGE area unbuildable, so I made a custom destructable based off one of the pathing blockers and changed its pathing map to the waygate one. Worked perfectly. And the "Invisible Platform" doodad is basicly a pathing blocker that ENABLES pathing instead of disabling it. |
