hi, well im making a ''battlefield'' map, if you know what kind of map that is i think you should know whats my problem: ok i make a barracks for exemple. Then there out comes a guy and he has an region to move to. BUT here is the problem: MY UNITS CAN WALK UP A TERRAIN AND DOWN FROM THERE! AND WALK THRU TREES AND OTHER UNITS. This seems like it hasent got a size but i checkt it out and it had a size.. wtf must i do to stop them walking up the hills and down form there? o_O

You probably set its movement type to none. Or placement type to none. Or may of made it have no pathing map. Check, gl wit that.

As a last resort, you should try placing pathing blockers where you don't want them to go.

Erh... They're in the terrain palette... or doodad palette... I can't remember and I don't have WE right now. But use the one that blocks pathing for air and ground units, to be sure. But if you still need air units to have passage through there, use only ground pathing blockers. If that doesn't help, then I don't know anything else that would help. But as I said, this you should only use as a last resort. It'd be simpler to fix the problem by editing the unit.

EDIT: No wait, I did have WE. Pathing blockers are in the doodad palette, under 'pathing blockers'. So either use 'Pathing blocker (Ground)' or 'Pathing blocker (Both)' depending whether air units need to pass there.

I'm not sure why you're solving this the hard way. There's definitely something wrong with your units. There's no reason they should be able to pass through things. There's also no indication they won't be able to just pass through your blockers, once you've gone through the effort of setting them up.
