Tileset object effects air unit height.

[Ishmaru]

Since unit height already effects the height overground of air units why not have tileset do the same things. This will allow for tileset makers to have more larger trees and mountains. Hope something like this can be done. Thanks!!

This is already possible in MG (and has been since 3.4). You can set a height property for tileset objects and air units will respect this height.

Oh, I never knew that existed! Could you post the exact syntax?

Code: [Select]

<object walkable="false" height="12">

Would it be possible to define a tileset width as well? Air units would raise their height if they are over the square that the object was on. However if the tileset object was wide as well air units would return to ground level the next square over. This would be an issue for mountain objects. Glest mountains have a diameter of 3 the mountains i created are 5 in diameter. Units would fly through the mountain till they reach the center where they pop up for a second and fall back into the mountain (cause they passed center square) This would be avoided if you could use either a cell map for tileset or a width property.

Just and idea.

No, that wouldn't be compatible with how maps work...

Well maybe in the future. For now guess I have to use my backup plan.
