Different types of barriers?

Post by Noobasaurus »

Is there such thing as different types of barriers? Say, a geonosian wants to go over to kashyyyk, but it can't, because there is a barrier in its way. Same with wookies, they can't leave kashyyyk to go to geonosis, because of the invisible barrier. Let's say a clone wants to go from geonosis to kashyyyk to get a soda or something, and they CAN, unlike the geonosian and wookie, who cant move from within their specific boundary barriers. If you get what I am saying, is it possible?

Wow I'm not sure that that is possible. Civilians and troopers are classified as the same thing (I think). You might want to use some sort of planning for the Geonosians only and the Wookies only.

Ok, I'll look up a tutorial on how to make paths for different types of units.

...Well, I tried the search function (or so I think), and nothing. I guess I'll just experiment.

Actually, Geonosians are classified as "HOVER" and Wookiees are classified as "SOLDIER."

I think if you wanted to do what you mentioned, you could set both Wookiees and Geonosians as "HOVER" and the normal units as "SOLDIER," then place a "HOVER" barrier in between the Kashyyyk section and Geonosis section of your map.

And of course keep in mind that you'd block the jettrooper of the republic out too, so don't forget to take a look at that too. :)

So how would I classify the locals as "hover", or some sort of other thing? (I suck at using the search :( , so I can't find a tutorial elsewhere, and I don't beleive it is in the Everything you need thread :runaway: )

This is the odf parameter you want:

Code: Select all

AISizeType		= "HOVER"
Add that to your unit's odf (if it doesn't have it already) and change it as necessary.

Can it be anywhere in the odf?

Anywhere in the ODF that is under [Properties] would be fine.
