Proof of concept, stairs. STARCRAFT 2

Hey hey, this took me about 20 minutes to make, although it have some problems, you can't jump in the stairs, nor have anything under the stairs, and nothing over the whole floor. I will fix the camera as this is world of starcraft tho, just a WIP! but i prooved that its possible. If you are gonna have floors you have to code every movement in the house to calculate his height, if he is allowed to go there, but i actually want to try it. Oh, and each staircase takes about 20 minutes to make, 10 minutes to code the engine ;)

YOU STOPPED WORKING ON IT? DO YOU KNOW WHERE THIS MOD COULD HAVE TAKEN YOU? Good lord, I wish I had the skill you have here.

Do you know how many people would play this mod once it's complete? A LOT! And do you know where this mod could take you once it's complete? Probably working for some fancy top dollar company like Blizzard, EA, Epic Games, etc. making video games. I've seen people make mods, and those mods ended up turning into retail games.

/facepalm

@b00mYou Stopped working on what? WoS or this system? I can easly make a library for this :l

What you need to do is raise the terrain so it's over top of the stairs, then hide the terrain. It'll make it look like you're walking a bit above the steps rather than underneath which is a bit more aesthetically pleasing.

@youFAILatLIFExD My concept was too have several floors, like you can walk under the stairs. And i found a solution to that by having several blockers, 1 for air 1 for ground 1 for ??? and then use the burrow ability to change into another pathing. but its not smooth, maybe i could try with some speed where he walks up.

@Koutes Hmmmm you could make it so when you hit the middle point in the stairway your unit starts increasing in terms of height, it'd make it so you're really FLOATING above the floor, but in practice it'd look like you're walking I suppose.

@youFAILatLIFExD I believe there is a "Walkable" flag on doodads, it would be more easier.

[lbringdoom]

isn't this what they just simply call platforms like in wc3? you use platforms to make it look like you actually walk on the doodad (dont know if it works the same in SC2 but ok)

@Koutes Oh shame :( It looked awesome, why did you quit?

[Koutes]

@grantithan Thanks, tho it doesnt function so good, and no, i stopped working on it.
