Spawning with no location placement restriction

[exortas]

Hey!

Could someone explain me how to do unit spawning with no placement error without using triggers for training?
e.g. I have building which has single trigger to use ability to spawn first unit every time it (event) trains a unit. How can I make that unit to be spawned even if building is surrounded with other buildings in every corner?

Have you tried checking the "Ignore blockers flag" in the "Effect Creation Options +" field in the create unit effect?

 

[exortas]

thanks, Thats a start, but how do you find effect for train unit ability? or add it

 

[Siretu]

Ah, my bad. You're using a train ability which means there is no create unit effect.

Try checking the "Disable Collisions" flag in the train ability's "Stats: Flags" field.

 

[exortas]

Yeah, that was one of the first things I tried, this and "Stats:range" increase, no success

 

[Siretu]

Okay, in that case I think you should try it without the train ability. Instead make a "Effect - Instant" ability and create a "Create Unit" effect and link the ability to the effect. Then use the ignore blockers flag.

Ok, this might be one solutions, but would it be possible to show train progress(maybe as dummy training with no actual unit spawning) and how would it be interruptible and resumable?

 

[Siretu]

All of these things should exist in the ability, I think.

Ok, thanks, ill try to give it more time now
