I have a building that for some reason can be built on another tower. Its supposed to be just like any other tower and have a little stone looking square under it so it can be part of the maze. Right now it doesnt have the stone under, and creeps run right thru.

how to get this stone and make it able to block?

have u set the collision of the tower to 0?? or even u turn it off?
the tower must have collision to prevent unit run through it..

hmm. but the other towers have pathing-collision size =72, same with this.

also what about the ground under the tower, could this help out better?

Collision I think doesn't affect buildings, they use Pathing Maps..

Art - Ground Texture for the ground texture at the bottom of the tower..

Pathing - Pathing Map
Pathing - Placement Requires

These 2 are the source of collision for buildings..

Pathing - Placements Requires would be Land - Pathable so that it can be built even on unbuildable ground texture but will not be built on cliffs.

Most Towers have Pathing Map of Arcane Tower, Guard Tower, ......
This Pathing Map is for towers in a small size..

Did you perhaps base your building off of a non-building? In that case you will have to change alot of things but I would recommend basing it off of a building, that is of course assuming you based it off a regular unit... other wise take a look at the following in the editor:

Art - Ground Texture
Pathing - Collision Size
Pathing - Pathing Map
Pathing - Placement Requires
Stats - Can be built on
Stats - Can build on
Stats - is a building

Take a look at those values in the object editor and that should help you out! Good luck!

thanks for the help, but so far nothing works.( I dont have those settings to choose from.) I forgot to mention that this i s actually a hero tower. It has been copied and pasted from another td(as well as the abilities and all). Its fully functional except for the tower being able to be built on another, or even in "unbuildable" places.


could it be something in the jass to tell it to be a normal tower?

Even f it is a hero based tower, you can change it into a building so that those options will work.
unbuildable places? set its can be built on to walkable..
And if it is a hero, don't use a None Movement Type..

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
