How does it work?

can you be more specific i don't get it like how does a floating object work... you want to make one or u wanna know how they do it?

Can you be more specific? If you mean like when you have floating units like builders in most TDs, it's only a matter of fooling around with the unit editor.

Sorry. In Doodads there is an option saying "Object Float?" or something like that. As far as I know, nothing happens when I toggle this.

The only current way I can see how to make things "float" is to give them a flying or hovering movement and set their movement height and minimum to something above zero to get a floating dude.

FYI, the builders in TDs don't really have to fly. Make them hover close to the ground and you'll see them practically walk up cliffs.

I'm not sure, but my best guess is since it's a doodad, it refers to whether or not the object floats in water. Try it out.

You know the swayey things that are water doodads? There you go, there made to gently float like they were in water, used specifically in water. So, if you made a crate float, youc ould put it in water and it would gently sway on the currents, looking awesome.

If you want them to float in the air, you could give them the float ability, go to the main window, then hold ctrl + Page Up and Down and move them up and down. That's what I did with my orbs, and it looks rather awesome.

Hmm...interesting. That's a cool piece of info
