Making units follow a certain path?

[jak3u]

How can I make spawned units walk only only a certain terrain? Like for example, I want this unit to walk only on cobble path and not on the grass.
How do I do this? o.0

Like for a maul type game?

I've never played any maul games so I have no idea what it is.

So let's say I made a maze with a cobble path. It's the same terrain height as the grass beside it. How can I make units only walk on the cobble path and not on the grass?

Well I'm not sure how to make the grass act as a boundary to just one unit, but you could make the grasses into a region(s) and whenever the unit/type of unit walks in it you move it out? I mean, that won't make a unit go around the grass as if it was an actual boundary.

Is there a way I can trigger them so that they avoid the grass regions? I really want a boundary.
I have 2 regions. Test1 & Test2. I want the units being spawned in Test1 to move to Test2 without being able to go on the grass. The cobble path from Test1 to Test2 is a maze.

Here's my trigger for the "Grass Borders":

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters Grass1 <gen>
  • Unit - A unit enters Grass2 <gen>
  • Unit - A unit enters Grass3 <gen>
  • Unit - A unit enters Grass4 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 9 (Gray)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of Test1 <gen>)

But the problem is since the path is a maze, they keep going on the grass to take a shortcut. And because of the trigger, they just end up back where they started.

Is there another way?

In the Doodad Palette you can add Pathing Blocker (Air) and Pathing Blocker (Ground) around the grass and cobble. You could put pathing blocker air around all the cobble path and change the units on the cobble path to the air type to restrict their movement to just that path, and same for the grass with ground. Dunno if this is what you want but it's another option for you.

Ahhh thanks!! That worked really well!!
