Place a unit inside another unit?

[gunnershotz]

Or a building inside another building?

 

[Napenthe]

For what purpose? What are you trying to do exactly?

Unit inside another unit = Load Cargo (Ship) Ability (In unit abilities)
Building inside other building, I'm not sure...

 

[gunnershotz]

I want to place like a tower inside a barrack. If thats possible. And some other stuff like it, For looks.

It could probably be done by changing the object editor settings for a building and setting the collision size to 0. this will also make the building so people can walk through it but that can maybe be fixed with pathing blockers.

You may also need to change the 'Stats - can be built on line' attribute to true.

Edit: I tested it and it looks like you only need to change 'Pathing map' to none to create a building you can place another building on top of (which is helpful knowledge for me. I've been wondering how to make illusory walls that units can walk through).

Thanks! Turns out you need to do both setting collision size to zero and the pathing map = none to do it!

Thanks for your help +Rep!

if you just want it for looks you can use doodads with no pathing and just put pathing blockers around it... it wouldnt be selectable but its an easy way to do it...
