Removing Texture / Adding Space

[Exide]

Hi.

Feels like I'm all new to this forum again.
I recently got my copy of Starcraft 2, and now I'm ready to begin mapping again.

My first question is: how can I remove the texture that is automatically created when I start a new document?
I want to create a space platform with "void" (space) between the platforms, but I can't remove the automatically generated texture.

If you just want the space background, choose a space platform set like Avernus or Braxis Alpha, then lower the terrain. I hope that's what you wanted, otherwise just reply here.

Yes, I would like to remove the floor and show the space background.
I tried lowering the terrain with the raise/lower terrain tool, but it didn't work. -I probably misunderstood you.

You can turn off the terrain tiles under the Terrain Objects section of the Terrain layer. Just remove the tiles that you don't want to see.

That's what I was looking for, thanks. :thup:

The problem now is that units can walk on the terrain anyway. Meaning ground units will just walk off the ledge and hang in mid-air over space.

Is there a way to fix this automatically? Or do I need to put pathing blockers manually around every edge?

Change it to the Pathing layer and remove the ground pathing.

 

[Exide]

There is no painted pathing by default.
However I can paint ground pathing if I want to, but my units ignore it just the same.

Sorry, you need to add No Pathing.

Does it prevent air movement as well?
