Sliding and Trees

[baka-ranger]

So how exactly would I go about making a sliding unit, slide through other units, yet not slide through trees?

Add it Ghost (Visible) instead of turning off collision?

Always check for destructibles around while sliding? Just Pick destructible... etc, if the number of Picked destructible is greater than 0, then stop slide.

I read some where that Ghost (visible) works in the way that, other units ignore the pathing of the unit with the ability rather than the unit ignoring pathing.

Anyhow, I tested it and it didn't work. I couldn't slide through other units, but couldn't slide through trees.

Any other ideas?

EDIT::
Will test, I don't suppose destructible groups leak?

> destructible groups leak?

It doesn't.

Well it works, so thanks for that.
It's just a bit funny in that, although the pathing stops you from walking inbetween the trees normally, I had it checking in a range of the slide interval and I could still fit "between" the trees. Anyhow, I'll just up the check range.

Use set unit x/y and check if the pathings walkable?

I do check for walkability, so that they don't slide off the map or up cliffs, but it doesn't seem to affect the trees.
I also don't think it'd make a difference if I used the X,Y slide method.

Is terrain pathable..
