I think I've seen that somewhere, its either an ability you need to add or under the movers section for the unit. Try changing "Movement - Mover" to Cliff Jumper. EDIT: Anyone know how to make triggers run more often? | ||

The incentive to go for the back mineral-only expansion is that it is easy to take and absolutely safe to do so (if the cliffs are not transcendable by reapers/collossi). | ||

![[image loading]](http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt55/KinosJourney/WTFbug.jpg) Can anyone help me with this? I can't place resources/buildings above the red line, i don't know why. I've been told it's map borders but i highly doubt its the problem cause i got minerals on the bottom part of the map. EDIT: I managed to fix it, it was the map bounds. But fixing it screwed up the map pretty badly ^_^ | ||

View -> Show Terran -> Show Bounds if you're outside the lines, you can't place And the reason you can at the bottom and not at the top is there is more no-build-zone at the top. And I had problems with it too, what I did was start a new map and copy paste parts from the old map into the new one. Helped me a lot. | ||

I tried that at first, had trouble. This is what I use: 1. Use the selection tool (Tools->Selection Mode) 2. Select the area you want to 'copy' 3. Do your rotation/symetry (Edit->Flip/Rotate) 4. Copy 5. Undo rotation/flip of original 6. Paste where desired basically, select, rotate, copy, undo, paste Result of my work in progress: ![[image loading]](http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/9390/pitsday2.jpg) | ||

What size maps are you guys making? Anyone know what some of the maps on beta are for reference? Cheers, Taco Here is an overview. This was just done in 30 or so minutes mostly just layout. Its super narrow at most of the chokes but I think i made the map half the size it needs to be. And i didn't spend tiem getting all of hte minerals / gas set totally right at the expansions. Though its hard to see there are xel naga towers in the middle and bottom & top corners. There is a viel of brush hiding vision between the ruins blocking vision on gold expos and there are shrubs blocking vision next to the wide middle ramps on the lower levels blocking vision into the the side chasms. Its very much a work in progress and any improvements on flow are welcome. to re-size the map, go to Map -> Map Bounds... then you can set the boundary, as well as expand the map in any direction. There should be a check box that says "modify map bounds" click on it, and your golden. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y76/onisagi/bridge_sample.jpg) Then filled in the floor with the Road brush under Terrain Layer for the bridge sections that are missing the floor. Hopefully this helps some people that just wanted bridges to not look like unnatural land formations. You can play with the bridge doodad x/y/z scale to hide the land better, as well as move the water level higher and hide the land, if you're concerned about the ridiculousness of having land underneath a bridge. Lots of things you can do to hide the land. (Note: i dont think anybody has said anything about moving the elevation of water -> when you're adding water to the terrain there's an "Edit Water" button near the bottom allowing "Height" amongst other things to be changed for the particular water brush you've selected. I've come to the conclusion that blizzard never intended us to have overpasses that allow units to walk over other units. Not unless they start allowing us to adjust pathing by elevation (aka fun with walking in midair). | ||
