If you want to texture it you can still just reveal the terrain cells. This way also allows you to bridge between cliffs/area of even different heights. Er, can you explain this in further detail? Are you referring to a terrain object? If you could, in fact, bridge between two cliff levels, that would be pretty special. | ||

Well, theoretically you could make an invisible ramp using an invisible cliff, and then build it out of doodads, just like with the bridges here. | ||

I don't think this would actually work all that well, mostly because it still uses the bridge doodad, which doesn't allow creep spread or forcefields. Also, trying to make a rampbridge would be tricky, because cliffwalkers ignore ramps more or less, so you'd have to make the bridge's appearance compensate for that. | ||

Right, but I meant without the ramp, which would be quite significant for the possibility of emulating more than 3 pathable height levels. Though I doubt it's possible. Although, a rampbridge from main to natural would look so fucking cool.

You would just have to make the cliff unpathable on either side of the rampbridge (or have a trench), and then they'd path over the bridge as though it were a normal connecting chokepoint. | ||

The issue of course being that you can't re-add the terrain tiles. Instead, you have to actually remove some, then use pathing paint or 1x1 pathing blockers to make the black areas unpathable. I actually did this on Odd-Eye previous to the patch, since it was easier to place doodads on the invisible ground that it was to raise them all to the exact height along an invisible cliff. | ||
