Passable bridge over river

[Mars_PL]

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if it's possible to make a passable bridge over the river. For gameplay issues I could just rise (or raise? help with that pls ;) ) the terrain and clear blocking area there. But, as you well know, visual effect is also important. So i question: do anyone have idea how to make a bridge with non-interrupted water flow underneath?
Second question would be: is it possible then, to make it passable also under the bridge?
If not, or if it's too complicated, I would just make shallow waters there.

of course, ive had the same idea for while now, i can do this for you and write back

when its done, shouldnt take alot of time. :)

the only problem might be the vision underneath the bridge tho, but this should be possible, and i can script so you see the outlines of the heroes atleast. :D

How could it be made? Lots of scripts? If it needs complicated scripting, then I can simply make what i wrote in 1st post. Describe method, please. :)

Part relating to passing under the bridge was just to satisfy my curiosity.

yes i also think this can be made, easily tbh ;)...

Hey there !

It can be done, yes. I'v done something similar in one of my test maps, there are different ways of doing it.

Here's an example:


Walkable Bridge How-to

Open up Deform tab, make a flat plane where you want the bridge to be. Place the bridge model or whatever you'd like the bridge to look like (here's just a couple of log models placed together) Slightly below the ground or half way in to the flat plane.

Now go to Cliff tab, look for the tool with the eraser icon on the right, LMB to erase the visible flat plane.

Now that you got your fake bridge done, place some terrain blockers (or the invisible collision _surfs found under /tools in entity window) around it so that the units won't be able to walk off it in to the river.

Place some rocks or bushes around and under it to hide the seems.
Done!
