I've tried two tutorials i've found and it must just be my editor, but when I make the footprint for the bridge, I cannot find it in the drop down list for footprints for the bridge in the terrain objects menu. Help?
lol I was just about to post something about this. I am almost finished with my map but i need to figure out how to make a path-able bridge ill post again if I figure it out.
Use the bridge mar sara diagonal. Cardinal prolly works too. You can see it in example in Raynor03 campaign mission.
One problem I had with the bridges is that the camera falls through it if it is following the unit (height displacement options didn't help), just a note.
Alright, i'll give it a shot and see what I can come up with. Also when I placed a Monlyth light bridge the doodad never appears when i load the map even when using the Monlyth terrain object :(
Well the cardinal/diagonal bridge is pathable ... over a valley 1x1 wide. Why? because the stupid thing won't raise with the terrain with anything wider than 1x1. it's really frustrating now.
Has anyone gotten bridges to work/show up properly? I like bridges, it adds a certain flare to maps and I would like to know if anyone else has been successful with them.
Ok, so I've solved the missing footprint issue ... but the bridge the tutorial had me make is/was waaay too long :( really dumb.
Except i'm not sure how I solved it. I loaded up the editor today and the footprint is there. But now if I try to change it ... it's not working now :(
You can raise the bridge yourself if it doesn't want to stay at the right level, just go to properties and set the height. One level of cliffs = 8 units. Worked for me.

I don't even know if they work yet, since the previous terrain objects seem to have permanently screwed my terrain and I can't seem to fix it.

Still not sure how I am going to accomplish this bridge task. Anyone else had success with bridges?
Serves as a bump too buddy.
