Hi guys, I opened my terrain editor once again and I noticed that when I lower the terrain with terrain deformers, all the ground units just float in the air while the shadow follows the terrain. Is there an actor event that could works? I don't want to use triggers because I will be obligated to put a region for each coordinates in the map. I must say, everything works well when I raise the terrain, but not when I lower it.
Is someone got the same problem? I put this thread here because I don't know where to put it. Thanks!
Edit : I just post an image of what I mean. You can see that the cursor doesn't follows the terrain too.
Maps have a base height in their original/updated pedigree, when u mess with it.. "rest is above my pay-grade to solve though sorry"
.. that is where i would start looking (map/options), also all units/actors are defined with individual heights, hence the correlation between unit/map is ever present and there is a superseding order applied to those (map before unit or reverse) which varies apparently (again i'm only on page 13 of the manuel).
i'd check my base height and raise it :)
i'd tick or untick the following option: all units use base height
Ok, I'm not sure that I have understand everything, but changing the base height is not an answer because I need to change the height many times during the game. So I can have a height of +2 now and have a height of -5 2 minutes later. I'll try to see of there's an event for every unit's height actor.
Now it's clear, thanks for your advice. It partially answers my question.
So I needed to do 2 things : 1. I uncheck the all units base height flag (It makes all ground units to follow the terrain with relative height) and 2. I just modified the fly movers in data tab (to prevent air units to 'dig' in high mountains or be very high in low mountains).

As mentioned previously, look for the "All Units Use Base Height" flag under Map > Map Options.

It's been a long time but I've dealt with terrain deformers if you have any more questions.
