Hello, not sure how active this forum is, but I have a map making question and would love any advice.
I’m a pretty popular map maker for the zombie mod community (about 50k plays on my maps) and I am working on my next map.
It will give worker units (probes, scvs and drones) the ability to build different sized rocks within the landscape of the map in order to create walls and change the pathing of attacking zombies.
I’ve created the buttons in each workers command card, attached them properly to each kind of rock I’d like to give each player the ability to make. However when I test the map, click the button and even see the proper preview of the rock the worker should be able to build, every or anywhere I move the rock in order to place it, I am denied with the error message “can’t find placement location”.
Does anyone know what would be causing this problem and how to fix it?
It could be an issue related to the footprint of the rock structure. I believe there are placement requirements in the footprint, and if you are reusing a doodad footprint (since its a rock) the placement part may not be in there.
Also if you have questions about Mapping/Modding in SC2 I would suggest joining the SC2 Mapster's Discord, as it has more active users than the forums who might be able to help: https://discord.gg/rbnHxRRuZe
