Praetor

So, when I place turrets and whatnot around, if they're on a small hill, the hill will be deformed from the turrets. I've tried removing the footprints all-together and it still does it, so idt that has anything to do with it. Any ideas on how I'd prevent them from deforming hills they're placed atop?

EDIT: Crap, I should really look into these things a little more before I post about them, now I feel like I'm farming minerals. :| If a mod feels it necessary, be free to remove.

The solution was in the actor itself, there's a terrain flatten event in there.

It should be noted that for Protoss buildings, it's not an Event... To stop them from deforming the terrain, you must select the Protoss building's Actor, set the editor to Show Advanced Properties (it's a button above the tabs), go to the Event tab, scroll down, and remove BuildingFlattenTerrainMacro from the Actor's Macros.

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- below the minimap should be a thing that says "Overlay Settings" with a little + button in the corner, press the + to expand it, uncheck Use Defaults, then change "Tile Overlay" to "Height"

Sylph-Of-Space -- It would be so so so nice if SCMDraft had some kind of dedicated "walkability" view for the tilesets.
