i have the base height set to -8 which is the lowest I have heard of. i placed a secret item inside of a hole and the unit is able to go inside the hole but cant pick up the item. i can move the same item out of the hole and it can pick it up again so for some reason even when they are right beside each other in the hole it cant pick up an item. also if I click on something else I cant reselect the unit I have to use hotkey or drag select. i have only tried in test map I haven't tried to publish and test online.
Maybe the item is out of range when inside the hole or the path (or trajectory) blocks the unit before it reaches the item.
-8 is not the lowest. It's the lowest height for the lowest "cliff" height, a terrain system.
However Units can't go below 0 (gameplay limitation with the game grid). You can emulate the fact it's below 0 with Site Operations (Actors) but bla bla bla, the unit height is at 0 in the end.
When an Actor is below the grid, it might be difficult to select it, so it might be difficult to select the Unit. Some Actor aliases can help :
- "_EditorHelper" adds a pin to make easy the selection when the actor is partly / totally below 0 or covered with a bigger Actor. Works only in Editor.
- "_Selectable" allows touch tests from the click of your mouse and any object on the straight line. Careful, this one is used with the standard game. Works in Editor and in-game.
You may resolve this issue with a bigger radius for your item, to stick out the cliff borders.
I don't have more ideas at the moment.
Have a nice day !
