During beta you could do all sorts of awesome things with ramps. I have been trying to get a single ramp from cliff level 3 to level 1. Please see http://i.imgur.com/Rnn1I.jpg and you can clearly see said ramp from a beta map I have.
Why is this no longer possible? I have had a few other people try and they just cant get it to work. at best you end up with something like this http://i.imgur.com/PvTDu.jpg.
Anyone have any sort of idea how this can be done?
Welcome to sc2mapster! Feel free to PM me with any question you have :D
I have never been able to make a ramp span more than 1 cliff level. Ever. Although I was not in the beta since the very start... I got in when they let people with pre-orders play it. But I have never thought its possible to do that. What you can do, though, is make a ramp from level 3 to 2 and then another ramp right next to it from 2 to 1.

Good question, I would've liked those ramps. I assume they simply got thrown out of Blizzard's design for SC2 because they in some way didn't work well pathing-wise. I don't think it can be done anymore, not easily anyway. Even if the files for it are still in the game, you'd have to manually modify the editor or using a third party one to get the same effect.
Yeah I would like it if we could do that but yeah.... :( I think wc3 had the same deal. No ramps more than 1 cliff level....Although wc3 supported infinite cliff levels, which was nice.
Sigh thanks? maybe i can get my hands on a working sc2 beta editor and do the ramps in that? I just know and remember this being possible I see no reason for them to remove such a awesome possibility they work fine and cause no issues even if they don't use them. Why cant they be available :(
Maybe I just finish that map and be super awesome cause I have amazing ramps :D
EDIT: I copy and pasted the ramp from my one map into my new map and it works :D
Nevertheless, it's interesting. Does this work in-game? Flying units pass over it normally, ground units don't screw up on pathing and can't access the second cliffbase by randomly walking halfway up the ramp? If so, post some screenies. If it all works, then hell, upload that map, because until we've found something better/a way to crack half the editor, this is the only way to do two-story ramps.
Wait what!!??? We can't do those anymore??? I remember making those in the beta, I thought Wow cool! So apparently we can't do them anymore? That stinks... :(

Curse Premiumlol don't delete that map file. It may be the only way we can do multi-level cliffs. O.o
Should I upload a map with the ramps so others can copy paste? They are a bit hard to work with but they do indeed work correctly...

lol I was kind of kidding :D
