Placing Unit above the terrain

#1 Hehee, I think i figure it out people ;)

in the RTSUnit.cc file

function processTick(const Move *move)
change the adjustment of the z position of the unit to allow it to be > terrain height if wanted.
old code:
if (mFabs(location.z - height) > 0.01)
{
location.z = height;
setMaskBits(MoveMask);
}
}
PROFILE_END();

new code:

if (location.z< height && mFabs(location.z - height) > 0.01)
{
location.z = height;
setMaskBits(MoveMask);
}
}
PROFILE_END();

now we allow RTSUnits to be above or On the terrain but not bellow..

#2 *chuckle*

That's really cool. I hadn't thought of having flying units, but hey, why not?

How does it work if you move the camera "through" a flying unit? Do you get a really funky interior view of the object, or something else?

#3 Yes you will see the interior view of the object, since there is no restriction for that.

but i don't think that this will be a problem since the RTSunit in an RTS game will be relatively small so the chance that the camera will stop inside the unit will be rare.(if you allow it to move in the first place...).

#4 That's a very good point.

How do selections work? Do you click on the unit itself (the air above the ground), or the ground under the unit?

I appreciate your answers, as it'll save me time to know what to expect later (and anyone else who finds this thread).

#5 I added your code suggestion. Something I noticed is that he green circles around the selected units no longer appears.
