Stop Units Garrisoned?

Hi there everyone. Is there a way to not allow a specific building be garrisoned but still remain an physical entity and not a visual prop that units can walk through?

* Make it a visual and then just stuff it with blockers?

Is there any solution that might be easier?

Cheers

Bear.

Nope. You have to work with blockers and/or the impass editor.

Well. You can destroy each building but i thought u dont want to add ruins?
Ruined building will remain as physical objects.

I tired blocking and creating impasse areas around the desired buildings but it forces units too far away from the buildings it begins looks un-natural when they path around. Sometimes they find gaps and just port into the building....
I decided to just go for the total destruction of the building to force its health to 0 and the building then becomes un-enter able. I have managed to hide the damage inside of the buildings.

It has the desired effect so i'm happy.

Sometimes I wish they would just add a toggle enter able function in the "edit state" forms...

Man, I was just about to ask this question... I can't even seem to get the blocks to work right. Damn guys just keep running right in there.

So your saying that if i set the building health to zero they can't enter? But the building don't look damaged?

Sethealth command is not working. You have to "destroy" a building to prevent any unit from garrison inside the building. Any building with health below 50% cant be used for a garrison. You can check it with the "Overlay > Toggle Entity Overlay" command. All buildings marked in red cant be used as a garrison.

You would have to disable the hold function. There might be a way to do that with Scar if you want it to be map specific. Try to send a message to a Scar expert, like Janne.

Any developments here? I'm having the same issue right now... want to make a building-filled map but I don't want the units to be able to garrison the building.

Hope to hear from you guys!

Alright, Janne525 got the ''fix'' after working back and forth for a few weeks.
First you must add all your buildings in the map to an entity group and call this group eg_buildings

Then you replace the mapname_ID.scar with the following text:

function OnInitID()

-- [[ Markers ]]

-- [[ Squad Groups ]]

-- [[ Entity Groups ]]
eg_buildings = EGroup_CreateIfNotFound("eg_buildings")
Rule_AddOneShot(eg_buildings_Init, 0.125)
end

function eg_buildings_Init()
Modify_DisableHold(eg_buildings, true)
end

Do this AFTER you save the map, then extract the package in worldbuilder and still without saving the map you leave the worldbuilder.

Load up your map and you can proceed to play it without units being able to garrisson buildings.

Hope this was clear enough!
