[QUOTE=Mr, Jukebox;45619654]How exactly did the bottom of bridges work in the original WC3? I never played it, but didn't it have the same sort of camera angle as Dota 2?[/QUOTE] Bridges were practically just ground, you couldn't go under them in WC3

First playable version of my map is up, vanilla dota. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails?id=297530871[/url]

[QUOTE=Hawt Koffee;45616567]remember that bridge of providence map I drew? [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/IrittZX.png[/thumb] well I tested bridges and they do not work [IMG]https://33.media.tumblr.com/f000d0fe33182e6e04fd2fc886a22e1d/tumblr_n9x6xykB1m1r43xj0o4_1280.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://38.media.tumblr.com/396664bb36dbfbd76e997d3d3197db58/tumblr_n9x6xykB1m1r43xj0o2_1280.png[/IMG] although I anticipated this and was going to go with a design that didn't require going under the bridge in the long run.[/QUOTE] What exactly is the issue here?

You can't walk beneath the bridge.

The Dota 2 tools still aren't working and I need some serious help. I've: Opted in the Steam beta uninstalled, reinstalled, verified integrity of the game cache, nothing was wrong, went into steam folder and deleted appcache folder, restarted computer, and then I ran steam as administrator just in case. Nothing is working. This is stupidly frustrating.

How do I make a custom model count as a pre-existing structure?

[QUOTE=Rarara;45631769]How do I make a custom model count as a pre-existing structure?[/QUOTE] You can set the model for the barracks, ancient, towers etc in hammer.

2 Istances at the same time. Cool tools but I need more documentation on scripting. But the one thing i need to know is how to run the addon's script without have to start it from the standard client. Any ideas? Edit: Just use dota_launch_custom_game my_addon_name my_map_name [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1tMFUCEl.jpg[/IMG]

Anyone have any idea how to create custom game rules? I'm trying to create a king of the hill mode, the map is looking good, now I just need the logic.
