We do a little trolling

Let's say you have some rectangular high terrain and low terrain right next to each other like this:

HL
LH

How would a building or a large unit such as an ultralisk be affected by this in regards to chance to be hit. When on high terrain units only have a 70% chance (IIRC) of being hit, but I have no idea how terrain like that would affect that. Could you possibly change to chance to hit to 85% like that, or would it work differently?

I don't think its gonna matter.. I believe you need indexed tiles for that affect

Huh? How do you think it would affect it then? Say a cannon was sitting on top of the high and low terrain grid, how often would it get hit?

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

For the photon cannon it depends on the right lower tile (I just tested it.).
For a Bunker it depends on the south tile in the middle.

x = high terrain
0 = low terrain

the building is un high ground, when...
photon cannon:
00
0X
bunker:
000
0X0
factory:
0000
00X0
0000
psi disruptor:
00000
00X00
00000
refinery:
0000
00X0
xel naga temple:
00000
00000
00X00
00000
protoss temple:
0000000
000X000

SC probably calculates the middle point of the unit and checks the tile that's under it to know what elevation the unit is steping on.

Yeah, it seems to based on his finds. And when the center is in between tiles, as with buildings it will go down and right. :D Cool, thanks Ahli.
