New Editor Trick:
Stacking Thor's hammer heads without using hills

I was playing around in the editor of The Rise of Zeus when I cam across a most peculiar trick. I could stack Thor's hammer heads without keeping them on a hill.
To do this, first you have to stack them normally on a hill. Then you bring the terrain down and the hammer heads stay in place! I don't know if anyone found this out before so don't yell at me.

I did this trick on some old ruins in The Rise of Zeus and this was the result:

This trick will allow you to make very creative walls and buildings. Also, a unit cannot pass throught the Thor hammer head pieces.

Another thing you can make with this technique is floating bricks!

* I do not really understand this trick because it works sometimes but doesn't work other times based on the formation of the hammer heads.

I also tried this trick on an aztec temple I made.

Cant use it for scenario's: If you save and than load the scenario the hammers will be back on ground. Cool nonetheless.

nice try, but the hammerheads will come back to the ground when scenario is reloaded.....so in other words, is just an editor bug....same happens with "papyrus" and other objects.

but nontheless, cool

I actually didn't know this, I just never ended up doing this. The same thing does happen with the lava flowing unit, it will remain at the height it was at when it was placed, but it will revert to the correct height when the scenario is played. So only good for screenshot use.

I have made fire float in The Councils Bad Decision 2, a long time ago, and it stays during gameplay.

Also in The Oracle of Puemite, I made those sparkly things float, if you look at this pic, you will see the sparkly things are in front of the dragon, not behind him, some are behind him, but many are in front of him.

Oh, that sucks that you can't reload it. I haven't tried that.

Wow, great find pEpsIdUDe.
Now, could someone give a listing of the objects that stay put after reloading and during gameplay?

Footprints work too, which could be interesting.
