Anyone tested this? I would just im busy, Heaps busy.

wtf are you talking about... you can change the terrain levels in teh editor with various buttons and/or commands... and in the game different terrain levels make no difference.

Joseph you newb :P He's saying you can change elevation in-game by creating and then removing a house.

Sure this'll work, but it'll cause lag and after a while people who see the flat 8x8 tile patch of flatness are gonna know you used the create/remove building trick.

It could look cool, but most likely it'll cause lag, and the house'll prolly show up for a split instant before being removed - thus giving the whole trick away.

Oh and you can't seem to be able to create units where theres other units, so again, more problems to complicate this trick.

I personally think it's too mutch of a hastle for sutch a small trick

This sort of reminds me how Ingo van Thiel discovered the trick in AoK in which you would create and remove bridges via triggers. When the bridge was created, a patch of water would appear under it, and when the bridge was removed at the same time, the patch of water would stay. It made for some pretty amazing effects in a couple of his scenarios, like the one where he managed to simulate a flood (or something along those lines).

I don't think that this trick could have the same ramifications, but who knows? Grasping at straws is usually how most new design tricks are discovered.

I think it could make a very neat effect where you could like create a road through a hilly area, because it also makes the ground below tiled.

Would take a lot of work tho.

Good idea death_wisher_mog =). The only downside to this is that buildings don't appear when you use trigger. Only the foundation shows up :\.
