Q: How steep is too steep to walk across?

[nine2]

Does anyone know how steep a hill has to be before you can't walk across it?

Does this differ for different units?

Thanks

From my trials it appears that it is passable if the difference in height between two adjacent points is (after adjusting for HeightScale) less than 0.75

In the map editor, red is impassable, colourless is passable but unbuildable and green is passable and buildable. You can see the colours by going to view -> debug -> slope (something like that. Also, when making maps, I try to at least have all passages green (33% of the width green is my demanded lower bound. I do this for two reasons: one, having a passage between two cliffs at transparent slope looks hideous imo. Two: passable does not mean passable for lasers. The arc at the top of a hill should be smoot to not heavily favor UEF weapons. You can't directly see whether it's good with just the colours, but a good rule of thumb is that if you have the ascent to the hill at transparent slope, then the arc at the top is too much of a chane for laser turrets and laser tanks to fire over it.

I think the unbuildable and impassable slope values can be changed in the editor, so it should be possible to have different values in all maps. I can't remember correctly though and I'm sure it's never been tried.
