Footprint

Line 97:

Some maps can have areas where players can place towers where they visually wouldn't fit (e.g. the altar in [[Encrypted]]) and in the other hand, there are also places where towers that can fit are restricted, for example, [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilots]] cannot be placed in on the top right section of [[Erosion]], but [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farms]] can despite having a larger footprint.

Towers and Heroes do not change their footprint when they are upgraded, even if the model is visually larger, which is specially evident on [[Paragon|Paragons]]; however, this behavior has one exception, which is when a [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]] is upgraded into a [[Sun Temple (BTD6)|Sun Temple]], in this case the footprint grows from a radius of 8 units to a rectangle with a width of 37 units and a height of 40 units. This usually does not have any interactions with other regular towers as they are sacrificed when the upgrade is purchased, but as the Sun Temple cannot sacrifice Powers or Heroes, if they are placed right next to the Super Monkey before being upgraded, they will end up inside of the Sun Temple's footprint; this interaction does not impact the towers and can ~~bet~~ moved away by using the Redeployment ability of a [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]].

This behavior is usable in [[Freeplay]] strategies to save space for [[Tech Bot (BTD6)|Tech Bots]], [[Hero (BTD6)|Heroes]], and [[Paragons]] by placing them around Super Monkeys that are intended to become Sun Temples later in the game. Also, there is a small window of time after purchasing the Sun Temple where after the Monkeys around it are sacrificed but before its footprint grows, which can be exploited by using a Support Chinook to move a tower right next to the Sun Avatar during the transform animation so it ends inside the Temple's footprint.
