but why should pathfinding be a problem for the AI? if the walls are defined as STRUCTUREs the units wander around it like they do with any other structure or am I wrong? :tard:
So, and since we're already talking about walls, what about gates that open / close automatically like they did in Tiberian Sun?

I have not tried it with walls, but you could try having the OCL specify:
DiesOnBadLand = Yes
Like for the rebel ambush, where rebels that spawn on water or slope will die, or maybe make the wall parachutable and put it in a parachute, since whatever is in a parachute always dies on slopes or water.
As for the gates, there is a gate like object that does seem to open or close to let only your own team through, it is the object AmericaCheckpoint in FactionBuilding.ini
