Ceiling deleteing itself

So when you place in a fake ceiling item it seems to delete any existing ceiling above it, to which I tried to fix it by putting in another fake ceiling above the already existing fake ceiling. This causes 1 of 2 things to happen.
1. The first fake ceiling ends up being destroyed.
or
2. The editor completely crashes.
Anyone know why this is happening, and if there is a way to fix it? At the moment I just have the start of my tunnel without a fake ceiling so that the real ceiling above it doesn't break and cause a black spot in my map.
*Edited in hopes to make more sense xD, was in a public space listening to people argue the first time around.

Any chance of a full restructuring of this statement from the ground up? (pun intended)

The same problem I ran into, Nutjob, sheesh. You even replied!

Because you can't see through the first?
Now see, this is two ceilings on the same tile at two different elevations, so overlapping is more difficult:
Elevation 2
Elevation 0

I've had to go with a temporary solution of no Ele-0 ceiling and an Ele-2 bridge instead, but this issue keeps coming up as I build, so if anyone has a real solution I would appreciate it.
Elevation 2
Elevation 0

This happens because the ceiling objects are defined to automatically replace other ceilings (just like an alcove object will replace the wall object). The original assets have simply not been made for cases like these so you probably can work around the issue by defining your own ceilings for these special cases. Here's an untested object definition that you could try out:
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "dungeon_ceiling_overlap",
baseObject = "dungeon_ceiling",
replacesCeiling = false,
}

See, what
seems to be a harsh initial reply, has got the reworked question two
helpful responses.

What do I need to watch/read to use this?

You can add this definition to your objects.lua (for example). You can find the file in your mod's "mod_assets\scripts\" folder.

Thanks for the feedback on my question guys, for the code below if I wanted to switch it from a Dungeon Ceiling to a Castle's Ceiling would I just need to change the base Object to a Castle Ceiling or is it called something other than castle_ceiling?
Original
defineObject{
name = "dungeon_ceiling_overlap",
baseObject = "dungeon_ceiling",
replacesCeiling = false,
}
Replacement
defineObject{
name = "castle_ceiling_overlap",
baseObject = "castle_ceiling",
replacesCeiling = false,
}

Oh my god I have discovered something amazing
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "remove_ceiling",
baseObject = "invisible_platform",
replacesCeiling = true,
}
