Default Why can't mines hit flying units?

One question, why can't the techies mines hit air units? i know their obviously buried in the ground but can't they invent some anti air piece that fires shrapnel into the air? its just annoying when i forget about this and accidentally try to blow up the harpies only to have that camp be useless the whole game.

the other reason would be for "those people" you know the ones who do it on purpose just to screw with their team?

discuss below

Can you throw a C4 grenade to blow up an airplane in the sky?

Maybe the explosion of mines is not strong enough to reach the air units.

Because the units aren't flying(save the ancients) they're hovering and haven't been given a trigger to make mines explode when they enter the aoe like hovering heroes have.

Seriously shut the fuck up already. I can't take your retardness anymore. You are correct about everything you have said in your life up until this point. If you believe in a religion you can also hold me responsible for any sins you have committed. Just get the fuck out of my face.

it isnt a common logic dude...the OP has a point..why does the flying heroes can hit by the so-called "landmines" and why are the harpy's dont? maybe its a minor glitch..in common sense, flying units shouldn't be hit by it but then puck,jakiro,OD etc( flying units) can trigger the explosion...

I think that's the cause of engine limitation.

Considering everything the devs have coded into the warcraft 3 engine im pretty sure they can add this in. and...in the world editor you can set how a unit is targeted so all theyd have to do is check the Ground box, which makes sense considering harpies can't actually fly...so......
