I believe there is no tile you can't shoot over. But, you can't see over high tile if you stand on low level tile, and you can't shoot what you can't see

the game engine appears to not have any firing restrictions except for vision (or hangar count if its a reaver)

Hangar count is how many scarabs a reaver has build in. If reaver has none then it can't attack

lol, that saying usually applies to Carriers. You could have a probe over the unit that you want to have be able to shoot over cliffs and ect. The probe is invisble, sees higher terrain when its on lower terrain and can't be invaliadly placed.

What the hell are you talking about? Probe is invisible? Can see over walls and can be placed everywhere? Are you using drugs or something?

lol....
and actually if it's a unit that directly attacks it will never attack trought a blocking tile, and if its a long range it can't see up the cliffs and if its reaver, carrier it never can attack unless you build the subunit they carry and if its civilian, dark archon, high templar, or any other unit that don't usually have a weapon, they never attack

just use a ammo system and when the player goes on the terrain he cant shoot take his ammo to 0
there are some tutorials on ammo system

This is easily done with triggers.
• Place burrowed units to for 3x3 grided areas all throughout the map
• Give them to two, three, or four different players (p9-p12)
• Use the same different # enemys for monsters (p1-p8)
• Put a 3x3 location over your hero
• Make pX spawners in the areas of the same fork burrowed units
• Make trigger that states when pX has a burrowed unit in your location, ally the opposite enemy which would be on the opposing cliff or above ground
• You could also blind your hero in addition and this system would ensure absolutely no violations
• For a more accurate system, use another set of burrowed units labled to activiate to the hero's 1x1 location following it...

Basically, here's how Starcraft Engine works. Units never actually shoot each other, projectiles are never used. They just instantly attack them if they can see them. The projectiles that you see, like goliath missles, are just animations. Think of it as a Marine attacking, you never see the projectile, just the instant hit.

So you are saying that marines never kill zerglings?! Then how come they survive?!

he's saying that there arent any microscopic sized sprites that need to touch the enemy unit to kill it
so if you took away the animation, the marine would be standing still but the enemy unit will be losing health

Triggers can mimic this terrain blockage like I said above a while ago...
