Is there anyway to add line of sight blocking to doodads? I have like.. mm.. 15,000 wall parts in a maze like fasion, and i need to make it so u cannot see past each wall.. will this require me to line up los blockers thru all the damn doodads? That would suck on levels that cannot be found on earth. |

If you look in the Object editor, and select patching blocker (ground) and line of sight blocker and compare them, I only see one differens "Art - Occlusion Height". I think if you set the occlusion height to a high number, it will work as a line of sight blocker. |

Try modifying Cliff Height in the Doodad panel? Might work. |

LOS-blockers have cliff height 0, so I dont think that would work... |

I'm trying to add los blocking to lets say.. a piece of wall. I dont see occlusion height on a wall doodad >.< |

what you can do is use the cliff to make the maze and increase the size of the wall doodads and cover the cliff with them ^_^ |

No - thats not good.. blah.. can u add los blocking via a region? Im looking for anyway to make my life easier.. adding 4,000 los blockers side by side really sucks... especially when ur comp is so slow that it takes 2 mins to move the screen over.. (damn 25,000 dooads). |

Use a vision modifier, in a region u dont want them to see in, but then when they get there, they cant see in it |

Note: The unit will dissapear every now and then but the vision doesnt, and the unit remains selected. |

well, trees block vision, im sure u could copy a tree, make it indestuctible or unkillable in whatever fashion u like, and change the model to the wall. That seems like it would work unless im not understanding what you're asking... |

Trees don't block vision |
