Ehh, I give up. What's wrong? (create fog in region)

[Lightning]

Trying to launch a trigger that will sustain fog of war in a region (fog of hades), that will operate despite that the map as a whole is running a night and day cycle that provides fog of war on the map during night, and displays the entire map during the day. (Time: 18:00, enable FOW, set sky to Fogged Sky, Time: 6:00, disable FOW, set sky to Lordaeron Summer Sky)

But, it's not working, and this is the lame attempt to fix it I made (which doesn't work anyway). Help?

Fog and Fog of War are different.

You can copy paste a trigger as text:

Your trigger leaks, a lot.

Well, yes. I'm aware of the difference. The attempted goal is to prevent players from seeing that particular region unless they have units in it - all the time - while night and day still triggers fog / no fog on the rest of the map. Perhaps you can suggest a method of accomplishing this?

Also, since I'm new (n0oO0ob!), I'd love a 3-10 word explanation of what trigger leaks essentially are.

+rep if you provide a decent reply for both

EDIT - yep, I know the trigger sucks - is just trying to get any visible result, cause nothing I've tried has worked.

How about you enable black mask at the region you want to always be hidden, but only fog of war elsewhere?

a leak is essentially an object that's been created but not destroyed or recycled. Almost all variables (like locations or regions) leak if not properly destroyed.

You can't give +rep yet, but thanks for the offer

there's something called enable weather effect, use it when creating one...

Oh. Options > Video > Particles > High (not Low). Solves weather effect mystery, but still no black mask!
