How do I create a ground-pathable destructable that blocks line of sight?

There's a part in the Object Editor called 'Art - Pathing'. I believe you can choose what shape of a building it is. If you set it to nearly everything except Critters or NONE, then it should block your line of sight. If you still wish to choose Critters or NONE, you can (like Vicboy said) place Line of Sight Blockers in the building wherever you want the line of sight to be blocked.

Uhh, there's a Line of Sight blocker
News for you, the Line of Sight Blocker blocks ground pathing as well... ¬¬

Didn't really get it. I set the Pathing to NONE but still it won't block the pathing.
I mean, whenever the destructible is ground pathable it doesn't block the sight?

Okay, I found a way, +rep fot those who helped me...

You need to set the pathing to something else then NONE or Critters. That way it'll have the pathing of a building and block the Line of Sight.

I realized that the destructible category influence which pathing flags are really counting as occlusing. So now I'm done with it, I just picked a line of sight blocker and changed the pathing to 2x2 Unbuildable.

But he wants it to be pathable. Yet block line of sight.

You can also simply import a custom made pathing map.
The one i attached is Build-,Walk- and Flyable.

Thank you for the effort, but no need of doing it. I'm done with it.
