[Solved] I cannot create FOG in specific area.

[JFAMAP]

As the title says.

• Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Picked player) emitting Visibility across (Entire map)

I can give visibility to players but. How to make opposite? I want to DISABLE visibility.
I was searching topics about that but people we're talking about fog (real fog)

 

[Dr Super Good]

You change it to emitting not Visibility of some sort. This should hide parts of the map, but it may not prevent players from revealing them when units are nearby as I think unit line of sight takes preference over the modifiers to hide visibility.

As Dr Super Good implies the visibility removal (in-game this is called "black mask", and "fog of war" will show silhouettes in the fog but not actual units) will not be permanent. If a player's units move into that area it will become visible. In order to make it permanently un-discoverable you must constantly repeat that action for all players that could potentially see the area. Note that visibility modifiers are objects that should be saved in variables (in memory) and re-used where applicable.

      • Visibility - Enable MapModifier[(Player number of (Picked Player))]

It may be necessary to use some GetLocalPlayer() bologna in the second trigger but for now I suggest you proceed without needing it.

Wow wait. Enabling visibility is a piece of cake but reverting is advanced system like this? Really? World Editor is not includes any feature that create fog something like this?

I found something weird.

This works.

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 2 as An exact match
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for Player 1 (Red) emitting Visibility across (Entire map)
  • Set Visibility = (Last created visibility modifier)

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 1 as An exact match
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Visibility - Disable Visibility

But this one does not works. Why?

  • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Picked player) emitting Visibility across (Entire map)
  • Set Visibility = (Last created visibility modifier)

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing 1 as An exact match
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Visibility - Disable Visibility

This is what i want.

Event: Reveal the entire map for all players.
few seconds later
Action: Hide the entire map for all players.

But i have managed to do that like yours but i have changed it a bit

• For each (Integer IntVolcano) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for (Player(IntVolcano)) emitting Visibility across (Entire map)
    • Set Visibility[IntVolcano] = (Last created visibility modifier)

• FogAc
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing fog as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Visibility - Disable Visibility[(Integer A)]

Thank you @Pyrogasm

In the second one you make a visibility modifier for every single player, but then you only have one visibility variable.

In the second one you are making 12 or 24 visibility modifiers and then setting your variable equal to the last one which is either player 12's modifier or player 24's modifier.

When you disable it in the next trigger, player 1 enters a chat, but the variable 'Visibility' is turning player 12's visibility on/off.

You either need to make 12/24 visibility variables, one for each player.

I have recently solved the issue thanks to the Pyrogasm. Just updated my post and you posted a message.

That doesn't exactly do the same thing. You have made the whole map visible for all players, but then want are trying to revoke visibility by disabling the modifiers. That will not return the areas to black mask. They will stay discovered as Fog of War (where you can see trees and doodads and terrain but not any living units, etc.). In order to make that area dark for everyone, you need to turn on a modifier that emits Black Mask across that region.

If you have achieved a result that satisfies you, then simply ignore me. But I think you want to do the opposite of what you've shown here.

Yes it is okay to me. Thank you so much @Pyrogasm and @Tristronic
