[Solved] Line of Sight problems

[0neM4n4rmy]

Alright, I have a big problem. I'm working on this project, and the hero has an ability to blink. Now the problem is, the player can blink behind doors, when they're not supposed to! I've tried placing line of sight blockers, but any little gap is enough to blink through. Does anyone have any ideas how to block the line of sight of the player, so that he cannot see through the door? Thanks for any replies!

Try this

• T
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(blink))
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (X of (Target point of issued order)) Less than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
      • Else - Actions

or even better something like this:

struct Blink extends array

    public static method stop takes nothing returns nothing
        local location l = GetOrderPointLoc()
        if GetIssuedOrderId() == OrderId("blink") then
        
            if GetLocationX(l) < 0.00 then //Here you set cordinates of area where will you block blink
            
                call IssueImmediateOrder( GetTriggerUnit(), "stop" )
                call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), 0. , 0. , "Forbidden Action!")
            endif
        endif
        call RemoveLocation(l)
        set l = null
    endmethod

    private static method onInit takes nothing returns nothing
        local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
        local integer i = 0
        loop
            call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(t, Player(i), EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_POINT_ORDER, null)
            set i = i + 1
            exitwhen i == bj_MAX_PLAYER_SLOTS
        endloop
        call TriggerAddAction( t, function thistype.stop)
        set t = null
    endmethod
    
endstruct

Make the doors have thicker line of sight pathing and also seem taller so units can not "see over them".

Thank you guys for your replies. They are both very good ideas. I'll try both of them and see if my tester can get through XD. And how do you make doors have thicker line of sight pathing? I didn't find it in the object editor. Anyways, thanks for the replies!

Change their pathing map for a custom made one.

Im sorry Dr Super Good but I don't understand what you are trying to say. How do you change their pathing map? It's not in object editor. Sorry I'm new to this sort of thing.

EDIT: Never mind guys, I found a way. While I was testing Kobas' triggers, I found a gate which I could not see through. It turns out that if you put a line of sight blocker inside the gate, it will block the vision of the unit. Creating a minimum range for blink also helped me make sure my tester could not go through. Thx for all the reply, you've all been very helpful! XD

It's not in object editor

The fields...
Pathing - Pathing Texture (Dead)
Pathing - Pathing Texture

For the gate's destructable object entry control the pathing map it uses.

The field
Art - Occlusion Height

Controls how high the line of sight blocking goes (a field in a unit entry defines how high the unit is).
