only seeing infront of unit

[Gallin]

it there any way to make it so that a unit just has vison of stuff infront of it ??

Ha! I tried the same thing! What a coincidence

Well, for the "in front" region you would need a big (JASS) algorithm whic I failed to do. With that algorithm you can enum units in that region and this is where I stopped.......what now? How to make them invisible for only one player? Unfortunately, you can't add abilities for only one player (using GetLocalPlayer()), that really sucks, otherwise I'd use invisibility or something.

I believe there is not way, but I could, of course, be wrong. If anyone has an idea, shoot, but I tried everything I know.

or just change camera angle + maybe radius of vision or something like that.

I think he meant like in soldat in realistic mode when you see only units in front of you and units behind you are invisible, I don't think he meant fps view.

 

[Gallin]

yes not fps i just want it so that units can only see infront of them because last time i checked they dont got eyes on the back of there heads

Uhm....you don't see with units, you see from a third person camera perspective (if that's what it's called). Even if you somehow manage to do that, that would have to depend on the unit you selected, right? What if you select multiple units? You would also have to include a limit range of the unit's sight.......wc3 is not an RPG, you know

Hello,

I've been thinking about this for quite a long time. Wanted to make some realistic modern map, and I really need to know if that's possible to make it so any unit in the map (normal view) only reveals a cone of land in front of them, well their field of view.

No first person, no bs, I just want to know if that's possible and how it would work out with multiple units, simultaneously, for each player in the map.

Any ideas?

you could make your units sight range 0 then move 'sight' regions with a forward offset, you would need alot of theese if you wanted a triangle view since regions cant be triangular, but you could do it pretty good with a square view, if you want help with the triggers just pm me

Wouldn't that make the map a bit laggy for online play with many units?

edit: Anyway Maybe a rectangular region in front of unit would fit. The cone isn't that important.

 

[Bloody_Turds]

yea with alot of units it would lag sry though u meant like only a few.
