[Solved] Prevent destructables from sight blocking bigger units

[Eikonium]

Hi guys,

I have a line of sight problem in my map:

A small sized unit, a medium sized tree, a small sized building and a big sized building stand in a line.

            |b|
            |b|
    |t|     |b|
|u|_|t|_|b|_|b|

The unit can see the tree, but it can't see any of the buildings, because the trees are blocking the units line of sight.

How can I let the unit see the tall building (surpassing the tree), but not the small building?
I tried changing occluder heights, but setting a big value to the unit makes everything behind the tree visible, not only bigger stuff...

Much thanks in advance,
Eikonium

I do not think this functionality is natively supported by Warcraft III. You could try simulating it using triggers but these can be computationally intensive for something as basic as vision, especially if applied to a lot of units.

Triggering a proper solution sounds like too much work anyway. I'm going to find a compromise solution with visibility modifiers around the tall building. Doesn't have to be perfect

Thank you very much!
