See-Through Fog

[Bloody_Demise]

I know I might sound crazy, but is there a way to make doodads show through the fog, without being tinted black? Kind of like the towers in Tides of Blood, how you can see them, but cant actually select them or see their life? I really would like to refrain from making the whole map visible just to make the doodads look better

There's an option for the doodads, says something like: Visible in Fog
Check that, and you should be good to go.

Yeah, it's in the Object Editor. However you'll need to apply it to all doodads individually. You can also set it so the doodad is animated and shows while in fog-of-war. I'm pretty sure this option is in the "Art" category.

Well, there's an "animate in fog" (or so) option, but that only works for waterfalls AFAIK.

I'm pretty sure it applys to torches, braizers, windmills, etc.
By default, the waterfall and fountains are animated in fog-of-war. The rest you'll have to do own your own.
[Edit]:
Oh and I have a question that I just can't seem to answer myself. As you can see in the World Editor, when you apply a Linear fog, it fogs the sky AND ground. Not completely, but it makes them hazey and looks realistic. However whenever I apply the trigger:

Event: Map Initialization
Condition: n/a
Action: Environment- Create Fog

Something like that.

But when ever I make the fog in-game using that trigger, the sky appears to not be applying the fog; only the ground area is fogged! Is there a way to make the fog exactly like it in the World Editor? Or is this some kind of bug in WC3 like the arrow key delays?
Thanks in advance;

I've tried fooling around with both the display through fog (this makes it faded through fog) and rocks arn't animated, so they remain faded while seen-through the fog, I'll try them both together, hopefully that will work

Rocks don't have animations at all in the first place! Try testing with a doodad using a unit model.
