Hello!
1)What is the best way to create a "black wall" which would hide map boundaries like this? Sight blockers in World editor do not do anything.

2)Are there any resources of many trees in one doodad? In my map I mostly divide territories by trees and I would like to reduce the number of doodads on my map(it already takes about 5 seconds to choose a doodad when picking one from trigger functions)

They're working as intended in my Editor (latest patch). Are you positive you don't have flying vision or some other source of vision? They will only block the sight of ground units as far as I'm aware.

For them to work with Flying units I think you need to mess with the Occlusion Height, although from my tests I couldn't get it to work.

cinematic mode gives vision over the entire map. So you're best bet is either cliffs or if theyre too ugly for you, create custom doodads that use the rock chunk models but scaled up to maybe 5x/10x :) Or just fill the whole space with trees.
Well I'd rather use a special rotatable "black wall" model because rock chunk will take some space and in some regions I have a very slim line of tree blocking the path. Just need to find them(I'm sure someone made that already).
