Sight blocker + Mass trees

[proudmer22]

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)

I'm pretty sure Line of sight blockers should do exactly that. Maybe you're using the wrong ones or maybe you have something else giving vision over that area?

Negative. Screenshot is taken after I placed LOS blockers.

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.

I am sure that there are no units and no cheat codes active - Can it be because I'm in cinematic mode? But in game mode trees are blocking the vision anyway.

 

[Uncle]

Cinematic mode could be it.

I tested with a Footman that was standing in front of a row of LoS blockers that had trees behind them, and the trees were out of sight.

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).
