[General] True Sight Reveal buildings in fog

[AtivEnergy]

Greetings again!
I found a problem with True Sight spell and i don't know how to solve it..

As you can see in the video above, the True Sight will always reveal normal buildings in fog and i don't want that.
Is there an solutions to avoid this?

The help will be appreciated!

Cool map!
So since it's close to forest survival and vampirism, do you know how their devs fixed it?
(haven't played said maps for some time now, so i don't remember if true sight was a thing)

Thank you! You can join to play with us if you want.

They didn't fix that either as far as i know.. but i think is not so impossible..

I can't really see what's going on in the gif but are saying that nearby invisible buildings get revealed by the True Sight ability even if they're in fog of war?

If yes, I don't think there's an easy solution, that sounds like a hardcoded issue with how invisibility interacts with buildings.

Yes, the True Sight ability works exactly as you described above by default.. Every single map which use True Sight ability has this problem..
Those buildings are normal buildings, they are not invisible.

Ah, so that bug has existed in Warcraft 3 all of these years? That's pretty odd... Anyway, if it's a bug then you'll most likely have to trigger the True Sight yourself. It'd be similar to triggering an Aura -> How do i make an aura that affects a specific unit type/s?

It's possible there's a workaround since Warcraft 3 modding is filled with weird solutions, but I don't know of any.

I think that bug was always there all of these years.. I am not so good with workarounds, so, for the moment, i'll consider that bug a annoying features of the item.

Make the true sight ability affect organic targets only?
probably won't work, but who knows
